Amazon is inching closer to rolling out Prime Gaming, its subscription service that offers free access to a number of titles and which ships bundled with Amazon Prime and Video plans, to its members in India, according to the company's website.

With Prime Gaming (included with your Prime membership) unlock instant access to tons of exclusive content for your favorite games and a rotating collection of PC games…each and every month," the company describes on the site.

A support page on the Prime Gaming website also mentions India as an operational market for the service; however, users who're currently attempting to access Prime Gaming are being redirected to a blank page.

Following some users spied and started tweeting mentions of Amazon's apparent plan to launch Prime Gaming in the country, the latter quietly pulled some of those mentions late Monday. [H/T Rishi Alwani.]

Prime Gaming is available in multiple markets. The service, a rebranded version of Twitch Prime, was first launched in the U.S. back in 2016. It provides the user with a gamut of several other benefits, among them loot at no additional cost, in-game, and a range of features that are focused on Twitch.

The company has killed off several of its India businesses in recent weeks and did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
