Dispatch, the choice-driven superhero management game from AdHoc Studio, is now available to stream on Amazon Luna Standard as part of the July 2026 Amazon Prime gaming lineup. Prime members can jump in right now without any additional purchase.
What Dispatch actually is
For anyone who missed it during its 2025 release, here's the lowdown. Dispatch is the debut title from AdHoc Studio, a team built largely from former Telltale Games developers. That DNA shows immediately. The game is built around choice-based storytelling and sharp dialogue, with the kind of direction that makes every conversation feel like it has real weight.
You play as Robert Robertson III, voiced by Aaron Paul, a retired Iron Man-style hero called Mecha Man who loses his suit and ends up behind a desk at the Superhero Dispatch Network (SDN). Your job is to manage a squad of reformed villains, figure out which hero fits each mission, and then deal with the fallout when they inevitably go off-script. Think Suicide Squad energy, but with a Telltale-style moral compass running underneath everything.
The key here is that the game's strength isn't the action. It's the writing. Tight dialogue, strong performances (including Jeffrey Wright, whose work on the project reportedly surprised the developers themselves), and a story that actually responds to your decisions in ways that feel meaningful.
The Luna streaming library keeps growing
Along with Dispatch, Sonic Mania Plus is also now available on Luna Standard. The GameNight party game section has added Courtroom Chaos: Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Centipede Swarm, with Jackbox Party Pack 8 (July 22) and Angry Birds Mystery Island (July 23) arriving later this month.
What most players miss about Amazon's gaming offering is how it differs from something like PlayStation Plus. The free PC games Amazon hands out each month come via redeemable codes for storefronts like the Epic Games Store and GOG, meaning you keep them permanently even if your Prime subscription lapses. That's a meaningfully different deal than Sony's model, where your access disappears the moment your subscription does.
12 free PC games available in July
Beyond Dispatch on Luna, Prime members can claim a full dozen PC games throughout July. Here's the complete list:
Worth playing if you skipped it last year
If Dispatch passed you by in 2025, Amazon Luna is a genuinely low-friction way to catch up. No download required, no extra cost on top of a Prime subscription you likely already have. The game runs around 8 to 10 hours depending on how much time you spend in dialogue, which makes it a tight, focused experience rather than a sprawling commitment.
Pro tip: the hero assignments matter more than they appear to early on. Sending the wrong character on a mission has real story consequences, not just a failed stat check. Check out our Dispatch hero tier list before you start deploying, and if you want to go deeper on the mechanics, the superhero team management guide covers the office politics and mission strategy in detail.
For players who want to get the most out of every character before credits roll, the Dispatch all heroes and leveling guide breaks down stat builds and power synergies across the full roster of 8 heroes. The later chapters reward players who actually understand what each character is good at.
