Developed by Blacklight Interactive,Golf With Your Friendsisa popular indie sports gamethat gained notoriety for its chaotic multiplayer mayhem. The game’s wacky power-ups and unconventional settings prioritize fun with friends over a realistic golf simulation experience, which has led to it being a popular title among streamers and YouTube creators. The online multiplayer functionality, which can handle up to 12 players, is another reason for the game’s enduring popularity in online spaces.
AlthoughGolf With Your Friendswas initially released to middling reviewsin May 2020, its small scale and cute art style make it well-suited for a second life on a subscription service like Prime Gaming. It’s an especially exciting release for fans ofHouse of Golf 2, another similarly-minded golf game that will be taken off Prime just three days afterGWYFis added.
A sequel,Golf With Your Friends 2, is expected to enter Early Access on Steam sometime in 2025. The original was in Early Access for 4 years, but this new title is being developed by an entirely different team, so perhaps it will have a shorter reveal-to-release cycle. The upcoming Prime code will bring the series back into relevance for the first time in a while, which will likely increase interest in the limited release ofGWYF2later this year.
