Gaming Documentaries on Prime Video
Amazon has positioned itself as one of the most popular streaming platforms in the world for its development of diverse content, particularly with its renowned video game adaptations into series or movies. Apart from "Fallout's" skyrocketing debut in the television show format, Amazon Prime Video also has documentaries focusing on video games that deliver significant experiences for fans and those who want to be well-versed in their history.
The massive rivalries in the early days of gaming have spawned the fire inside players to be more competitive in the digital world, with Prime Video giving users an inside look at who the best "Donkey Kong" player is in the world with "King of Kong." On the other hand, Prime Video also offers an award-winning documentary film "Indie Game: The Movie," which steps away from the spotlight for independent games to get a feature.
That being said, there are other video game documentaries or historical re-enactments available on other streaming platforms like Netflix, Paramount Plus, Apple TV, and more for the community to enjoy. However, Prime Video has an upcoming series for football fans to watch right before Thanksgiving, and it is diving deep into EA Sports and its "Madden" franchise.
