World of Warcraft players are about to get another free rare mount - the Swift Shorestrider. Originally only available in the WoW TCG, it will be available starting tomorrow, June 29, 2023, for free - provided you have a Prime Gaming subscription. Considering the value of this rare mount, it makes sense to obtain it while it is available. However, it will only be free for a limited time, so try not to miss out on availing it.

This isn’t the first amazing mount that World of Warcraft players have seen in Prime Gaming. The Swift Shorestrider is as expensive as many of the popular WoW TCG loot cards, though, so either way, it is worth taking the time to scoop up while you can.

The Swift Shorestrider was only available in a WoW TCG expansion Throne of the Tides booster pack, with luck being another factor. If you didn’t get one that way, it can be purchased from eBay for an exorbitant amount. The cheapest I saw this mount go for was around $300, although it usually costs $500 to $600.

If you want this beautiful ground mount in WoW, you can get one for free starting June 29, 2023. From 9:30 am PDT onwards, players can claim this mount for free via Prime Gaming.

Duration of giveaway

  • Prime Gaming begins: June 29, 2023, 9:30 am PDT
  • Prime Gaming ends: July 27, 2023, 9:29 am PDT

You have nearly a month to get the Swift Shorestrider for free, provided you have a Prime Gaming account. This is easily one of the rarest mounts in the game, so don't skip it.
