Amazon Luna has officially launched in the United States, except in Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. territories, on Tuesday. The company has also announced the addition of three new gaming channels.
Similar to other cloud gaming services, Amazon Luna allows people to play video games without having to purchase gaming consoles and or set up PC gaming systems. Games can be accessed by streaming them, which means most of the readily available devices (including mobile phones and tablets) should be enough to access its video game library.
The launch of Amazon Luna this week marks the first time that the service is made available to the public. Since late 2020, it was only available to select customers invited to join an early access program.
The Amazon Luna FAQ information indicates that the cloud gaming service is supported on Windows PC, Mac, Fire TV, Fire tablet, Chromebook, iPhone, iPad, or Android phone. The page does not indicate the minimum internet speed needed to stream games via Luna, but Amazon says users can play games at up to 1080p resolution. Users can opt for a lower 720p resolution for internet plans with lower bandwidth and limited data allowance.
Amazon is also selling an Amazon Luna controller (pictured above). But the company notes it is not a requirement to play games via Luna. Aside from on-screen touch controls available in games from the Luna catalog, Amazon also has a Luna Controller app that allows smartphones to function as dedicated controllers.
What makes Amazon Luna quite different from Google Stadia and Xbox Cloud Gaming is it somehow serves as a platform for various video game subscription services with free games that are usually replaced monthly.
Amazon calls them “gaming channels,” and three have been added to Luna this week as well. One of them is Amazon’s own Prime Gaming that currently offers unlimited access to “Devil May Cry 5” and will add “Immortals Fenyx Rising” on March 8.
Amazon Luna now supports the Retro Channel that, as the name suggests, mainly features a library filled with classic video games, such as “Metal Slug 3,” “Street Fighter 2,” and “Castlevania.” For a collection of family-friendly games, Luna also added the Jackbox Games channel. Both channels are available for $4.99 per month.
