Amazon Luna: The Cloud Game that’s Ready to Roll
Cloud gaming has been on the climb lately, and Amazon has finally dropped its own contender. With a touch of humor, a splash of emotion, and a whole lot of “let’s play,” we’ve got all the info you need.
What’s the Deal?
Amazon announced Luna at its recent Event. The service is currently in early access and you’ll need an email invite to dive in. If you’re in the US, you can register on Amazon US to get that coveted spot.
Why It Matters
- Runs games up to 1080p at 60fps
- Future 4K support on the horizon (tune in for 35 Mbps minimum)
- Two devices streaming at once with Luna+
- Uses 10 Mbps minimum for smooth play
How Do You Play?
Luna’s got a wide reach across platforms:
- Fire TV devices
- Chrome on Windows PCs
- Mac (Safari)
- Safari on iPhone & iPad (iOS 14+)
And if you want a comfy Luna Controller, it’s a $49 item. But no worries—they’re fully compatible with PlayStation DualShock 4, Xbox One controllers, or even your everyday mouse and keyboard.
Cost & Subscription
- Subscription: Luna+ at $5.99 per month (S$8.26) in the US.
- Available only in the US for now—no VPN patch for that.
Games—Where’s the Fun?
Roughly 50 titles launch in early access. Here’s a taste of the lineup:
- “Control”
- “Resident Evil 7”
- “A Plague Tale: Innocence”
- “Overcooked! 2”
- “Two Point Hospital”
- “Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons”
By the end of early access, the library’s expected to double—more games, more adventures!
Special Extras
Ubisoft is rolling out its own exclusive channel during early access. Expect titles like:
- “Assassin’s Creed Valhalla”
- “Watch Dogs Legion”
- “Immortals Fenyx Rising”
Future of Luna?
Only the US for now, but the game’s already gaining traction. If you’re riding the cloud wave, Luna could be the next big splash—just don’t forget your VPN when it expands.
