At its 2020 hardware event, Amazon launched a cloud gaming platform called Luna. With this move, Google’s Stadia and Microsft’s xCloud get their new competitor in the field of cloud gaming.
Luna users will be able to stream games wirelessly without downloading them to PC, Mac, Fire TV, and iOS, with an Android version scheduled for post-launch. The launch price will be $ 5.99 per month with early access and gives subscribers the ability to play Luna Plus channel games on two devices simultaneously and offers 4K / 60fps resolution.
Amazon says more than 100 games will be available through the Luna Plus channel, and launch titles include Resident Evil 7, Control, Panzer Dragoon, A Plague Tale: Innocence, The Surge 2, Yooka-Laylee, GRID, AbzuY Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. Amazon says more titles will be added: “over time.” The company has also partnered with Ubisoft for a specific “gaming channel.” Amazon describes the gaming channel: “Players who subscribe to this channel will have access to their favorite Ubisoft titles with up to 4K resolution, mobile gameplay, and access to new titles when the channel launches as Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Far Cry 6and immortal Fenyx rising the same day they release. This is the first of several Luna game channels in development where customers can play games from their favorite publishers and genres. “
Amazon also announced its own Alexa-enabled Luna Controller that connects directly to the service to reduce latency. The controller will cost $ 49.99 during the early access period, but gamers always have the option to play with a mouse and keyboard or a Bluetooth controller.
Amazon will also feature Twitch integration with Luna, allowing gamers to dive right into the games they just watched their favorite streamers play.
