Amazon enters the gaming industry. The company announced the cloud-based game distribution service “Luna” at a large-scale announcement event held on September 24. Aimed at Fire TV, smartphones, tablets, and PCs, the service competes with Microsoft’s xCloud and Google’s Stadia.

As part of an invitation-only early access program, the “Luna +” gaming channel will be offered for $ 5.99 per month. A controller for the service will also be on sale, and the early access period will be $ 49.99 (about 5,300 yen). You can play with the “Xbox One” controller, “DUALSHOCK 4” from “PlayStation”, as well as with the mouse and keyboard.

The service will run on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) server and the game will initially be delivered at resolutions up to 1080p and frame rates of 60fps (4K support will be available soon). Games offered during the early access period include “CONTROL”, “Biohazard 7 Resident Evil”, “GRID”, “Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair” and “The Story of Two Brothers Sons”.
One of the first companies to provide games to Luna is Ubisoft, which distributes “Assassin Creed Valhara” and others. This too “will come soon”.
It is linked to the popular game video distribution platform “Twitch”, and it will be possible to watch Twitch videos directly from Luna and start Luna games immediately from Twitch. Amazon acquired Twitch in 2014.
Amazon recommends a minimum internet connection speed of 10 Mbps for streaming Luna games and a minimum requirement of 35 Mbps for 4K gaming.
Luna will be available on Fire TV, Mac, and PC, and will be available via a “web app” for iPhones and iPads running iOS 14. It will soon be available for “Android.”
Luna’s official release date has not been disclosed, but the United States is accepting early access apps on Amazon’s website.
