Amazon has joined the ranks of fellow tech giants in launching their very own cloud game streaming service. Luna is a cloud gaming service that lets you play games on compatible Fire TV, PC, and Mac devices as well as through web apps on iPhones and iPads. The new service will compete with Google Stadia, Microsoft xCloud, NVIDIA GeForce Now, SONY PlayStation Now, and more boutique services such as Shadow or Vortex. Luna is currently in an invitation-only stage with initial pricing of 5.99 USD per month for Luna+ while in early access. Luna+ supports gameplay on two devices at once with resolutions of up to 1080p 60 FPS with 4K support coming in the future for select titles.

Luna offers game channels which grant access to a specification selection of games for a monthly fee currently, only Luna+ is offered with a Ubisoft channel coming soon. Luna+ features a variety of action, adventure, platformer, indie, shooter, RPG, racing, and classic games from Ubisoft, Capcom, 505 Games, and Team 17 with more games to be added over time. Some of the major games on the platform include Control, Grid, Resident Evil 7, Metro Exodus, ABZÛ, Overcooked 2, and Two Point Hospital. The Ubisoft channel will include a variety of games including Watch Dogs: Legion with all DLC unlocked for play on a single device for an as of yet unannounced monthly fee.
 
Luna is compatible with the Xbox One controller, DualShock 4 controller, keyboard/mouse, and the Luna Controller. The Luna controller is a new controller designed specifically for the service which can connect to compatible devices over Bluetooth or USB, the controller features Alexa and Twitch integration. Twitch integration allows easy switching between Twitch streams and Luna games on compatible titles. Amazon recommends a minimum internet speed of 10 Mbps for 1080p gaming and 35 Mbps for 4K. While in early access Luna is only available to mainland US.
 
Well at least with so many online gaming companies the consumer has a wide variety of choice in my opinion. 

Does anyone you know actually use any of these services? My brother tested one of theme during a free trial, but said it wasn't worth it. Seems like they are pushing for a base that won't show up based on the amount of people pre-ordering PS5, Xbox, and trying to buy 30 series cards.

Dont trust my isp to not go down at inopportune times.

I wonder how these cloud gaming will perform in practice

I don't like the idea of relying on so much on the outside in order to game. I like the control of my own PC and what I put on it.

These cloud services are good to use for casual play when you're away from your main system (ala xCloud), but imo not much beyond that.

I have used Stadia since launch and its fine. I mean it adds a little extra latency 30 - 50 ms for 1080 gaming but 4k adds a little more. It's really game dependent. I prefer playing on my desktop.
I think the whole appeal for me was this powerful cloud gaming machine but it was really around ps 4 performance and below xbox, so doesn't really do much for me overall.
If you just want to play games... sure. It could be pretty cheap that way. 

These new streaming gaming services are interesting.

With bandwidth caps and unreliable DSL, I can't speak for others, but I've not been impressed with these cloud gaming services.

The United States still relies way too heavily on anti-consumer datacaps for this to take off. Even with a gigabit connection the datacaps are stupidly low

Between GEFORCE Now, Stadia, and Game pass the competition will bring great value to us gamers!

ughh not more of these, It works for some people i guess.

What, does Amazon have no creativity? There's already Moonlight lol

I guess I have more trust in Amazon to pull this off effectively than I do Google. Then again, it feels like Amazon's been trying to break into video games for a while with pretty much nothing to show for it.

interesting, gonna keep my eye on this
