I was just trying to see what platforms was ac odyssey on, but then I saw it was on Amazon Luna and I had never heard of AL before so I just wanna know how it works like on what can I play it on and what do I need to buy for it and if I need a subscription for it and about how much would it cost and just in general how it works
I keep seeing Luna on Amazon and need to know what it is. Is it just a controller? How does it access games? Is it a monthly subscription? Pay per game? One time buy? Is it worth it? I’m not tech savvy at all, so even reading the description goes over my head. I want to get this for my dad, but not sure if he can use it. He’s also not tech savvy, but understands how to keep using it once he is shown. So please tell me everything I need to know. Any help is appreciated.

Luna’s gotten so good lately, I actually cancelled my GeForce Now subscription.
I’ve been aware of Luna for a while and dabbled with it here and there, but something changed recently, coincidentally right around the recent GamePass price hike (nice timing Amazon). The platform has seriously leveled up, especially with the ability to cloud stream select titles from GOG, Ubisoft, and EA that you already own. I’d love to see Epic Games join the mix next.
The growing libraries from Prime Gaming and Luna Prime are a solid bonus too.
There’s still room to grow (21:9 aspect ratio support would be a game changer!), but I’m genuinely excited to be along for the ride as Amazon continues to evolve this service.
Hi, I still don't fully understand how Luma works. I have amazon prime, some games on GOG and on Epic Games.
For example, I want to play Kingdom Come: Deliverance. What are my options?
1a. I can buy it on the Luna web. https://luna.amazon.es/game/kingdom-come-deliverance/B0D6Y4ZYJ1 If I buy it there, I can play it without Luna+ subscription?
1b. If I buy it on GOG. Do I need a Luna+ subscription?
1c. If I buy the Luna+ subscription, it is included? How can I know which games are included?What happens if I don't pay the amazon prime subscription anymore? Do I lose access to Luma. Even if I pay the Luma+ subscription?
Thanks in advance
Hello Amazon Luna team.
I'm having a blast playing with Amazon Luna +. I used to be a hardcore gamer, but now, because of work and since I have a kid, Amazon Luna+ is great for my casual gaming. The game library is appealing, and adding games from Ubisoft and GOG is a great perk.
The best thing, however, is the streaming video quality and response I get from the games.
I hope Luna doesn't go away silently. I hope Amazon can back this product up for a couple of more years.
Thanks Luna+
So I just want to get some talk going in this group! I came across Luna when it first started but fell off and stuck with stadia back then. Once stadia shut down I decided to get into consoles, but soon I was getting sick of the constant updates and memory storage running short.
Literally 2 days later Fortnite gets announced for amazon luna. I give it a try and was blown away with how well it worked. I have fiber internet and had no lag at all. Decided to try it on my Fire HD 10 tablet and was blown away with how well it worked on that. My fire tv, nothing less than how well everything else worked. Then I connected my ubisoft account and had access to all my Assassin's Creed games which is my favorite franchise! And with being a prime member I didn't have to pay anything extra!
Now Xdefiant is coming to Luna as well! And AC Mirage! I am in for the long run on this!
Using the Luna Controller has been nothing but amazing as well.
Here is to hoping the Fire Max 11 goes on sale during prime days coming up cause if it does I will be snagging that thing up instantly!
Basically death by lack of users, amateur marketing, and poor consumer sway. There wasn’t enough selling points for the Stadia to distinguish it from its competitors—the Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch and reception towards cloud gaming has been lukewarm at best. Most gamers are content with digital gaming, but I’m doubtful that they’d want to pay a subscription fee to stream games (that they don’t technically own) on their devices.
Though the Stadia went out with a silent sour fart, the Luna is still kicking though it isn’t nearly as popular as the competition. It’s arguably had a better run than its Google counterpart, but that’s not saying much as it’s a largely unknown peripheral within gaming spheres. The absence of a similar cloud gaming service has given it more leeway, but it still has Xbox Cloud Gaming to contend with that holds a stronger connection with the household than Amazon does with catering to gamers.
I guess its still in the beta stages cus I had to apply to try it out and got an email few days later saying I got it and gave me a link. There's 2 tiers: the 5.99/month and 14.99/ month. Im trying the 5.99/month plan and I get 7 days free at first so i can cancel if im not satisfied.
Obviously the cheaper tier is not gonna have all the games, actually most of the games are like the indie, Kickstarter games. Most of them were already on the Xbox Game Pass so nothing new. The only games im playing are Ys 8, Metro Exodus, and Control. So far the actual streaming is good, no hardcore lagging or anything. Im using my T-6 Helios gamepad, works well. For 6 bucks a month, its ok but i hear thats the early price, it might go up. I might keep it a month or so cus I really am digging those 3 games.
I know thr 15$ a month has all the Ubisoft games but might as well get the Xbox Game Pass for that price
Yeah. Gamepass is a way better offer, but it's been pretty unstable lately from what I hear. I'm a big stadia user, and while the library isn't the best(it is improving imo) it has the best experience out there.
If it available to you I'd give it a try destiny 2. It's completely free to try and use. You can get the optional sub and/or buy the games available in the catalog (including cyberpunk, hitman 3, rdr2 and more)
I cancelled my Luna sub after a few months. It's good, but not quite the equal of Stadia for playability. And it doesn't have the library to make putting up with input lag like game pass, which, like Luna is almost there, tech wise, but the game selection is better.
Curious about what people think about how Amazon Luna will compete with Microsoft as they keep dropping huge games on Xbox Cloud every month. I would hope Amazon has plans to partner up with Steam or Epic Game Store and really expand the library soon.
I was playing Doom Dark Ages on Xbox Cloud and thinking about Amazon Luna’s future.
Thoughts?
I just heard of it as today 2024, read it was announced since 2020 lmao!!! So what is it? Another cloud gaming service like Nvdia and Xbox one? I need to own the games to play? I just can start playing with my Prime membership? I'm living under a rock like Patrick? Wait what?
It seems it functions the same way. Have anyone tried it?
I want to buy the Luna subscription but I really wanna hear from you all.
Things you like about it? Ease of access? Do you have fun? Something you don't like?
Let me hear it all!
Recently I've returned to cloud gaming in a big way with Luna. The controller is fantastic offering both direct connect and Bluetooth.
The service itself runs flawlessly offering a crisp 1080p/60 display via your web browser. With the Luna+ and Ubisoft+ subscriptions I have a massive amount of games on hand, and I'm very happy they went with the Netflix model vs paid games. I'd always purchase games and never play them, so the Netflix model is much better for me.
Recently they announced a partnership with GOG bringing titles like Witcher & Cyberpunk along with classic retro titles. They announced in March and I'm eagerly awaiting the game drops: https://www.gog.com/blog/more-ways-to-play-your-gog-games-were-teaming-up-with-luna-cloud-streaming-service/
Give Luna a go if it's available in your region. I recommend it.
I'm in my 40s. I used to have Amiga 500, Nintendo Wii, Playstation 2. Haven't been paying videogames for 20 years (if you don't consider MTG Arena a videogame). Last week I subscribed to Luna and I'm loving it. Right now I'm playing mostly Hollow Knight (best game ever tried since Prince of Persia 1989 edition) and NFS Unbound. I tried Fortnite, since I know it's super famous for youngsters, but I guess it's not for me. Accepting suggestions on good games (non too complicated since I'm old and I don't have the skills I used to have when I was 16) to play, and maybe something co-op to try playing with my wife.
Hey guys, i was contemplating on buying jackbox games to play with friends, I found that amazon luna has all 8 party packs for a 5$ subscription, So if i do subscribe to it, Will it allow me to download the games or just stream them?
I used to have the latest Xbox but frankly I didn’t have to the time to play it to reasonably want to keep it. However I’ve been getting the urge to have some type of game to play in my free time and am considering purchasing a Luna controller along with Luna + I’m already a primer member as well. Anyone have any tips or information as to whether I’ll be disappointed or whether it’s worth it? I have a firetv which allows the Luna app to be installed with 4k capability
