Those in the United States may now use Amazon’s gaming streaming service, Luna. Since its early access introduction on Amazon Fire TV devices in 2020, the cloud-based gaming platform has been rapidly increasing in popularity. Companies are becoming increasingly interested in the market of cloud gaming. A subscription-based service with an online games marketplace, Google Stadia was one of the first to jump into the game streaming trend. The streaming service xCloud gaming, which is available to Game Pass subscribers, has also been tested by Microsoft.
As part of its bigger pro-gaming strategy, Amazon has joined the streaming market alongside other businesses like Nvidia. While Amazon’s Luna service is still a relative newcomer compared to the likes of these other giants, it appears that the company is making a concerted attempt to make it a success by investing time and money into it. According to a recent press release from Amazon, players will now be able to access Luna even more easily. There are several interesting aspects to the service described in this statement, including its multi-channel approach and compatibility with Luna Controller, a customised gaming controller designed to minimise latency.
Additionally, Prime members will get access to a “rotating selection of free games” on the Prime Gaming Channel, according to the announcement. Immortals Fenyx Rising, Observer: System Redux and Devil May Cry 5 are among the free games available on this channel this month. For now, Luna is only available for Macs and iOS devices, as well as Windows, Android, and Fire devices. Amazon Luna and other cloud streaming services have been criticised for their potential negative influence on the environment.
Luna’s carbon footprint might conceivably be double that of traditional gaming if two big pieces of electrical technology are required to operate in tandem to play one game. Many environmentalists may view this potential as much more troublesome if they take into account the development of peripherals like the Luna Controller. These concerns aside, Amazon Luna now that it’s more readily available and less expensive for Prime Members will undoubtedly be checked out by gamers interested in cloud-based gaming. It’s guaranteed to be a hit, thanks to a growing library of games and a more affordable price scheme than some other streaming services. As Amazon Luna’s customer base expands, maybe the environmental challenges can be addressed.
