Amazon Luna is now in the UK, Germany and Canada too, with the service and dedicated controller becoming available.
Amazon Luna is the retailer's answer to Cloud Gaming with Xbox Game Pass, Nvidia GeForce Now and the now defunct Google Stadia. It allows users to play games across multiple devices by streaming video of live gameplay over the internet from a remote server, with the controller movements heading the other way.
What does Amazon Luna offer in the UK and how much is it?
Amazon Prime members get a rotating selection of games to play as part of their existing subscription, at no extra cost. You just need to sign in to the service and away you go.
Alternatively, a larger selection of games are available to play as part of a Luna+ subscription. This costs £8.99 per month in the UK and includes titles across a healthy number of different genres - action, adventure and classic games included.
In addition, a separate subscription to Ubisoft+ Multi Access gives access to a vast library of Ubisoft games for £14.99 per month. This includes the likes of Assassin's Creed, Watch Dogs, the Tom Clancy games, and Far Cry shooters. Finally, a Jackbox Games subscription offers the off-the-wall party games studio's many titles for £3.99 per month.
Ubisoft has today announced that Luna support has been added for the publisher's UK subscribers via Ubisoft+ Multi Access. This allows them to access their Ubisoft+ subscription and games via PC and now Luna across multiple devices.
The Amazon Luna Controller
The Luna Controller is designed and optimized for Luna, connecting directly to the cloud via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to effortlessly control your game and reduce gameplay latency. Thanks to Luna Controller’s technology, gamers can seamlessly switch between compatible screens — such as Fire TV to mobile phone — without additional pairing or configuration changes. You can purchase an Amazon Luna Controller for £59.99.
FYI - You won’t need to buy a Luna Controller to play these games, with Luna supporting third-party controllers and touch controls.
Now through March 31, Prime members in the United States, Canada, Germany, and the United Kingdom can play these following games:
· The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero
· Get Packed: Couch Chaos
· Mega Man 11
· Sail Forth
Coming in April, Prime members can access these titles through Prime Gaming on Luna:
