Amazon’s Luna Cloud Gaming Service Comes to the Prime Video App in the US and UK

Amazon is starting to integrate its Luna cloud gaming service into its Prime Video platform. If you’re in the US and the UK and have a Fire TV device, you’ll now see a new “Games” tab in the Prime Video app that brings the library of Luna games to Amazon’s main streaming platform.

“For a lot of people, games have been harder to find than they should be,” said Jeff Gattis, GM of Gaming at Amazon. “Bringing Luna inside Prime Video allows Prime members to discover games more naturally, and if they see one they like, they click it and they’re in. That’s less time searching and more time playing great games included with their Prime membership.”

Access to Amazon Luna is included with an Amazon Prime subscription. There’s a rotating library of games that includes AAA titles such as Hogwarts Legacy, EA Sports FC 26, and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which can be played with a Bluetooth-enabled controller or a phone with the Luna Controller app.

However, Amazon has been shifting its focus to social party games that can be played with a phone. You can find these games in the curated “GameNight” library, which includes titles such as Clue, Ticket to Ride, and Taboo, with new party games being added every month.

“Across video, music, live sports, and more, Amazon has built a one-stop entertainment destination, and Luna is the playable layer that now sits alongside it. Today is just the beginning. We will reveal more details on additional devices, countries, and games in the months ahead,” Amazon said today.

As you may know, Netflix has also been experimenting with cloud gaming on TVs and web browsers, though the company’s gaming strategy seems mostly focused on mobile games right now. However, the company also launched a selection of party games in November that can be played on TVs with a phone as a controller. However, unlike Amazon, Netflix isn’t offering big blockbuster games like Hogwarts Legacy on TVs right now.
