Quick overview

Amazon Luna is a cloud-based gaming platform from Amazon.com, Inc. It lets you stream and play console-style games on devices you already own — smart TVs and TV boxes, desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones — so you don’t need a dedicated gaming console or high-end gaming PC to play modern titles.

Devices, streaming quality, and performance

  • Play on a wide range of compatible hardware: TV adapters/boxes, Windows and macOS machines, Chromebooks, Android and iOS phones.
  • Select games can stream in Ultra HD (4K) and many run at 60 frames per second on supported content; other titles are delivered in 1080p (standard HD).
  • Streaming quality depends on your internet connection and the specific game: some publishers provide 4K-capable builds while others are limited to 1080p.

Game catalog and examples

Luna operates like a subscription streaming library for games — similar to how video services offer on-demand shows, but with full playable titles from both major and independent publishers. The launch selection featured about 50 games across genres. Examples include:

  • The Surge 2
  • Abzu
  • Control
  • Yooka-Laylee
  • Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
  • A Plague Tale: Innocence
  • Panzer Dragoon
  • Resident Evil 7
  • The Impossible Lair

Ubisoft partnership and the Ubisoft channel

Amazon and Ubisoft collaborated to add a dedicated Ubisoft channel inside the Luna app. Through that channel:

  • Several Ubisoft titles are available in Ultra HD at 60 fps when supported by the game and your connection.
  • Notable Ubisoft entries on the channel include Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Far Cry 6, and Immortals Fenyx Rising.
  • Keep in mind that not every Ubisoft game on Luna will run at 4K; many will be delivered at 1080p.

Account features, controllers, and integrations

  • A single Luna channel subscription can support up to six personal profiles and allows play across multiple devices, which is handy for households that want to share access.
  • Players can use various controllers, including the Luna Controller, or other compatible gamepads.
  • Luna integrates with Twitch, making it straightforward to stream or share gameplay with followers.

Who this suits

Luna is a strong fit for players who want access to a broad library without buying new hardware, or for anyone who prefers a subscription model for games. It’s particularly appealing if you value streaming convenience and device flexibility.

Free alternatives to try

  • Skribbl.io — free, browser-based party drawing game
  • World of Warships — free-to-play naval combat MMO

Final notes

Amazon Luna provides a convenient way to access hundreds of titles in HD or Ultra HD, with multiplatform support and additional publisher-backed channels expanding the catalog over time.
