Amazon unveils cloud gaming service Luna

Amazon's long-rumoured cloud gaming service has finally been unveiled; it's called Luna and will be heading to Fire TV, PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Android soon.

As with Google and Microsoft's similarly styled offerings, Stadia and Cloud Gaming with Xbox Game Pass, Amazon's pitch is immediate access to a wide range of games across multiple devices. Unlike Stadia's much-maligned effort, however, Amazon is opting for something closer to an all-inclusive subscription model, offering over 100 games via its Luna+ channel for an "introductory price" of $5.99 USD a month during early access.

Over 100 titles will be available to begin with, playable at up to 4K/60fps, including the likes of Control, Panzer Dragoon, A Plague Tale: Innocence, The Surge 2, Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Layer, GRID, Resident Evil 7, Iconoclasts, Abzu, and Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. More titles will be added over time, and Amazon notes games can be played on up to two devices simultaneously with a single subscription.
