What is Amazon Luna?
Amazon Luna is a video game streaming platform.
“Streaming” because there is no console but, just like the former Google Stadia or the ever-alive Project xCloud, it works a bit like films on demand: ask a remote server to transmit the game, a sequence of images you interact with.
Where can I use Luna?
Practically everywhere.
Amazon Luna is accessible on Fire TV, smart TVs, Fire tablets, PC, Mac, Chromebook, iPhone, iPad, Android mobile devices, and on select Samsung and LG smart TVs.
We would like to point out that with the arrival of Luna, the Fire TV software will also be updated to include the new section dedicated to games.
