Introducing Luna—Amazon’s New Cloud Gaming Service Where it’s Easy to Play on the Devices You Already Own

• Starting today, customers in the U.S. can request an invitation for early access and help shape the future of gaming on Luna
  
  
• Luna Controller with Cloud Direct technology provides low latency control and effortless play across screens
  
  
• Ubisoft game channel gives players access to new titles the same day they release

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 24, 2020-- Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN)—Starting today, customers in the U.S. can request early access to Amazon Luna, a new cloud gaming service designed for instant play. With Luna and the incredible scale and capability of Amazon Web Services (AWS), it’s easy to stream high-quality, immersive games. Players can enjoy Luna games on their favorite devices without lengthy downloads or updates, expensive hardware or complicated configuration. They can even start playing on one screen and seamlessly pick up and continue on another. At launch, Luna will be available on Fire TV, PC, and Mac as well as on web apps for iPhone and iPad, with Android coming soon.

“We created Luna to make it easy to play great games on the devices customers already own and love,” said Marc Whitten, Vice President, Amazon Entertainment Devices and Services. “It’s Day One for Luna—we are excited to work with gamers, streamers, and publishers like Ubisoft and Remedy Entertainment to build a great gaming experience for everyone.”

Great Games, Anywhere You Want to Play

Players can subscribe to the Luna+ game channel, which offers a growing library of games to play on Fire TV, PC, and Mac, or through web apps on iOS, with Android coming soon. During early access, Luna+ will include action games like Resident Evil 7, Control, and Panzer Dragoon; adventure games like A Plague Tale: Innocence and The Surge 2; platformers like Yooka-Laylee and The Impossible Lair and Iconoclasts; and fan favorites like GRID, ABZU and Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. Luna+ will be offered at an introductory price of $5.99/month during the early access period, with more titles to be added over time. Additionally, Luna+ subscribers can play on two devices simultaneously and get resolutions of 4K/60fps for select titles.

Amazon also announced a new gaming channel with leading global video game publisher Ubisoft, available directly through Luna. Players who subscribe to this channel will have access to their favorite Ubisoft titles in up to 4K resolution, mobile gameplay, and access to new titles when the channel launches like Assassins Creed Valhalla, Far Cry 6, and Immortals Fenyx Rising the same day they release. This is the first of multiple Luna game channels in development, where customers can play games from their favorite publishers and genres.

"We're proud to be working alongside Amazon on Luna, utilizing the power of cloud gaming to provide our players with another way to access our games, wherever they are," said Chris Early, SVP of Partnerships and Revenue, Ubisoft. "Ubisoft's channel on Luna will allow players to experience our new releases along with many of our catalog games, while enjoying player-friendly features like Alexa and Twitch integrations."

Play from Twitch

Gaming is more social than ever before and Twitch is where the world’s best streamers meet the world’s most engaged gaming community. Twitch is one of the most important ways that audiences discover great games and experiences, and we think cloud streaming can make that kind of discovery even easier. Inside the Luna experience, players will see Twitch streams for games in the service, and from Twitch, they’ll be able to instantly start playing Luna games.

Amazon Luna Controller Delivers Low Latency with Cloud Direct Technology

Customers can play Luna with a keyboard and mouse, a Bluetooth game controller, or the new Luna Controller with Cloud Direct technology. Luna Controller is Alexa-enabled and connects directly to the cloud to effortlessly control your game, featuring a multiple-antenna design that prioritizes un-interrupted wifi for lower latency gaming. In fact, our testing showed a reduction in roundtrip latency when playing Luna Controller with Cloud Direct vs. Luna Controller via Bluetooth, with reductions of between 17 to 30 milliseconds among PC, Fire TV, and Mac. Because the Luna Controller connects directly to cloud servers, players can easily switch between screens—such as Fire TV to mobile phone—without additional pairing or configuration changes. Luna Controller is available at an introductory price of $49.99 during the early access period.

Powered by AWS Game Servers

Luna is built on AWS and harnesses the power of the industry’s broadest and deepest cloud platform. What’s more, as new features and content are added for Luna customers, the backend tech that’s driving it all will also be frequently refreshed, ensuring a consistently improving experience whether they’re playing on their Fire TV, their phone, or anywhere else.

Availability

Customers in the U.S. can request an invitation today for early access to Luna. By choosing to participate, invited gamers will have the opportunity to contribute feedback that will inform future Luna features and development. Request an invitation to Luna today at http://amazon.com/Luna/.

At launch, Luna will be available on Fire TV, PC, and Mac as well as on web apps for iPhone and iPad, with Android coming soon.

Luna Controller

Wieder ein Dienst den ich in Österreich nie sehen werde

nicht?
Ok brauche ne Wohnung in Österreich

Mit ein wichtiger Grund für die Microsoft Übernahme von Bethesda.
Nun ist mit Amazon der nächste Big Player dabei...

Den Luna Controller braucht man gar nicht unbedingt:

Which controllers are compatible with Luna?
You can play with the Luna Controller, Xbox One controller, DualShock 4 controller, or use a mouse and keyboard.

Amazon also announced a new gaming channel with leading global video game publisher Ubisoft, available directly through Luna. Players who subscribe to this channel will have access to their favorite Ubisoft titles in up to 4K resolution, mobile gameplay, and access to new titles when the channel launches like Assassins Creed Valhalla, Far Cry 6, and Immortals Fenyx Rising the same day they release.

Solange sie ubisoft nicht aufkaufen, ist alles schick.
Ansonsten ist das der selbe Mist wie stadia. Wieso sollte das attraktiver sein? Wird nach der betaphase bestimmt auch teurer werden.

cool 6$ im Monat.. und vernünftiges Controller-Layout!

Explore action, adventure, platformer, indie, shooter, RPG, racing, and classic games from Ubisoft, Capcom, 505 Games, and Team 17 — and we're always adding more

Immer her damit.
Stadia funktioniert astrein in erstaunlicher Qualität, Luna wird sicherlich technisch ebenfalls sehr gut funktionieren.
Wird interessant werden, wie Google darauf reagiert. Bisher, also seit dem Launch, machen sie jedenfalls nichts draus. Keine native Integration in Android TV, keine Möglichkeit auf dem iPad/iPhone via Chrome Browser zu daddeln, null Kommunikation, irrlichten quasi meilenweit unterhalb der allgemeinen Wahrnehmung herum.
Amazon stellt sich vom ersten Eindruck her zumindest deutlich smarter und vom Angebot her attraktiver an.
Hoffe einer der beiden bekommt letztendlich die verdiente Aufmerksamkeit und Akzeptanz unter den Gamern.

Ubisoft Announces Channel on Amazon's Luna Cloud Gaming Service

Amazon has revealed its Luna cloud gaming service, which will soon allow players to play Ubisoft games by streaming them through a dedicated Ubisoft gaming channel. Luna is coming to Fire TV, PC, and Mac, as well as web apps for iPhone and iPad. The Luna+ subscription service, which includes streaming at 4K/60fps for select games, will feature a growing library of games and support for playing on two devices simultaneously.

Players can subscribe to the new Ubisoft gaming channel and get access to Ubisoft games at up to 4K resolution on Luna, including games from Ubisoft’s back catalog as well as new releases like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Far Cry 6, and Immortals Fenyx Rising, which, once the channel launches, will be available on the service on the same day they launch on other platforms.

“We’re already seeing new audiences that haven’t been Ubisoft players before playing on cloud platforms,” says Chris Early, senior vice president of partnerships at Ubisoft. “In addition to these new audiences, we’re also seeing people who have played before, but might have lapsed for several years and are coming back to play again. We believe they may own an older generation of a console or an older PC that can no longer run the games we release today and now they can play the newest games in a streaming environment without purchasing a new PC or console.”

“We’re also starting to see more dedicated players gaming across multiple platforms,” he adds. “If a game supports the ability to save progress on one platform, and then you’re able to carry it over to another, you have a case where someone might be playing in their living room and then they might want to continue to play on mobile or tablet on the go.”

Luna will also feature Twitch integration, allowing players to go from watching streams of their favorite games to playing instantly, as well as support for Alexa – Amazon’s cloud-based voice service. “At the service level, it’ll be a lot easier to integrate with Twitch and to use Twitch from the game itself,” Early says. “When it becomes part of the platform infrastructure, it becomes easier for us because we don’t have to do as much of the integration ourselves. And when you look at something like Hyper Scape, it already has really strong Twitch integration across a variety of platforms. For Alexa, the primary benefit there is to use it the same way you would use it for Prime Video, so you could just say, ‘Alexa, play Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.’ And if a game integrates with Alexa, then a development team could explore what they do with voice.”

ubisoft.com Press Release

Okay, zwei Fragen stellen sich mir: In welcher Grafikqualität (nicht Auflösung) sind die Spiele und kann ich für 6€ wirklich alle Spiele da spielen? Das ist ne krasse Ansage an Microsoft.

Wird vermutlich ähnlich performen wie Stadia. Das läuft via Chromecast am TV mit HDR und ist auf One X Niveau würde ich sagen, vielleicht sogar besser. Kann mich jedenfalls nicht beschweren. Am Smartphone ist die grafische Qualität ebenfalls ziemlich gut. Kein Vergleich jedenfalls zu xCloud, das ja recht armselig aussieht.
In den 6$ ist der Gamekatalog drin, für den Ubi-Channel und damit etwa den Zugriff auf AC Valhalla muss man extra zahlen. Mal gucken, wann Luna überhaupt in Europa startet.

Wenn amazon richtig schläu ist, integrieren sie das in Twitch mit amazon prime.

Das heißt Prime gaming.

6 Euro wäre wirklich eine Ansage. Aber wird halt auch so günstig sein wegen Beta.
Trotzdem ist bei Amazon damit zu rechnen, das die Aggressiv beim Preis vorgehen könnten.

Hoffentlich zeigt Amazon Google wie es läuft. Luna kann schon richtig gut werden, da Amazon durch die AWS ja auch ordentlich Dampf dahinter hat.
Die 6$ klingen auch fair, tippe beim Ubisoft Channel dann auf 14,99, da es ja quasi Uplay+ in der Cloud ist und sich Ubisoft damit nicht das eigene Wasser abgraben will

Jetzt mit den neuen Konsolen ums Eck und immer mehr Cloud Gaming (Stadia, XCloud, Geforce Now und nun Luna) bin ich mal gespannt wie die Next-Next-Gen aussehen wird und wie groß der Cloud Faktor dann sein wird

Und bei Luna läuft es dann via Browser auf iOS
