Amazon announces “A New Era” for Luna game streaming service

Amazon has its fingers in many different pies, with the corporation continuing to dip its ankles into the video game space. Though far less marketed than the likes of xCloud or GeForce Now, Amazon’s Luna game streaming service continues to truck along – with the company having now announced “A New Era” for Luna.

Taking to their blog to make the announcement, the team wrote: “Later this year, we will be launching a completely redesigned and reimagined Amazon Luna that combines innovative social party games with amazing blockbusters to make every night in your house the perfect game night to share with your family and friends.”

Part of this new ‘innovation’ is what Amazon is calling GameNight – offering multiplayer focused titles in which “your smartphone is your controller for experiences centered around the living-room TV” (not too dissimilar to likes of PlayStation’s old PlayLink titles).

Amazon Luna’s first GameNight exclusive is Courtroom Chaos: Starring Snoop Dogg – an “AI‑powered improv courtroom game where players invent outrageous characters, spin wild stories, and do whatever it takes to defend their testimonies before Judge Snoop Dogg.”

Beyond this, Amazon’s refreshed Luna service will offer “more than 50 popular, classic, indie, and blockbuster games” to stream as part of a rotating list, initially including the likes of “Hogwarts Legacy, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II…SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom” and more.

Full details on this new version of Amazon Luna (including plenty of self-aggrandising on how “fun, magical, convenient” the service is) can be found HERE.
