Amazon prices Luna+ cloud gaming at just under $10/month
Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) is making its subscription cloud gaming service, Luna+, available for $9.99 per month.
The tech giant launched Luna, a streaming game service, in fall 2020, unveiling its own rival to competitor efforts like xCloud at Microsoft (MSFT) and Stadia (now shuttered) at Google (GOOG) (GOOGL). Cloud gaming is also seeing a bit of encroachment from video-streaming pioneer Netflix (NFLX), not to mention Nvidia's (NVDA) GeForce Now. Amazon started charging $5.99 per month for Luna and opened up some access in summer 2021.
Now, Luna is available to Amazon Prime members at no extra cost, and for $9.99/month users can join Luna+, with access to a variety of games across a number of gaming genres.
Both Luna+ subscribers and Prime members are also able to link their Ubisoft account, and play the Ubisoft PC games they already own on supported devices, such as Amazon's Fire TV. An add-on Ubisoft+ subscription costs $17.99 per month and offers access to key AAA titles from the French videogame publisher, and a Jackbox Games add-on costs $4.99 per month.
Amazon's currently offering a weekend deal that brings its custom Luna game controller (which works wirelessly via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth) down to $49.99, as well as Luna/Fire TV gaming bundles.
