While it retails at $69.99, it’s frequently on sale (It’s currently on sale for $29.99).

It works with Luna, but also PC and a variety of other platforms through Bluetooth. Amazon Luna – ControllerĪmazon also sells a dedicated Luna controller. Just so long as you remember to cancel eventually. For those use cases, Amazon Luna’s ~$5 monthly prices are a downright steal. And while this review’s focus isn’t on those individual channels’ collective quality, it’s not hard to imagine someone subscribing to something like the Jackbox channel for an evening game night, or a family that just wants to play Overcooked. In reality, many users might only want Jackbox Games – or to play games with the Family. A vast majority of these games are exclusive to their respective channels, which means to access Luna’s entire catalog of games, you’ll be shelling out $41/month on top of your Amazon Prime subscription.īut’s that a bit of a backward way of thinking about it.
There are a few other channels, including the Family Channel for $5.99 a month, the Retro Channel for $4.99 a month, and a Jackbox Games channel for $4.99 a month. (Ubisoft+’s PC-only plan costs a tad less at $14.99.) Your $17.99 subscription also allows you to play locally on PC or stream on Stadia. This channel costs a whopping $17.99 a month but it’s not proprietary to Luna.
The other big channel is reserved for Ubisoft+, which features the big-name games from the studio, including Riders Republic, Far Cry 6: Ultimate Edition, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Complete Edition, and more. This seems especially damning when compared to Xbox Cloud Gaming, which is included with a Game Pass Ultimate subscription and features all of Microsoft’s vast first-party games line-up on release day. Games like Lost Ark and New World are completely absent from Luna. It costs $9.99 a month and boasts a catalog of 120+ games, including standouts like Ghostrunner: Complete Edition, Abzu, Control Ultimate Edition, Enter the Gungeon, and Super Mega Baseball 3.Ĭuriously, Amazon Studio’s own games don’t make the cut.
Amazon’s clearly thinking of this as a cherry-on-top of Amazon Prime, rather than the kind of killer feature that would have users dishing out $14.99 a month to start subscribing.Īmazon also wants users to buy into a la carte “Channels” which host a thematic collection of games. At the time of publishing, the group was Steel Assault, Myst, Control, and Garfield Kart. A previous group offered Overcooked 2, Mega Man 11, Castlevania Anniversary Collection, and Skatebird. It’s a relatively small group, though they do rotate periodically. You can also read a quick Metacritic breakdown and see more Luna games by the publisher.This is about as good of a games page as they come – it’s robust and useful and I genuinely enjoyed clicking around, checking out streamers who were playing each game, and watching a few trailers.Īll Amazon Prime members can access a handful of games for free. Tapping into a game gives you options to quickly start playing, add to a playlist (which functions as a collection of your favorites), or peruse trailers, screenshots, or even streamers currently playing the game. While games are still packed into carousels and rows, each features big, colorful cover art. Luna’s mobile app (or browser-based app in the case of iOS) is quite a bit cleaner. From top to bottom, you’ll see two unrelated-to-Luna toolbars, then underneath all that, you’ll finally arrive at Luna’s curated content. On a browser, however, the interface is just a bit of a mess. There’s a toolbar on the left, which features buttons for showcased games, the library, games in your playlist, a search function, a “Couch” button (more on that later), a broadcast button for quickly hopping into Twitch sessions, and Settings. The Luna storefront features a stripped-down interface that is mostly navigated by scrolling through row after row.
