Amazon Introduces Cloud Gaming Service, Luna
Amazon is getting into the cloud gaming business with Luna, a new service that uses its Amazon Web Services tech as the backbone. Amazon says that at launch, Luna will be playable on PC, Mac, Amazon’s own Fire TV devices, as well as iPhone and iPad through web apps. An Android version is said to be coming soon as well. This is a notable difference between Luna and the cloud gaming services from Microsoft and Google–xCloud and Stadia, respectively–which have run into Apple policies that have prevented the ability to play on iOS devices. Apple recently changed its rules, but Microsoft issued a statement maintaining that it’s still a bad experience for gamers.For the time being, Luna will be available in the mainland US. It is not yet available in Hawaii, Alaska, or US territories.
