In their own words
Amazon Luna
Amazon Luna streams cloud games from AWS servers to devices customers already own. Luna Standard is included with eligible Amazon Prime memberships and offers more than 60 games at no additional cost. GameNight provides local multiplayer games; players can use phones as controllers by scanning a TV QR code, and friends can join remotely without an additional subscription. Player limits may vary by game. Luna supports computers, phones, tablets and selected TV devices, including PC, Mac, Chromebook, iPhone, iPad, Android, Fire TV, Fire tablets, Samsung and LG smart TVs, Xumo Stream Box and Xfinity X1 TV Box. Supported browsers include Chrome, Edge and Safari on specified devices, subject to version requirements. Amazon lists a minimum internet speed of 10 Mbps. Most Luna games require a controller or mouse and keyboard; GameNight does not require a dedicated controller. Streaming quality and latency depend on device, location, network, bandwidth and subscription status, and Amazon does not guarantee resolution or quality.
