After several years of waiting, Amazon Luna has arrived in Spain. He did it before the gates of Black Friday. Chance? It doesn’t seem like it, but the truth is that it doesn’t matter. All that matters is your answer to the following question: Interested in diving into the Amazon Luna offering with the best experience and saving you good money? If you agreed, this article is for you.

Before we get down to the nitty-gritty, just in case, a quick introduction to make things clear. Broadly speaking, we can think of Amazon Luna as the Netflix of video games, a subscription payment service that gives you access to a catalog of titles that run in the cloud, on Amazon’s servers, and that you can play without having a dedicated gaming team.

You don’t need a computer with a powerful graphics card or anything similar to use Amazon Luna. Since you don’t need that, you don’t even need a computer as such. The only basic requirements are good internet connection (minimum recommended speed is 10 Mbps for playback in Full-HD resolution and 35 Mbps for playback in 4K) and a device compatible with the platform we will focus on in this article.

Basically we are talking about games from streaming and it’s nothing new: Google already tried it with Stadia and failed; but NVIDIA GeForce Now, PlayStation Now or Microsoft xCloud still exist as references to the distribution model, which is now joined by Amazon Luna with one of the offers with different levels of access, which somewhat resembles the operation of Amazon Prime Video, which includes the basic catalog for Amazon Prime subscribers , which can be extended through additional subscriptions to other services.



These are the “plans” currently offered by Amazon Luna in Spain:

• Prime Gaming: If you are an Amazon Prime subscriber, you can access Amazon Luna for free, but the catalog of available games is extremely limited: only seven games, the most notable of which Fortnite, is what you find. Similarly, the quality of the connection will be basic.
• Moon+– is the basic subscription level of the service. It has about 100 titles on its account and provides connection priority. Costs 9.99 euros per month and includes a 7-day trial period.
• Ubisoft+: Perhaps the most interesting plan in its catalog, although it is also the most expensive. Costs 17.99 euros per month. Additionally, individual Ubisoft games can be purchased, although you still need to be a Luna+ subscriber.
• Jackbox games: a small, somewhat peculiar plan which for 4.99 euros per month opens the door to playing this short collection of games.

Finally, if you’re interested in trying out Amazon Luna, you must have it compatible devices. the list includes PC (officially Windows, Mac and Chromebook, although it also works on Linux) via web browser (officially Chrome and Microsoft Edge, although you know…); mobile, read Android and iOS, again with a web browser using (Chrome for Android, Safari for iPhoe and iPad) in order to skip commissions charged by Google and Apple app stores; and of course the Amazon Fire device, in addition to some models of Samsung and LG TVs in these cases also with applications.

As you can see, access to Amazon Luna is almost guaranteed for the vast majority of users, the only thing they will need is… of course, a controller to play. Like Google with Stadia, Amazon has released its own drivers for the Luna, and they look great without testing. However, it is not a condition to use the platform: You can use any controller you have that connects via USB or Bluetoothsame for mouse and keyboard for games that require these peripherals.
