News

Cloud gaming services such as Google's Stadia and NVIDIA's GeForce NOW have become well established, allowing you to enjoy them anytime, anywhere, even on various devices.
Since high-load games are processed on the server side, these services are a great way to enjoy the latest games even if you do not have an expensive high-spec device.
Amazon is joining the cloud gaming service that is rapidly growing in demand around the world !
Amazon has announced a new cloud gaming service called "Luna.

A cloud gaming service that can also be linked to Twitch

Luna is a newly announced cloud gaming service that is not that different from other cloud gaming services in terms of basic content.
The service streams game data processed on the server directly to the screen, so as long as you have a high-speed Internet environment, you can play a variety of games regardless of specs or storage capacity.
Amazon has been providing cloud servers through AWS (Amazon Web Service ) for some time, and "Luna" is expected to provide a stable service!

Luna is compatible with PC, Mac, Fire TV, iPhone, and iPad by installing a web app.
A dedicated Alexa-compatible controller is also planned for release, which will allow users to instantly activate "Luna" by operating the controller.
The reason why Android is not included in the list of compatible devices for the app may be due to competition with Stadia.

At this stage, it has been announced that you can jump from a game stream you are watching on Twitch to a gameplay on Luna, but it is expected to be possible to easily distribute gameplay on Luna on Twitch.

Not available in Japan at this time!

As mentioned above, "Luna" is available only in the U.S. mainland, and unfortunately, it is not available in Japan.
Stadia has also not yet launched its service in Japan, and I have the impression that Japan is slow in providing cloud gaming services.
On the other hand, now that Stadia is not yet available, we hope that "Luna" will be available in Japan when it is officially launched.
