Amazon has overhauled its cloud streaming platform, Luna. Prime members can now enjoy a selection of local multiplayer party games via GameNight, along with more games to stream and a rotating selection of others.
Amazon Luna will offer Prime members access to over 50 games, including GameNight, an evolving collection of over 25 casual, local multiplayer games designed to bring friends and family together in the living room. GameNight will feature titles developed by Amazon Game Studios, starting with the launch title Courtroom Chaos: Starring Snoop Dogg, as well as familiar favourites such as Angry Birds Flock Party, Draw & Guess and The Jackbox Party Pack 9. There will also be board game classics including Ticket to Ride, Exploding Kittens 2 and Clue. HandyGames is bringing three titles to the inaugural portfolio for GameNight: One Hand Clapping, Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?, and Stunt Kite Party. Players can access GameNight titles by scanning a QR code on the TV, with their smartphone acting as the controller.
"GameNight takes even further the idea of easy access that's core to the new Luna, delivering a collection of incredibly fun and approachable games that absolutely shine when played together with friends and family," says Jeff Gattis, general manager of Amazon Luna. "Anyone with a smartphone can dive right in and have a blast, regardless of their gaming abilities."
"Prime members are going to love GameNight and the reimagined Luna," says Jamil Ghani, vice president of Worldwide Prime. "Prime has always been about delivering exceptional entertainment alongside savings and convenience in a single membership. With the enhanced Amazon Luna, we're excited to make gaming more accessible for families to play together without device or experience-level barriers."
Cloud-delivered games are currently available in the US, UK, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Austria, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Portugal, Belgium, and Luxembourg.
Other games, such as Hogwarts Legacy, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance II and TopSpin 2K25 are available on Amazon Luna, alongside a growing catalogue of blockbusters, popular classics, indie gems and more. Games outside of the Luna GameNight library do require a controller, mouse, or keyboard to play. Prime members will find a monthly selection of PC games available to play.
"We know that 95% of Prime households include someone who loves games, but there's not always a straightforward path for many of them to play," says Gattis. "Luna is purpose-built to remove the historical barriers to gaming. There's no need to purchase costly, dedicated PC or console hardware. No downloads or installations required. And best of all, access is included within the same Prime membership enjoyed by more than 200 million paid members today."
In addition, Luna Premium is available. This includes everything in the Prime subscription, plus access to an even broader library of games, including EA Sports FC 25, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Batman: Arkham Knight. Luna Premium replaces the previous Luna+ subscription.
