Amazon Luna Cloud Gaming Review: Hardware, Service, and Performance

When it comes to cloud gaming, Amazon has changed the game with the launch of its Amazon Luna gaming service. A few months ago, Amazon unveiled Luna, its answer to platforms like Google Stadia, Microsoft xCloud, and Nvidia GeForce Now. While it may just look like any virtual game console, Amazon Luna has a bit more to offer than its competitors. In this review, we’ll take a closer look at Amazon Luna’s hardware, service, and overall performance.

Starting off with hardware, the Amazon Luna Controller is completely wireless, so you’ll need a compatible Bluetooth-enabled device such as a PC, Mac, or Fire TV, in order to use it. The controller feels comfortable in your hands and has quite a few controls on it, including a home button, a microphone, an analog joystick, and a few more. It also supports voice commands, allowing users to easily access games and other features.

When it comes to the service, Amazon Luna provides users with a variety of features, including a game library that features a selection of titles, including some of the latest releases. You can also access and play the games available in the Luna store, which include titles from Ubisoft, Capcom and EA, to name a few.

Lastly, when it comes to performance, Amazon Luna performs surprisingly well. The streaming and loading times are generally good, and the latency is surprisingly low, which is great news for gamers who hate lag. There’s also a “Luna Plus” option that allows gamers to try out some games with faster loading times and higher resolutions.

Overall, Amazon Luna has proven to be an excellent streaming service, with a great library of games, intuitive hardware, and overall good performance. If you’re looking for a cloud gaming service that offers something more than what its competitors offer, Amazon Luna is definitely worth a look.
