Amazon Luna, the retail behemoth’s cloud gaming service which launched in early access in October 2020, is now available everywhere in the mainland United States. Luna will offer à la carte subscriptions to five channels, and Amazon Prime members get access to a monthly rotation of games included with that subscription.
Luna, previously available by invitation only (from a public sign-up page), will also add two channels to its existing lineup of Luna Plus, Ubisoft Plus, and Luna’s Family Channel. The new subscriptions are the Retro Channel, whose lineup includes titles like Street Fighter2 and Metal Slug3, and the Jackbox Games Channel, which will also allow subscribers to invite non-subscribers to a multiplayer game.
Luna Plus is $9.99 a month. Family Channel is $5.99 a month. The Retro and Jackbox Games channels are $4.99 a month, and Ubisoft Plus via Amazon Luna is $17.99 per month (the same price Google Stadia customers pay). Amazon Prime, which includes Prime Video, free shipping and other considerations, is $14.99 per month and $139 per year.
Early Access subscribers to Luna can lock in their original pricing — $5.99 for Luna Plus and $2.99 for Family Channel — if they sign up for either service before March 31, and for as long as they maintain that subscription.
