Software e Controller
Alongside the software, Amazon built a low-latency, Alexa-enabled Luna controller, and it’ll be available for $49.99 during early access. Instead of communicating with the screen like a traditional Bluetooth controller, the Luna gamepad connects directly to the cloud, a move that Amazon says minimizes latency by 20 to 30 milliseconds. (This is reminiscent of the technology behind Google’s Stadia controller.) Bluetooth gamepads will function with Luna as well.
The controller also features an Alexa button, which, when held down, allows users to boot up specific games via voice commands.
Servizio e Subscription
With Luna, Amazon is targeting cloud gaming at up to 4K and 60fps, though initially, the service will be capped at 1080p and 60fps, Luna head of engineering and technology George Tsipolitis said. Amazon recommends internet speeds of 10 Mbps for 1080p, or 35 Mbps for 4K.
Luna is a subscription service, though it’s not exactly a one-stop shopping experience. Access to the baseline Luna experience, Luna+, is $5.99 a month, and this channel will feature a broad selection of games from various developers. By the end of early access, Amazon is aiming to have around 50 games in Luna+, including Control, Resident Evil 7, Tacoma, Metro Exodus and The Sexy Brutale.
Subscribers will have the option to pay more for additional channels, each of which will support curated or publisher-specific games. The first publisher on the Luna train is Ubisoft, and its channel will have around 50 games in early access, including same-day releases of upcoming titles like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Far Cry 6 and Immortals Fenyx Rising.
Though Luna will be available on iPhones and iPads from day one, it’s not a native iOS app. Luna is a progressive web application, meaning it’s technically a browser-based program that only looks like a standard app. With Luna as a PWA, Amazon is bypassing Apple’s App Store rules and fees — again.
