Luna, Amazon’s cloud gaming service, has finally been opened up to everyone in the mainland United States, with it available to use on the Mac, iPhone<\/a>, iPad, and other devices. <\/p>\n

\n

Originally surfacing<\/a> in 2020 and opened up for testing<\/a> in 2021, Amazon’s Luna<\/a> cloud gaming platform is now available for non-testers to use. On Monday, the service fully opened up in the mainland United States, enabling customers to sign up and subscribe. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Offering the same core service as other game-streaming platforms, Luna enables users to play games rendered in the cloud via a video stream to their personal devices. This can allow a highly-graphical game to be played on a platform that wouldn’t normally be able to play it, such as a PC game on a smart TV device or smartphone. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The service has a wide array of devices that it supports, including Macs, PCs, and Chromebooks, as well as select smartphones, tablets, and Fire TV streaming set-top boxes. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For Mac users, an app can be installed on any Mac or MacBook released since 2014 and running macOS High Sierra 10.13 or later. It can also be run via a web browser, including Chrome version 83 on desktops. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For iPhone and iPad<\/a>, Amazon uses the same technique<\/a> as other platforms to get around App Store<\/a> restrictions, by streaming gameplay through Safari<\/a>. Android users with compatible hardware can do the same trick, using Chrome version 86 or later. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
