AMAZON is finally unleashing its cloud gaming service to the masses.
The Seattle tech giant has opened up access to its Luna platform, dubbed “Netflix for games”, to try for free in the US.
Previously, Luna was only available as part of closed early tests that required an invitation to access.
It’s now available on select FireTV devices without an invite, Amazon wrote in a blog post on Tuesday.
“Adding more customers to early access helps us continue to improve gaming experiences,” Amazon said.
“We are just getting started and hope you will join us in making Luna even better!”
Luna is a cloud gaming service that lets you play games with no console – by streaming the visuals over the internet, like Netflix.
The system processes game visuals at big data centres, so you can play games with high-end graphics on almost any device.
It’s up against a growing number of cloud streaming services including Google’s Stadia and Microsoft’s Xbox Games Pass.
Anyone signing up to Luna gets a seven-day free trial to the Luna+ Channel before monthly billing kicks in.
Luna+ currently comes with 50 games and costs $5.99 a month. Titles available include Control, Metro Exodus, Sonic Mania, and GRiD.
According to Amazon, users can get access to Luna on Fire TV by simply downloading the app.
Fire TV devices compatible with the service include the Fire TV Stick Lite, Fire TV Stick (2nd & 3rd generation) and Fire TV Stick 4K.
