Introducing Luna: Amazon’s Cloud Gaming Service Comes to LG Smart TVs
Fresh off the announcement that Netflix would be expanding its current mobile gaming options to televisions, two more industry giants are teaming up to bring gaming to TV sets. LG Electronics is collaborating with Amazon to bring the popular cloud gaming service, Luna, directly to LG smart televisions.
This groundbreaking partnership opens up new avenues for gamers, allowing them to dive into their favorite games on the big screen. Starting today, Amazon Prime members can enjoy a rotating selection of games, including the ever-popular Fortnite, at no additional charge. PC gamers who have an Ubisoft account can also connect that account to play games they already own.
To get started, users simply need the official Luna controller, the Luna Phone Controller app (which is a free download), or another compatible Bluetooth controller. This user-friendly approach ensures that gamers can seamlessly transition from their mobile devices to the TV without any hassle. The alliance between LG and Amazon represents a significant shift in the gaming landscape, as two major players join forces to bring this exciting new experience to living rooms worldwide.
But the offerings don’t stop there. Several additional subscriptions are available for those interested in expanding their gaming library. The Luna+ subscription, priced at $9.99 a month, grants access to over 100 games including beloved titles like Hot Wheels Unleashed, Overcooked, LEGO DC Super-Villains, and Resident Evil 2. For those looking for family and party games, the Jackbox subscription, priced at $4.99 a month, adds popular options such as Quiplash, Trivia Murder Party, and Guesspionage. The Ubisoft+ subscription, costing $17.99 a month, provides access to some of the biggest titles in the industry, including the Assassin’s Creed, Watch Dogs, Tom Clancy, and Far Cry franchises.
This collaboration between LG and Amazon marks a significant milestone for the Luna cloud gaming service. LG is one of the largest television manufacturers globally and has been diligently working to make its hardware more appealing to gamers. In 2018, LG debuted its UltraGear line of gaming displays, which garnered significant acclaim. Building upon this success, the company introduced its first bendable 42-inch OLED monitor in 2022, designed specifically to enhance the immersive gaming experience.
The integration of Luna onto LG smart TVs is currently available in the United States, Canada, the UK, and Germany, on models from 2021 onwards running webOS 6.0 or later. Users can easily access Luna by downloading the app from the LG Content Store or utilizing the Home Screen Game Card on 2023 TVs.
The partnership between LG and Amazon represents a bold step towards revolutionizing gaming, bringing it to the heart of every home. By combining the power of Amazon’s Luna service with LG’s cutting-edge smart TVs, gamers around the world can now immerse themselves in an extensive library of titles, all from the comfort of their living rooms. Whether battling opponents in Fortnite or diving into the rich storylines of Ubisoft’s blockbuster franchises, Luna on LG smart TVs offers an unparalleled gaming experience.
So, grab your Luna controller, sit back, and get ready for a gaming experience like no other. Luna is here to redefine how we play, bringing the magic of gaming directly to your TV screen. Let the games begin!
