Amazon has relaunched its Luna game streaming service with new features like GameNight, a collection of multiplayer games playable via smartphones, and added new titles to its library, all available at no extra cost for Prime members, making it a more accessible option for casual gaming and parties.
Amazon has announced its July 2025 lineup of free and nearly free games for Prime members, including titles on Amazon Luna like Resident Evil 2, Need for Speed Unbound, and Hollow Knight, as well as free game codes for titles like Venba and others from various platforms, with more freebies expected around Prime Day.

Amazon Luna, the cloud gaming platform, has introduced a new feature that allows players to buy games, similar to Google Stadia. Currently, this feature is limited to select Ubisoft titles, such as Assassin's Creed Mirage, and works by purchasing a license linked to the player's Ubisoft account. This approach provides players with the ability to play their purchased games on alternate platforms, even if Amazon Luna were to shut down. The Amazon Luna Controller is currently discounted to $40.
Fortnite players have the opportunity to unlock the Velocity Edge pickaxe for free, but only for a limited time. By logging into Fortnite through Amazon Luna, players will receive the pickaxe as a cosmetic item. The promotion lasts from July 3 to July 19, after which the pickaxe may be available for purchase in the Item Shop. Amazon Luna is currently available in the United States, Canada, Germany, and the United Kingdom, but players can potentially obtain the pickaxe by temporarily switching countries.
Amazon Luna has added Fortnite to its cloud gaming service, joining competitors Nvidia's GeForce Now and Microsoft's Xbox Cloud Gaming. While Amazon requires a paid subscription to access Luna, Fortnite can be streamed for free with an Amazon Prime subscription. Luna+ subscribers can access the game as part of their subscription. Amazon has confirmed that Fortnite will be a Prime Gaming offer indefinitely.
Amazon Luna is now available on Samsung Gaming Hub in Canada, Germany, and the UK, allowing users to access a host of cloud gaming services, including GeForce Now and Xbox Cloud Gaming. Amazon Prime subscribers can access a small library of complimentary games, with additional titles available through subscription to Amazon and Ubisoft channels. To use Luna on a Samsung TV, users need an internet connection capable of download speeds between 10Mbps to 20Mbps and a compatible controller.

The subscription provides day-one access to new releases and DLC for Ubisoft's games. There is currently no inclusion in Xbox Game Pass for Ubisoft+.
