Amazon Luna cloud gaming relaunched, with Prime Gaming merged in and a new AI game

By Liam Dawe - 23 Oct 2025 at 1:38 pm UTC

Amazon have today relaunched Amazon Luna, their cloud gaming service and it also merges in Prime Gaming with the monthly game giveaways too.

Prime Gaming is no longer a standalone separate thing, as going to Prime Gaming is now just a page to claim games on the Amazon Luna website directly. Still the same process as before though. If you're an Amazon Prime member, you still get the standalone game keys each month to redeem across various stores. Clearly though, Amazon are trying desperately to funnel more people into the Luna service with this move.

Along with the refresh, they've also launched GameNight. Their new set of social games where you can use your phone as your controller. This features games like Angry Birds Flock Party, Tetris Effect: Connected Party Edition, The Jackbox Party Pack 9, Ticket to Ride, Ultimate Chicken Horse and an AI powered game named Courtroom Chaos: Starring Snoop Dogg.

Everything needs AI now! As the Courtroom Chaos page notes: "Snoop Dogg lends his voice, looks, and personality to the generative AI bench to hear your testimony, ask questions, try the case and render the verdict". However, Amazon are clearly betting this AI game will pull people in, as it only gives you a limited amount of cases per day but you can pay for more. How generous of Amazon.

That's on top of all the regular cloud gaming with Alien: Isolation, Dave the Diver, Skyrim, Fallout 4, Fallout New Vegas, Fortnite, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege X and more playable in the browser (they support Chrome on Linux).

Luna cloud gaming is supported across U.S., UK, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Austria, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Portugal, Belgium and Luxembourg.

Has anyone been able to get a controller working with Luna running in Chrome on Linux? I have an 8bitdo Wired Ultimate (though I'm certain I tried other controllers as well), which used to work fine, but not anymore. The funny thing is that Luna/Chrome seem to recognize the controller since I get the message "Your controller is now ready" but none of the controls work. I've seen a few posts about this but unfortunately no resolution.

Do you have it installed as a Flatpak by any chance? If so you may need some permissions adjustments on it perhaps.

I completely expect them to throw in the towel on gaming and streaming at some point in the not-too-distant future. When that happens, Twitch will likely be sold off. It's all been doing nothing but losing tons of money for them, and they have made no headway into becoming successful as a games company. Nobody I've ever heard of uses Luna.

Your sporadic reminder that Luna exists and that you can continue to ignore it.

Good guess, but nope, just a regular deb installation directly from Google on Debian Linux, like it always was before it stopped working.

If anyone can confirm that a controller works for them with Luna in Chrome on Linux, I can continue troubleshooting my system - but it would be good to know first that it's working for others and it's not some Chrome/Luna issue that I won't be able to resolve.

I'm liking this article, but I don't like this article.

So, so sick fed up of AI. I work in cyber security and it's an absolute car crash there too. Accidents waiting to happen.

Ok, I don't get it. Why do they have Hogwarts Legacy, Indiana Jones, Kingdom Come Deliverance II and Dead Island 2 in Luna Standard? I'm actually considering launching chrome right now (because of course it doesn't work in Firefox)...

For anyone else curious here's the trailer for Courtroom Chaos [External Link]. As expected, it looks like crap and there's no way it would work as smoothly in practice. It's not novel in any way and the only enjoyment I could squeeze out of it would be to give Snoop really messed up cases to arbitrate.

Spoiler, click me

Also, Snoop guessed it was a dog cake and he was coincidentally right? This is how they market the game?

if you have ever tried to successfully stream using Moonlight/Sunshine or Artemus/Apollo for andriod i don't see much point in a lot of these streaming cloud gaming services. If you use something like tailscale (easy home routing to your external devices using wireguard) you can even play your games from your home PC or well anything that runs on your PC.

i know there are really technically uninterested / illiterate people who you could say would use this but id imagine mobile gaming or a handheld like a switch caters for those individuals. Even a steamdeck is a very low bar of entry to play thousands of games without a subscription with insane games discounts.

im sure someone will come in and correct me shortly, it must be useful to someone right ? like google stadia.

I'm not really up on pop culture . . . does Snoop Dogg have a personality?
