Amazon have announced a bit of a refresh is coming to their cloud gaming service Amazon Luna, with new games and new ways to play.

From the announcement they said at some point later this year (they didn't specify) you'll see a "completely redesigned and reimagined Amazon Luna that combines innovative social party games with amazing blockbusters to make every night in your house the perfect game night to share with your family and friends".

The new additions will be included in Amazon Prime subscriptions at no additional cost. This includes "GameNight", a new social play system that doesn't need a controller, you can use a smartphone with games designed around the living room TV with people able to join by a QR code. It all sounds a bit similar to what Jackbox Games do with their party packs.

GameNight will arrive with a collection of social party games that will be added to the service including more than 25 multiplayer games that include "GameNight-optimized takes on favorites like Angry Birds, Draw & Guess, Exploding Kittens and Flappy Golf Party, to party‑ready adaptations of board game hits such as Taboo, Ticket to Ride and Clue".

However, they're also jumping in with more AI generation. One of these games is called Courtroom Chaos: Starring Snoop Dogg which they say is "human‑built" that's an "AI‑powered improv courtroom game where players invent outrageous characters, spin wild stories, and do whatever it takes to defend their testimonies before Judge Snoop Dogg".

They also announced a further expansion for traditional gaming. So for those of you who prefer bigger more normal gaming, there's something in the announcement for you too.

With this "all-new" Luna will it have "a diverse and growing library of more than 50 popular, classic, indie, and blockbuster games" including the likes of Hogwarts Legacy, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and TopSpin 2K25, Dave the Diver, MotoGP 25, Farming Simulator 22, and SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom amongst others like EA SPORTS FC 25, LEGO DC Super-Villains, Team Sonic Racing, and Batman: Arkham Knight.

See more in the announcement.

I'm surprised they haven't given up on this. I know of no-one personally who has even heard of it, let alone tried it.

I'm so sick and tired of that played out celebrity Snoop being in EVERYTHING. And then to take him and add AI generated game into the mix? LOLOLOL I mean it's just hilarious I didn't think there could be a lower effort project possible but here we are. Does this set the new bar for shovelware garbage?
They really want to get everyone in the world on Amazon Prime, don't they?

I've never met a consumer that wanted AI. Ever. The most positive thing I've seen written, or heard said about AI is a disinterested "meh". And yet the enterprise/corporate world seems to be tripping over itself for the tech.

So we have this weird dichotomy of big firms pushing AI and actually marketing it as a HUGE positive and then the actual recipients of that marketing are, at best, neutral, and at worst, actively turning their backs on the offering.

Absolutely bizarre.
What makes it more bizarre is apparently nobody except NVidia is actually making any money off the stuff--everyone's actually losing money hand over fist, the big outfits in the tens of billions. Seems like the tech companies and the tech investors were just desperate for a Next Big Thing and AI was the only one on offer, so . . . but it's a bubble. The crash is gonna be brutal.

@scaine
For the enterprise/corporate world, any means of not paying someone to do the work that AI can do in a short amount of time is a win in their books.

That sounds really tone deaf. I'm so tired of all the AI slop that is thrown into my face every time I go onto a big site, e.g. Youtube. The text that is translated very badly is one thing – it makes searching a lot harder than it should be, but the automatic voice translation that is activated for every video by default until I manually switch away is so incredibly bad. Jimmy Kimmel introducing Josh Johnson (“you know him from the Daily Show and his Youtube channel“) gets translated into “you already know it…” and “lift the cloche” on a food channel is turned into “shift into the next gear”. Amazon's translations aren't better if their store is supposed to be a positive example.

I'm going to keep as far away as possible from that game. Anyhow – how can it be “human-built” and “”AI-powered at the same time?
@ToddL The problem with that is, AI can't really do much work. I mean, it can make lousy videos and slop articles on the internet, so that does replace some jobs. But the whole "agent" thing just doesn't work. It's probably a lot less good at most actual work than the old non-AI "expert systems" approach . . . which wasn't very good either. Any CEO that jumps on the "I'll just replace workers with AI!" bandwagon is simply going to find that the stuff that needs to get done to keep the lights on at the company . . . isn't getting done.

Also to pile on: the recent nvidia openai 100 billion deal is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad. Like collapsing house of cards people are going to lose their retirements due to the market crashing bad. This is bordering on corrupt market manipulation IMO, but whatever. WHEN the crash happens its going to be so bad.

I for one welcome it with arms open.

Sadly, I guess at one point (maybe next year) Amazon will stop giving GOG/EGS codes and will only give you games to play on Luna.

The industry is going all-in with cloud and AI...

Who is this for? I assume Amazon is trying to get that Apple Arcade money. I know plenty of iphone users that throw away money every month on that service but don't even use it, and plenty more that do use and like what they pay for.

Game streaming is a solved technology. I played the entirety of Assassin's Creed Odyssey through project stream in 2018, it's a good experience for people without gaming PCs!(30mbps cable internet at the time)
And Xbox's cloud whatever-they-call-it is even better(I think it's using Mixer's FTL protocol), I played Fortnite on it last year over wifi.

I know this isn't an attractive service for the typical reader here, but normies don't know Luna exists and should probably give it a try.
