PayPalAmazon 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.

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