You can also now buy the Luna Controller for £59.99 in the UK, €69.99 in Germany, and $89.99 in Canada.

These are the free Amazon Luna games for Prime Members in March

Amazon is continuing its trend of offering free Luna cloud gaming for Prime members. For the month of March, those with a Prime subscription can play The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero, Get Packed: Couch Chaos, Mega Man 11, and Sail Forth for free. You just need a compatible device, like a Fire TV, phone, tablet, or computer to start streaming these games for free. Of course, having a gamepad like the Luna controller, which is currently on sale for $49.99, will make for the best gaming experience, but you can also use your phone as a controller. New games being added to Luna for paid subscribers of the Luna+ channel include Citizen Sleeper and Guacamelee! 2.

Over 50 games will disappear from Amazon Luna this month

Amazon’s Luna cloud gaming service keeps chugging along and continues to offer free games each month for Prime members, but the service is taking a hit this month. Cloud Dosage reports that the game streaming service will be losing 55 games through the month of February. That will drop the game catalog below 200 games to around 175. At best, this is just a step to refocus the service after recently removing the Retro and Family subscription options last month. Many of the games being dropped were formerly in those discontinued packages, but certainly not all of them. At worst this is a sign that Amazon Luna is struggling and may not last much longer.

Amazon Luna cloud gaming continues free access for Prime members with 4 new games

With other cloud gaming services like Google Stadia shutting down and recent layoffs taking their toll on Amazon Luna, the future of the game streaming service seems bleak, but Amazon Luna is continuing to truck ahead with business as usual. Nearly a year since starting the trend, Prime members continue to have access to a small selection of free games on Luna. For the month of February, Prime members can play Yakuza Kiwami, WRC Generations, Potion Permit, and SkateBIRD without paying a dime or signing up for any services. While this is the third month that SkateBIRD has been offered for free, the other three titles have never been available for free. Just fire up a compatible device, connected a gamepad or use a phone as a controller, and start playing in seconds. Last month, Luna arrived on select LG TVs and Amazon consolidated its Luna subscription plans, so the service is certainly not sitting idle. New games being added in February for paid subscribers include Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider and Sail Forth.

Amazon Luna cloud gaming is coming to LG Smart TVs

LG has announced that Amazon Luna cloud gaming is coming to its line of smart TVs. Samsung was the first non-Fire TV Smart TV to add built-in support for Luna when it was added last year and now LG joins the group of Luna-compatible devices. LG says Luna support is coming to its “latest TVs” but hasn’t specified which models or model years that entails. LG TVs as far back as 2020 models now support NVIDIA GeForce NOW cloud gaming, so, hopefully, Luna support will eventually be applied that far back as well.

Amazon to discontinue Luna cloud gaming Retro and Family channels this week

About a year ago, Amazon expanded its Luna cloud gaming catalog with the addition of a Family games channel and a Retro games channel.

Here is the list of the first free Luna games for Prime members in 2023

Amazon is continuing to offer free Luna cloud gaming for Prime members into the new year. For the month of January, Prime members can play Beach Buggy Racing 2: Hot Wheels Edition, Monster Truck Championship, Lumines Remastered, and The Jackbox Party Pack 2, which includes five different party games. Those first two have been included in the list of free games for Prime members in the past, but Lumines and the Jackbox Pack are new offerings. These Luna games are playable on most Fire TV models, computers, phones, tablets, and newer Samsung Smart TVs. They work best with the Luna Controller, thanks to its ability to connect directly to Luna’s game servers over wifi for reduced latency, but generic Bluetooth, Xbox, or PlayStation controllers work as well. If you don’t have a controller to use, you can use your phone as a virtual controller to give the service a try without spending any money.

Prime members can now play their Ubisoft PC games on Amazon Luna for free

Ever since Amazon Luna launched, customers have been able to subscribe to a Ubisoft+ Channel which allows them to play about 40 different Ubisoft games for $17.99 a month. If you prefer to purchase games individually instead of subscribing to a monthly service, you’ll be happy to hear that Amazon and Ubisoft have announced the ability to play select Ubisoft games you own on Amazon Luna for free if you are a Prime member. The game has to be among the approximately 40 Ubisoft games currently compatible with Amazon Luna. If you already own any of the listed games, you can sync your Ubisoft account within the settings of the Luna app to make your compatible library of games available in Luna. Any future purchases of compatible games from the Ubisoft Store will automatically show up in Luna. This announcement doesn’t change the ability for Prime members to play a selection of Luna games for free each month, as Amazon says that will continue as usual.
