Fortnite is now playable on Amazon Luna cloud gaming — Free for Prime Members

Fortnite, one of the most popular games in the world, is now available on Amazon Luna cloud gaming in the US, Canada, Germany, and the UK. To play at no additional cost, you need to either be Prime member or be subscribed to the Luna+ channel, which costs $9.99/month and includes just over 100 games. It’s unclear whether Fortnite is only free for Prime members during May, as part of May’s bundle of free games, or if it will be free indefinitely, as I’ve seen reports of both. I’ve reached out to Amazon for clarification and will update this post if I hear back. While there are many Luna compatible devices and controllers, the best way is through a modern Fire TV device and the Luna Controller, which is currently on sale for $49.99. Update: Amazon says Fortnite will be free for Prime members indefinitely.

Fire TV Games ‘Machinarium’ and ‘Jackbox Party Packs’ are currently on sale

If you’ve been looking for a new Fire TV game to try, or you just have some free digital credit to burn, then take a look at these games on sale. Machinarium is an award-winning puzzle game that is similar to “escape” games where you need to figure out the correct combination of items to find and tasks to complete in a given space to progress to the next area of the game. It’s perfect for casual players and even those that have never tried a Fire TV game before, especially because it works well with just a Fire TV remote, so there’s no need for a game controller. It normally costs $5.99 but is currently on sale for $2.39. If you prefer multiplayer games, then all Jackbox Party Packs are on sale at up to 50% off. These are collections of games primarily meant to be played with 2 or more people. Each player uses their own phone to contribute to the game, so there’s no need for extra remotes or controllers. Remember, you can save a bit by purchasing Amazon Coins at a discount and then using those coins to purchase these games.

RetroArch, the very popular front-end app for emulators, is now available in the Amazon Appstore for all Fire TV devices, including Firesticks, Fire TV Cubes, and Fire TV Smart TVs, as spotted by Liliputing and XDA. RetroArch is not an emulator on its own, but it allows you to install numerous game engines, called cores, that can then emulate consoles such as NES, SNES, PlayStation, GameCube, Wii, and much more. While there are many standalone emulators that can be sideloaded, the benefit of RetroArch is that it provides a unified interface for all emulators in order to simplify the process of setting up and using multiple emulators.

Get 25 Classic SEGA games on Fire TV for $6.99 or less — Sonic, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, and many more

As part of the ongoing Prime Day deals you can get the SEGA Classics game bundle for $6.99. This Fire TV app is officially published by Sega of America and includes 25 different games. It normally costs $14.99 so this sale saves you 53% off the regular price. While this bundle of games has been as low as $4.99 in the past, it hasn’t been on sale for over a year so it’s rare to catch it on sale.

The simplest option is to buy 1,000 Amazon Coins for $9.00, use 699 to buy the Sega bundle, and have 301 coins left for a future purchase.
