Cloud gaming is the future, it’s evident from how Google Stadia and NVIDIA are faring. Since Amazon joined the bandwagon last year in September with Luna, its cloud-gaming service in the early access program, things have been going well. Now Amazon wants to expand the horizons way past the invite-only model in the US mainland for now (except Alaska, Hawaii, and US territories) to lure in more gamers who are early adopters. For starters, it is going to come with the early access Fire TV services for users in select regions.
That means those who are eligible can simply download the Amazon Luna app and enjoy. The compatible FireTV models with the cloud-gaming service are Fire TV Stick (2nd & 3rd generation), Fire TV (3rd generation), Fire TV Stick Lite, Fire TV Stick 4K, Fire TV Cube, Toshiba Fire TV Edition, and Insignia Fire TV Edition.
You can now sign up to Amazon’s cloud-gaming service, Luna, on select Fire TV devices without an invitation. |Its controller is also now available for anyone to buy.

Amazon s game streaming service Luna is now available for select Android phones
While the 2020 gaming news cycle has been dominated by the launch of consoles from Microsoft and Sony, there have been notable developments in the cloud gaming space as well. The latest update comes from Amazon s streaming service, Luna, which is now available to play on select Android smartphones.
You don t need a separate app to use Luna just like on iOS, early access is available via the Chrome browser version 86 or higher. Another pre-requisite is that your phone will need to run Android 9 or above.
Hey @TheCodeB00K, as Raghu from Team Luna explains below, you won’t have to wait very long for Android support (or, like, at all). Play Luna with early access now: https://t.co/IU81kXZouUpic.twitter.com/aVDCbQcP64
