Cloud gaming battle to heat among Amazon, Microsoft and Google
By MYBRANDBOOK
The recent announcement by Amazon on the launch of its own cloud gaming service by the name Luna, a kind of “Netflix for games” that forgoes the need for consoles or dedicated hardware to play video games. The platform comes with a library of 100 titles and users can play with a special Luna controller. The entry of Amazon will bring a stiff competition among the three biggies and marks an official challenge to the likes of Microsoft and Google, which have both recently launched their own respective cloud gaming products.
Gamers in the US were invited to request early access to Luna, which uses a video game controller to connect directly to games hosted at Amazon Web Services datacenters to stream play through Fire TV as well as personal computers.As per Amazon it'll be priced at just $6 monthly introductory price.
Luna now to compete with Microsoft's xCloud and Google Stadia in the video games play will be available in the cloud.Google's Stadia cloud gaming service costs $10 monthly, and Microsoft this month made xCloud gaming a free addition, for now, to its Game Pass subscription service at Xbox.
Stadia membership comes with some complementary games, but most of the titles in its library cost extra."It's day one for Luna," said Marc Whitten, vice president,Amazon entertainment devices and service.
