Amazon’s Luna cloud gaming service doesn’t get nearly as much attention compared toXbox Cloud Gaming, but that might change soon.
This means if you have anAmazon Fire TV Stick, you’re able to now play these games without a console, thanks to Luna cloud gaming. You only need a wireless controller and a Luna+ subscription, which costs $10 monthly.
“Our teams are focused on building experiences that entertain and engage EA’s massive online communities, and we’re excited to partner with Amazon to make those games available to even more people,” said David Tinson, EVP and chief experiences officer at EA, in a press release.

YouTube Premium has become so valuable to me that it’s hard to imagine parting with it.
Amazon really wants Luna to succeed
Luna is expanding to more countries
If you’ve forgotten about Amazon Luna, you’re not alone. The cloud streaming service first launched in the US in 2022, but it isn’t available globally. It has expanded to more countries over time, including Canada, France, Germany and the UK. Now, Amazon has announced Luna is expanding to Sweden, Portugal, Belgium and Luxembourg.
Amazon’s multi-year deal with EA signals that it really wants Luna to grow, and that it’s not giving up on cloud gaming just yet. Google famously shuttered its cloud gaming service, Google Stadia, in 2022. Microsoft has been pushing cloud gaming more recently as well, with its marketing push that anything can be an Xbox thanks to its Xbox Cloud Gaming service that comes with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. If you have an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max, you play games on the cloud through the Xbox app.
In 2023, Ubisoft partnered with Amazon to add its games to Luna through its Ubisoft+ subscription service. Users can also buy Ubisoft games directly through Luna. Amazon’s deal with EA has a different approach. You can’t buy the games, but they can be played if you have a Luna+ subscription. If you have an Amazon Fire TV Stick or a Fire TV, Luna+ might be worth giving a try for a month to see if you like it. Luna+ is also accessible on Fire Tablets, PC, and Mac. You can also access Luna from select Samsung and LG smart TVs.
