What the report says

DualShockers reported that Amazon has integrated its Luna cloud gaming service into Prime Video, giving Prime Video subscribers in the United States and United Kingdom access to nearly 100 games at no added charge. The new gaming tab includes Luna’s standard library and the GameNight collection of party games, with examples cited by the outlet including EA FC 26, Hogwarts Legacy, Fortnite, Tomb Raider, Fallout, Death Stranding and Skyrim.

The report frames the move as part of a broader change in Amazon’s gaming strategy. Citing an IGN interview, DualShockers said Amazon Gaming general manager Jeff Gattis indicated the company is not currently trying to challenge the established PC and console market, where platforms such as Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo and Steam already compete heavily. Instead, Amazon is looking toward cloud-based play on TVs and mobile-style devices for audiences who may not own dedicated gaming hardware.

DualShockers also reported that Amazon plans to add new games each month and expand supported devices and countries over time. Luna currently works on Windows PC, Mac, Fire TV, Fire tablets, Chromebooks, select LG and Samsung smart TVs, iPhone, iPad and Android devices, according to the article.

The development matters because it places gaming more directly inside a mainstream streaming subscription, similar to how Netflix has been experimenting with games tied to its own service. DualShockers said Amazon sees future opportunities in pairing games with Prime Video and MGM film and television properties, including upcoming work around Tomb Raider.
