GOG Partners with Amazon’s Luna to Enter Cloud Gaming Market
GOG, a popular gaming platform owned by CD Projekt, has announced a new partnership with Amazon’s Luna to venture into the cloud gaming market. Luna’s cloud service enables players to stream games from Amazon’s cloud servers on various devices, including PCs, Macs, Android and iOS mobile devices, smart TVs, and Fire tablets. Players simply need to install the Luna app on their device and ensure it is connected to the internet to access specific games purchased on the GOG platform. Additionally, players can utilize any Luna-compatible controller, such as Xbox One controllers and PS4 controllers, to enjoy the games.
According to GOG, players can stream and play games they own on the GOG platform through Luna, including titles from the “Witcher” series and “Cyber 2077.” However, not all games from GOG’s complete library will be available on Luna initially, with more games expected to be added in the coming months.
In a unique feature, players can purchase games on Luna that are also available on the GOG platform, and the games will automatically appear in the player’s GOG library. This allows players to enjoy the benefits of GOG’s “DRM-free” policy, cloud archiving, and achievement unlocking features offered by the GOG Galaxy service, even if they purchased the game on Luna.
The collaboration between GOG and Luna has not yet been launched officially, but both companies have indicated that the feature will be available “soon.” However, this partnership is limited to the regions currently supported by Luna, which include the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain.
