Amazon Luna early access and price

Amazon Luna is quite different from other cloud gaming services such as Microsoft xCloud or Google Stadia. Users of this Amazon gaming service would not have to pay for separate games like Google Stadia or buy a game pass like Xbox Game Pass. Players who choose to use Luna will have to pay for channels, which is similar to subscribing to a YouTube channel. Once you pay for a channel, you will be enabled to play all the games listed under it.

As the gaming service is yet to be released, the US customers can apply for Amazon Luna Early Access through the official website.
