Original Story 10/1:
Amazon's Luna is set to add a series of party games as the company looks to "redesign and reimagine" the game-streaming service.
Later this year, Luna will add 25 easy-to-play "GameNight" titles, accessible on your TV, streaming stick, and every other way you can access the streaming service. The games won’t require controller input; instead, they’ll connect to each player's smartphone via a QR code that appears on their screens at the start of each title, allowing everyone in the room to join and play.
It sounds similar to the popular Jackbox series, and Amazon's new trailer confirms some of its games will be included in the service. Quiplash 2: Interlashional is there, as is Jackbox's Party Pack 9, which includes five games: Fibbage 4, Junktopia, Nonsensory, Quixort, and Roomerang.
Amazon's marketing focuses on a brand-new title called Courtroom Chaos: Starring Snoop Dogg. Amazon calls it, “a human‑built, AI‑powered improv courtroom game where players invent outrageous characters, spin wild stories, and do whatever it takes to defend their testimonies before Judge Snoop Dogg.”
It also mentions new party-adapted titles from franchises such as Angry Birds, Draw & Guess, Exploding Kittens, and Flappy Golf Party. It will also include a new Tetris game and Garfield Kart 2: All You Can Drift. There are also set to be adaptations of board games, including Taboo, Ticket to Ride, and Clue.
The best part is that all these games will be available for free as part of your standard Amazon Prime subscription.
Luna will also give you access to a rotating list of single-player games. You’ll need a controller to play them, but they'll also be included with a Prime subscription.
Amazon is teasing access to titles like Dave the Diver, Farming Simulator 22, Hogwarts Legacy, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and TopSpin 2K25. The changes to Luna are set to launch later this year, but Amazon hasn't specified an exact date.
