With all the cloud gaming services already available, Amazon Luna may seem like just another load on the pyre, but some experts say it could be the “Netflix of games.”
What Amazon Luna MUST DO to be SUCCESSFUL
Amazon's cloud gaming service began sending out early access invites this week, just a few weeks after the video game streaming service was initially announced. Unlike other streaming services, Luna offers users multiple channels to subscribe to, giving them access to different games and other content via the cloud. Due to its unique approach to game streaming and its ties to Amazon itself, some experts believe that Luna could become the best cloud gaming service on the market.
“The last one to the party avoids all the mistakes their competitors made,” Adrian Higgins, software engineer and owner of Musician Nerd, wrote in an email. Higgins, who has followed cloud gaming quite extensively, believes Amazon is poised to take over the market.
With previous applications like Google Stadia and NVIDIA’s GeForce Now already live, Amazon isn’t the first cloud gaming software to hit the market. Other online game streaming options have come and gone over the years, with more notable additions including OnLive and Gaikai, both of which would later be acquired by Sony Interactive Entertainment.
