Play Your Way – enjoy your GOG games with Luna cloud streaming

The ability to redefine your gaming experience and play GOG games on the go with Luna has become a reality.

www.gog.com

It's super simple. Luna is available in the USA, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Austria, and the Netherlands. If you're a resident of any of these countries just head over to Luna's cloud gaming website. There, you can link your GOG account to your Amazon Luna service, and if you have Prime Gaming or Luna+ subscription (with the latter granting access to more titles) you're good to go!

So, as suspected, this will require a subscription (either Prime or Luna+). Cool for those that already have Amazon Prime and a library of GOG games though!

Wake me up when this comes to Epic Games

I'm prime member so I can use this and this is a VERY GOOD news as I love GOG (my 1st store when I play on PC) but the selection of game playable is drastically small for now.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Cool for the six people who will use this.

 

[DavidGzz]

Nice, I always forget about the prime benefits. Amazon photos is another I forget about.

Seven people. You didnt count my grandmom.

Just linked it to my wife's Amazon account, hey I'll take a free game streaming option when I have down time in work.

I thought the initial promise was all of your Gog games. Guess I misunderstood.

Slightly amusing that heavy hitters such as CyberPunk or Witcher 3 are not available to Stream. You think you would want to make the best first impression and show some faith in a partnership like this. Unless they are already on Luna?

 

[Shadowstar39]

It's all modern games... Meh.. I can stream all that on steam. I use gog for games like here's of might and magic 3, Ultima 7, might and magic series, etc.. Games not on steam.

How do you get this app on the tv. I didn't see the app in the google tv store.

 

[Zathalus]

I keep forgetting that Luna exists.

You can't. Only Samsung and LG have an app, no Android TV which is pretty crazy.

They are waiting for room in the market to clear up. Unless Amazon go bankrupt i expect one more shot at gaming later on.

I have been trying and failing to get this to work with an LG TV and an XBox Controller.

the controller connects, but it triggers LG app shortcuts that pull me into different apps. It's unusable like that.
Do any of the seven people that have experience with Luna know how I can solve this problem?

 

[SScorpio]

Heads up Amazon has the Luna controller for $40 versus the regular $70.

Yes, you can just use a Bluetooth controller, but the Luna controller connects to WiFi and can send keypresses directly to the servers which cuts down on a few milliseconds of lag. You can also use it as a generic Bluetooth controller with other devices as well.

ok hear me out, With Prime you can play Fallout 3 and New Vegas for free right now, along with Thymesia. I also just linked my gog, ea, ubisoft and epic accounts and it didn't add much, but my free Luna library for cloud streaming is now like 30 titles I haven't played. Not bad actually.

 

[Dr.D00p]

Cant install it on my tablet.

Keeps sending me round in circles, I can sign into my Prime account, link all my game store libraries, but when I click on play now, just tells me to navigate to the Luna site in chrome and click on the 'install app'.

..except there is no option to 'install app' when I do so.

The only thing with GOG is that nearly all those classic games need some keyboard/mouse input - does anyone know how this works in practice with, say, Monkey Island on an ipad?
