Anyone with a Fire TV in the UK is set to receive a major upgrade to its offerings, with the giant now including a host of games for free.
Luna, game streaming service will now be wrapped into the Prime Video TV app, with a dedicated Games tab now to feature on screen, alongside films, series and live sport.
Players will be able to download, install and run the games at no extra charge to a normal Prime subscription.
Only those with a will be able to benefit from the games rollout and it will not appear for those using the Prime Video app on a smart TV.
Luna launched in the in 2020, followed by a UK launch in 2023.
The game streaming service does not require any external hardware to play, instead running on a remote server.
It used to require users to download a separate app and login, but will now be rolled into the Prime Video app.
The Luna service includes a number of popular game releases, including Control, Dispatch, Fallout 4, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy.
The platform also has EA FC 26 and the GameNight party titles such as Clue, Taboo, and Ticket to Ride.
Games are set to be refreshed every month, with Amazon adding new titles to its selection.
You may need a controller for some of the games that form part of the Luna streaming service.
The GameNight titles can also be operated using a phone, and there is also a free Luna Phone Controller app – however some games might require or benefit from a controller.
Users can purchase Amazon’s own Luna Controller; however, Luna does also work with a variety of other controllers, including PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox controllers and various Bluetooth pads – so if you already own one of these you don’t need to purchase anything new.
For those searching for more games, a premium Luna tier is available for £8.99 per month.
Amazon is set to roll out the Luna integration to more countries and compatible TVs over the next few months, but further details have yet to be announced.
