After rolling out in the U.S. a year ago, Amazon is bringing Luna to everyone in Germany, Canada, and the United Kingdom, making it easy to instantly start gaming on select devices that you already own, including Fire TV.

 

Gamers in the U.S. have been enjoying Luna for the past year and we’re thrilled to expand the service, giving more customers the opportunity to play high-quality, immersive games without expensive gaming hardware or lengthy downloads.

The Luna Controller is now available in Germany, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
