Amazon Luna arrives on Samsung's latest smart TVs

<p>Earlier this year, the Samsung Gaming Hub (https://www.engadget.com/twitch-amazon-luna-samsung-smart-tv-2022-gaming-hub-app-150034012.html) brought Xbox Game Pass (https://www.engadget.com/xbox-app-tv-samsung-game-pass-ultimate-demos-120006339.html), NVIDIA GeForce Now, Google Stadia and other gaming services (https://www.engadget.com/samsung-cloud-gaming-platform-smart-tvs-streaming-020040703.html) to Samsung smart TVs and smart monitors, promising to add new services like Amazon Luna &quot;soon.&quot; Soon, it turns out, is today: Amazon's cloud gaming service is now available on 2022 Samsung smart TVs.</p><p>Samsung says that with Luna, the gaming hub now has more than 1000 games (https://news.samsung.com/us/samsung-amazon-luna-gaming-hub-2022-smart-tvs-smart-monitor-series-now-available/) available to play. Most of these games will require an extra subscription fee, though if you're an Amazon Prime subscriber, you already have access to a small library of games (https://www.amazon.com/luna/landing-page). Very small. Right now Prime users can play four games (Steel Assault, MYST, Control: Ultimate Edition and Garfield Kart: Furious Racing) included with their subscription.</p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>The selection of free with Prime games changes every month, but users can subscribe to additional channels to expand their library. Luna Plus, for instance, includes games like Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Mega Man 11 (https://www.engadget.com/2018-06-14-mega-man-11-interview-hands-on-e3.html), Ghostrunner and Resident Evil VII. Luna's Retro Channel has a collection of classic games, from Centipede to Street Fighter II. Users can also subscribe to channels featuring Ubisoft and Jackbox game packs, all priced between $4.99 and $17.99 a month. If you do subscribe, your games won't be locked to your TV: Luna games are playable on PCs, Macs, tablets and smartphones.</p><p>How well all these games work, however, depends on your connection speed. Amazon Luna and Xbox Game Pass both recommended minimum internet speeds of 10Mbps to 20Mbps on a 5GHz WiFi connection — and of course, you'll also need the aforementioned 2022 Samsung Smart TV and a Bluetooth gamepad. If you have all that, Luna's Free with Prime games are a great way try game streaming on your TV.</p>
