Today Amazon announced that it has partnered with the GOG game store to bring more than 40 titles to Amazon’s Luna game service. This gives Fire TV owners who use the service access to classic games and new games like Stardew Valley, Hollow Knight, and Cuphead.

With Amazon’s Luna gaming service you can use your Fire TV or Fire Tablet to play games on your TV. To make it even better, Amazon today announced that Ubisoft games like Assassin’s Creed Mirage are now available on the Fire TV and Fire Tablets with Luna.

To be able to play it on your Fire TV, you will need a game controller. Right now, Amazon’s official Luna Wireless Controller is sold for $69.99.

If you’re not already an Amazon Luna member, sign up now to get access to its massive collection of games spanning action, adventure, indie, shooter, racing, classics, and other genres. After a 7-day free trial, an Amazon Luna subscription only costs $9.99 per month and you can cancel at any time.

What else does Amazon Luna offer? Members can play as many games for as long as they want, and team up with friends and family. You can also link your Ubisoft account to play PC games through the Luna library. Games play at up to 1080p/60 fps and are supported on PC, Mac, Fire TV, Fire tablets, and Chromebooks. Android and iPhone users can download Luna from the app store or on the web.

You can find all the Ubisoft games now available on Luna on its website HERE.
