Comcast and Amazon announced today the launch of Amazon’s cloud gaming service, Luna, on Xfinity TV and streaming devices.
Xfinity customers using an eligible X1 or Xfinity Xumo Stream Box will now be able to play Amazon Luna’s collection of video games. Titles include Hogwarts Legacy, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Courtroom Chaos: Starring Snoop Dogg, and The Jackbox Party Pack 9 included with Prime at no additional cost.
Accessing the games is easy for Xifinity customers. Just say “Luna” into the voice remote and sign in with either an Amazon Prime or Luna Premium subscription to get started playing. Customers can choose to pair a Luna controller or compatible Bluetooth controller.
“At Amazon, we’re focused on making gaming more accessible for our customers, and this collaboration with Comcast allows us to reach more customers across the US,” said Jeff Gattis, General Manager, Amazon Luna. “Comcast’s reach and versatility makes it a great fit as we continue to scale Amazon Luna and its growing content library across more devices, more homes, and more players.”
“Xfinity is redefining what it means to game on the big screen,” said Fraser Stirling, Global Chief Product Officer, Comcast. “By combining our superior broadband with our world-class entertainment platform, we’re making it easier than ever for customers to jump into high-quality cloud gaming experiences like Amazon Luna – no console, no downloads, just seamless play on top of the best WiFi for gamers.”
Powered by Comcast’s global entertainment platform, Entertainment OS, Xfinity’s TV and streaming devices blending cloud gaming, live TV, on-demand content and streaming apps into a unified interface. Comcast says that its Xfinity network is ideal for gamers because of the multi-gig speeds and ultra-low latency for fast, smooth and reliable gameplay. Cloud gaming has grown by 30% on Comcast’s Xfinity’s network over the past year.
