Amazon Gaming Controller: Netflix for games

When I say Luna, I don’t mean the crazy Ravenclaw from Harry Potter, but Amazon’s cloud gaming service.

When will Amazon Luna be available in Germany? In April, Amazon’s cloud gaming service also started in Germany and there is also an enchanting ergonomic controller based on the Xbox model. It is equipped with 12 buttons, including one for voice control, because the controller can interact with other Amazon devices as well as cell phones, tablets and PCs. This makes your Fire TV remote control almost superfluous.

There are many connection options with the Luna Controller: Whether WLAN, Bluetooth or with a cable – you always have a low latency.

This diverse compatibility pays off: Start a game on your Fire TV or selected Samsung TVs and continue playing it later in bed on the tablet – your game will be paused in the cloud. As befits a modern controller, it works completely wirelessly, but can also be connected to your PC without batteries via a USB-C cable, for example.
