Luna+ is nothing but a subscription offered by Amazon to take advantage of the library of games available on Luna. For a subscription of six dollars per month, subscribers will be able to enjoy what is available on the platform. Publishers will also be able to offer secondary subscriptions to provide access to their own games on Luna. This is the caseUbisoft+, available as an option at $15 per month.
Seven-day free trial… for US users
Concretely, this early access to Luna will allow everyone to try their hand at the Amazon platform. Especially since the tech giant is also offering a seven-day trial of Luna+ to entice its users and encourage them to sign up. Until now, to experience the Amazon Luna, you had to be on Amazon’s Early Access list or own a Fire TV.
As a reminder, Amazon Luna can be accessed from computers, but also on iPhones and many smartphones thanks to a web browser.
However, it appears that the Amazon Luna demo is only reserved for US users. If the show is well highlighted in the US version of Amazon, the French version does not. Logically, given that Luna is currently only available across the Atlantic before a greater spread to the rest of the world.
