With Amazon delving into online gaming, there is genuine excitement about what may become of it. After the 2020 announcement, we can say there has been real progress with Amazon Luna.

But like all tech, it is not always beds and roses for users. It may act up once in a while.

So, in this article, we look at this new video game service and tell you what to do when Amazon Luna is not working.

What is Luna and how does it work?

Luna is a cloud gaming program that has been divided into several optional channels. Except for Prime members, Amazon Luna channels require a fee for access.

You may choose from the Prime Gaming Channel, Luna+, Ubisoft+, Family Channel, and Jackbox Games Channel.

What is needed for Amazon Luna?

You will need a compatible device, a good internet connection, and a robust Amazon Luna browser.

We recommend using the Opera GX browser. This is the first gaming browser and includes all the latest and coolest features a gamer might need. There are easy one-click integrations with Twitch and tons of themes and sound effects perfect for gaming.
