Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) recently unveiled Luna, a cloud gaming service that will compete against Alphabet 's (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) Google Stadia, Microsoft 's (NASDAQ: MSFT) Project xCloud, and NVIDIA 's (NASDAQ: NVDA) GeForce Now in the next-gen market. Let's examine six key features investors should know about this new platform.
Luna will feature separate "channels" of games. Each channel will offer unlimited access to a set library of games for separate monthly subscription fees. That approach will presumably allow publishers to maintain control of their own games -- a sore spot that sparked an exodus of publishers from NVIDIA's GeForce Now platform earlier this year.
Amazon has only introduced two channels so far: the Luna Plus channel and the Ubisoft channel, which will both launch with about 50 games.
