GOG teaming up with Amazon’s cloud gaming platform
While cloud gaming is very much not at a point where I want it to be the main way I play games, if I ever will, I do appreciate having the convenience as an option. Being able to play a game away from my PC can be handy. So it’s neat that GOG have announced they’re teaming up with Amazon to make select GOG games playable through theAmazon Lunacloud gaming platform “soon”. Sure, I might be tempted to take a nice stroll through Night City while slouching about with my laptop that absolutely cannot runCyberpunk 2077.
GOG will launch on Luna “soon,” they said intoday’s announcement. Then, if you have subscribed to Amazon Prime or Luna+ (a £9/month service offering a library of games), you’ll be able to play certain games you own on GOG via Amazon’s cloud gaming service. No need to buy games again, and GOG say your cloud saves and achievements will be shared across the two platforms. Luna won’t support every game on GOG, only those which have opted into it, so some of your GOG games may not be available. GOG have initially only confirmed the Witcher series and Cyberpunk 2077.

Luna previouslypartnered with Ubisoft, similarly letting folks play eligible owned Ubisoft games via Luna (or the Ubisoft+ library, if you subscribe to that).
Developers interested in enabling Luna for their games on GOG can sign upover here. GOG say all devs have to do is say yes then they’ll do the work to make it work.
While I have no interest in paying extra for cloud gaming, ah sure, I’ll take the option as an extra perk on a subscription I already have.
