Amazon Luna is coming to Android, but only on some smartphones

While new consoles like Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X are launched, Amazon continues its still discreet climb into the gaming world with the Moon, which unlike its main competitors, does not depend on a physical device and allows you to play via streaming. Now, the service launched in October will finally arrive on some smartphones Android, shortly after it was released on iOS.

Just as Google Stadia and Microsoft xCloud, Amazon Luna bets on the fact that it allows you to play with any device as its main attraction, with the arrival of Android, the most used operating system in the world, this becomes much more solid.

The somewhat curious part is that the Amazon Moon is limited to only a select few and somewhat specific Android devices. For example, the service can be used on the Google Pixel 4a, but not on the standard Pixel 4, even though the latter is more powerful than the other version.

Few cell phones

In addition to Google cell phones, pixel (4XL, 4a, 4a 5G, 5), game streaming can only be performed on some models of the Samsung (S10, S10+, Note 10, Note 10+, S20 5G, S20+ 5G, S20 Ultra 5G, Note 20) and One Plus (7, 7 Pro, 7 Pro 5G, 8, 8 Pro, Nord, 7T, 7T Pro, 7T Pro 5G).

Hey @ TheCodeB00K, as Raghu from Team Luna explains below, you won't have to wait very long for Android support (or, like, at all). Play Luna with early access now: https://t.co/IU81kXZouU pic.twitter.com/aVDCbQcP64

Yes, so far only models from three Android manufacturers support Amazon Luna. Although it didn't go into details about an expansion, the company makes it clear that the service is still in a sort of early access, so it's expected to arrive on more phones.

There is also a geographical limitation, as Luna is currently only available in the United States. There, it can be used on this short list of Android smartphones, as well as on iOS and Fire TV, a platform that belongs to Amazon itself.

Well, if you are in the United States and have a compatible device (check out the full list), you can download Luna by accessing the service page in any browser and install the web application. There is still no forecast for when Amazon Luna will arrive in Brazil, but considering that the service is still undergoing testing, this should not happen any time soon.
