“If we see that customers like something, we double down. We’ve optimized the web browser experience with all the features and capabilities offered in Luna’s native desktop apps, so customers now have the exact same Luna experience when they use Luna in their web browser. We firmly believe in the future of cloud gaming and will discontinue the Luna PC and Mac native desktop apps so we can invest more time and resources in innovation on behalf of our Luna customers,” said the Amazon spokesperson.
In 2020, Amazon Luna was introduced with apps for Windows and Mac. But now the dedicated apps for these platforms have been removed. Instead, Amazon Luna offers a dedicated app for that Fire TV and streaming devices. The Fire TV app is compatible with Android TV And GoogleTV also.
Users of other platforms can access it through supported web browsers, including on smartphones.
