GOG, the game store owned by CD Projekt, is getting into cloud gaming in collaboration with Amazon Luna. Since the Luna cloud service streams games from Amazon’s cloud servers, you will be able to access the titles you’ve purchased from the store on any compatible device you own, including PCs, Macs, Android and iOS mobile devices, and Fire smart TVs and tablets. That is, as long as these devices are installed with the Luna app and you are connected to the Internet. You’ll also be able to use all Luna-compatible devices and controllers, such as Xbox One and PS4, to play your games.
In its announcement, GOG says you’ll be able to play any of the games you own on its platform, provided they’re also on Luna. The CD Projekt subsidiary confirmed that these titles include the Witcher series and Cyberpunk 2077, but you can check if your other games are available if you already have Amazon’s cloud streaming service. Note that if you find a game you want to play in the Luna client, you don’t need to go to GOG first to buy it. If the title is available on both services, any game you purchase from Luna will also appear in your GOG library. Your downloads will remain DRM-free even if you buy from Luna, and you’ll be able to enjoy GOG Galaxy features like cloud saves and achievements.
The collaboration isn’t quite live yet, and the companies have yet to announce when it will be available, other than that it’s coming “soon.” However, access to it will be limited to regions where Luna is available, namely the US, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain.
