How to set up Amazon Luna

Luna's setup is unusual because of its 'channels' model. You don't subscribe to Luna — you subscribe to channels (Luna+, Prime Gaming, Ubisoft+, etc.). Most people start with Prime Gaming because it's already included.

Steps

  1. 01

    Open luna.amazon.com

    Sign in with your Amazon account. If you have Prime, the Prime Gaming channel is unlocked already.

  2. 02

    Pick channels

    Subscribe to additional channels (Luna+, Ubisoft+, etc.) à la carte. Most users find Prime Gaming sufficient for casual play.

  3. 03

    Pair a Luna controller (optional)

    Luna has its own first-party controller that pairs directly to AWS, removing one network hop. Worth it if Wi-Fi-only and you play often. Otherwise any Bluetooth gamepad is fine.

  4. 04

    Family share

    Luna+ supports two simultaneous streams. Add a household member from your account settings.

  5. 05

    On Fire TV

    Install the Luna app from the Fire TV app store. Native Fire TV experience is the smoothest — controller pairs with the TV remote pairing process.

Common problems

Luna unavailable in my country

Luna is region-locked and not all countries are supported. VPN workarounds violate Amazon's TOS and lead to account bans — don't.

Prime Gaming catalog rotated my favourite game out

Prime Gaming titles rotate monthly. Subscribe to Luna+ to keep specific games, or check the next month's lineup announcement on Amazon's blog.

Streaming UI freezes on Fire TV

Luna's Fire TV app occasionally hangs after long sessions. Force-quit and relaunch. Older Fire TV Sticks (3rd gen and earlier) are no longer supported.
