Rogers expands Amazon Luna cloud gaming to all Rogers Xfinity customers


Rogers announced last week Amazon Luna cloud gaming is now available for all Rogers Xfinity customers.

This follows an initial launch of the cloud gaming platform on select Rogers Xfinity streaming devices last December.

“The addition of Amazon Luna to our world-class entertainment platform brings the future of home entertainment to life,” said Bret Leech, president of residential at Rogers, in a press release. “Customers don’t want to spend hours searching for content or switching between apps, they want to go from watching the big game to playing one seamlessly, all in one place, all with one simple voice command.”

Rogers Xfinity customers with an Amazon Prime membership, Ubisoft+ subscription or Luna Premium subscription can access a growing library of cloud-based games such as Fortnite, Who Wants to be a Millionaire and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and family-friendly, living room games like Courtroom Chaos: Starring Snoop Dogg, Clue and Angry Birds.

Customers can simply say “Luna” into their Rogers Xfinity voice remote, sign in with their Amazon account, and begin gaming using any major Bluetooth-enabled controller or their smartphone. No downloads or consoles are required.
