Cloud gaming libraries usually get bigger, however Amazon Luna’s seems to be shrinking — for now, at the least. 9to5Google notes that the paid Luna+ tier will lose 53 video games in February. Many of those are older or area of interest titles you will not essentially miss, however that does imply shedding classics like No Extra Heroes (gone February eleventh) in addition to newer titles like The Medium (February ninth).

We have requested Amazon for remark. In a assertion to 9to5Google, a spokesperson stated solely that Amazon was “refreshing” its content material as a part of a aim to maintain its assortment “as contemporary as attainable.”

The difficulty, as you would possibly guess, is that this is not an remoted state of affairs. Amazon dropped one other 46 video games from Luna+ in December, and a few of these have been from well-known franchises just like the Yakuza sequence. CloudDosage studies the February cull will depart Luna+ with 175 video games. That would make it a troublesome promote if you happen to’re keen to pay for selection. Microsoft’s Sport Move and Sony’s PlayStation Plus Premium are costlier, however promise entry to tons of of video games (if incessantly from the again catalog).

The shrinking choice does not come at a good time, both. Google shut down Stadia simply final month, and that service did not bleed video games. Amazon’s platform will not essentially undergo the identical destiny, but it surely’s not coming into a thriving market — and people rivals which are left typically supply perks you will not discover with Luna, corresponding to GeForce Now’s 240Hz mode.
