xCloud vs Amazon Luna – Who’s Best?

Are you a gamer who’s trying to decide between Amazon Luna and xCloud (Xbox Game Pass Ultimate)? As an active subscriber to both services, I can tell you that there are some clear differences between the two.

Firstly, Amazon Luna has a larger library of games than xCloud. While xCloud does offer some exclusive first-party games, Amazon Luna has a much larger selection of titles from a variety of developers. Additionally, with Luna’s subscription model, you’ll have access to a ton of games at no additional cost.

Secondly, Luna’s user interface is more user-friendly and intuitive. The layout of the service is easy to navigate and find the games you’re looking for. In my personal experience, I found it much easier to find and play my favorite games on Amazon Luna compared to xCloud.

Thirdly, Amazon Luna’s streaming quality is superior. I experienced less lag and fewer dropped frames when playing games on Luna. And with the Luna Controller, which connects directly to the cloud, you’ll have an even smoother gaming experience.

However, xCloud does have some benefits that Amazon Luna doesn’t offer. The ability to download games onto Xbox consoles and PC is a huge advantage for gamers who prefer to play games locally. Additionally, xCloud offers some exclusive first-party games that are not available on Amazon Luna.

So while both Amazon Luna and xCloud are great cloud gaming services, Amazon Luna stands out with its larger library of games, more user-friendly interface, and superior streaming quality. And as someone who has tried both, I highly recommend giving Amazon Luna a try. However, if you’re a fan of Xbox first-party games and prefer to play games locally, xCloud may be a better option for you. Ultimately, it’s up to personal preference, and both services have their own unique advantages.
