Each cloud service offers its own value and special abilities, and it seems that Amazon is working on a neat idea. Apparently, Amazon Luna is preparing a new “Family Channel” that recently appeared for some users.
Bandwidth is 9to5Google’s weekly look at the cloud gaming market beyond Google’s own Stadia platform. Every Friday, we take a look at the biggest news regarding services such as Nvidia GeForce Now, Amazon Luna, PlayStation Now, and Xbox Game Pass, among others.

Amazon Luna briefly teases a “Family Channel”
Amazon Luna is all about channels, each a different subscription that unlocks a different set of games. Apparently, one channel that Amazon is working on for Luna is called the “Family Channel.” This showed up briefly for some users last week, as documented by The Nerf Report, showing only one game in the E-rated game “Death Squared.” The “Family Channel” has since disappeared for Amazon Luna subscribers, but it definitely has some interesting implications for the future.
In other Luna news, Cloudy Games notes that the beta of “New World” is not currently available for cloud streaming but that the game has been spotted on the platform in the past.
