Star Wars: Galactic Racer launches on Amazon Luna as part of Prime subscription
Amazon has launched the game 'Star Wars: Galactic Racer' on its cloud gaming platform, Luna, making it available to Prime subscribers without the need for dedicated gaming hardware. This move aligns with Amazon's strategy to reach casual gamers who do not own consoles or high-end PCs.
Why it matters
Highlights the ongoing shift in the gaming industry toward cloud-based distribution and the integration of gaming services into broader subscription ecosystems.
"Luna players can jump into the single-player campaign the moment it launches without needing to own a console or wait for a lengthy download," says Amazon's Head of Gaming
Developed by Fuse Games and published by Secret Mode, players on Amazon Luna will be able to play Galactic Racer's single-player campaign alongside its Arcade and Scenario gameplay modes.
Arcade mode features shorter, time-focused events with specific objectives while the Scenarios mode has different rule-sets and characters to race with.
The game will launch on Luna alongside other platforms including Windows, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
"We've always believed Luna players deserve to be in the action from day one, and Star Wars: Galactic Racer makes that a reality for the first time," Amazon's Head of Gaming Jeff Gattis tells GamesIndustry.biz.
