GOG, CD Projekt's PC storefront, will be teaming up with Amazon to allow you to play their games on Luna, their cloud streaming service. GOG is best known for making their games DRM-free, and this deal won't change that, but it will allow players to game on the go if they're away from their main rig or their PC isn't powerful enough for the game.
Any game that you own on GOG will also be playable on Luna, assuming that it's also available on the latter. You'll also be able to buy a game on Luna's marketplace and that will make it available on your GOG account as well. Luna is currently available in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain. No release date was given for when this colaboration will go live.
Quote From GOG Soon, you’ll be able to play your favorite games from GOG, like the Witcher series or Cyberpunk 2077, on multiple devices of your choice. We’re teaming up with Amazon Luna cloud gaming service to give you even more ways of enjoying your titles, while still keeping our mission of DRM-free gaming.
Let’s dive into it and take a look at how it works!
What exactly is Amazon Luna?
It is a cloud gaming service developed and operated by Amazon. The service first launched in March 2022 in the United States, and then spread its reach to other countries last year, with availability in the USA, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain.
Luna works by streaming games from cloud servers and runs on Amazon’s powerful cloud computing service Amazon Web Services (AWS). And what it means is that it allows its customers to enjoy gaming on the go, on the couch, or anywhere else you have an internet connection.
No lengthy downloads or updates, no need for an expensive gaming PC, complicated setup, or heavy computer processing – just pure joy of running your games on a device of your choice in high-quality.

But how does it work and what about the DRM-free aspect?
Now that’s the best part. On Luna you’ll be able to play every game that you already own on GOG (and that is also available on Luna). There’s absolutely no requirement to purchase anything twice – you bought it once on our platform so it’s always yours, as always.
Moreover, it works both ways. You’ll be able to buy games that are available on GOG via Luna’s client and they will go straight into your GOG library.
In other words, buying games on GOG (directly on our service or via Luna) will give you the best of both worlds – enjoying them on Luna’s cloud gaming service, as well as via offline installers or GOG GALAXY. All your DRM-free benefits of owning games on GOG will still be there, you’ll just have more ways to play your favorite titles.
And of course features of GOG GALAXY such as cloud saves and achievements will still work when playing on Luna – don’t worry about splitting your progress.
So, what’s next?
Well, if Luna sounds like something that you’d be interested in, head over to their website, and learn more about the cloud gaming service. Stay tuned, as we’ll share more updates about our collaboration in the future, and be sure that whether you enjoy timeless classics or modern hits, you’ll find such GOG titles on Luna soon!
Discover new ways of playing and have a great one!
