They don’t need to be Luna subscribers to play. Luna is available on Windows PC, Mac, Fire TV, Fire Tablets, Chromebooks, and web apps from iPhone, iPad, and supported Android phones. With Luna Controller talking directly to the cloud, there is no need for device-specific setup, making it easy to transition your game from one screen to the next. Luna also supports controllers like Xbox One, Playstation 4, and mouse + keyboard.”
