Amazon and Epic Games just made Fortnite available to players on Amazon’s cloud gaming service, Amazon Luna, in the United States, Canada, Germany and the United Kingdom. Amazon Prime members can start playing the game today as part of their Prime membership and all other customers can play with an existing Luna+ subscription or by signing up for a free 7-day trial of Luna+.
“Fortnite has been the most requested game from Luna customers in the U.S. and we’re thrilled to bring the title to the service,” said Daniel Rausch, vice president, Amazon Entertainment Devices and Services. “We’re committed to making gaming more accessible and more affordable, without the need for expensive hardware.”
Rausch said the addition of Fortnite is an example of Amazon’s curated approach to Luna’s library to ensure there is something to delight every gamer. “Whether it’s AAA titles, retro or classic games, racing games, or family-friendly party games you’re after—there is always something interesting to play on Luna,” he said.
With Luna, customers can play any Fortnite game mode like Battle Royale and Creative on devices they already own, including Amazon’s Fire TV, select smart TVs and streaming media players, a variety of tablets and laptops including PCs, MacBooks, and Chromebooks, and via browser on iPhone and Android mobile devices.

Luna customers can also participate in Fortnite seasonal events, play islands developed with the recently announced Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and link their existing Epic account to progress their Battle Pass.
In addition to Fortnite, Amazon added the following games to the Luna+ library in May: Tormented Souls, Retro Classix: Breakthru, Retro Classix: Express Raider, Retro Classix: Super Real Darwin, and Retro Classix: Wizard Fire.
Throughout May, Prime members can also play four games as part of the Prime Gaming offer at no additional cost, including: LEGO DC Super-Villains, Resident Evil 2, Overcooked!, and Time on Frog Island.
To access Fortnite without a Prime membership, you can sign up for Luna+, which includes a 7-day free trial. For even more games, there are Ubisoft+ and Jackbox Games subscription packages available for a monthly fee.
