Anything from the Far Cry and Assassin's Creed franchises is just a click away from being streamed to you Fire TV stick, phone or tablet.
Finally, for a little under £4 per month, Amazon Luna provides the Jackbox Games subscription. A selection of party games is included in this tier, perfect for those that enjoy entertaining during dinner parties.
Ubisoft also provides access to several high-octane action sport simulators. Riders Republic, Trials Fusion and Trials Rising feature on the list.
The most interesting titles for simracers however come in the Luna+ subscription tier. Rally fans have a perfect opportunity to decide once and for all which is the best current rally simulator. Both Dirt Rally 2.0 and WRC Generations are available for Luna+ members. Racers will therefore be able to drive each game back-to-back in an attempt to set each title apart.
Dirt Rally 2.0's younger arcade sibling, Dirt 5 is also part of the subscription. Luna+ also gives access to fun racers like Riptide GP Renegade, Horizon Chase Turbo and Team Sonic Racing. Hot Wheels Unleashed, one game our friends at Overtake claimed to be one of the best racing games for the Ninetendo Switch also features as part of Luna+.
As aforementioned, games included as part of the Amazon Luna subscription model can be played simply from a phone or tablet. However, a special Luna controller is available for those looking to use the service with a TV. This will certainly be of use when flying through the narrow roads of Finland in either rally racing title.
