Ars Technica reports that Amazon’s new Luna cloud gaming platform will use Windows-based servers and 320 Turing core architecture-based NVIDIA T4 graphics cards and NVIDIA’s GRID virtualisation drivers to help ensure the best user experience. As well as the NVIDIA TPUs, Luna will operate using a standard version of the Amazon EC2 G4 server instance and Intel Cascade Lake processors.
“Our goal is to make porting games as low effort as possible (for developers). We’ll support existing Windows games… [Developers] don’t need a new tech stack to port over. If there’s a Windows version of their games, they can bring them over to our service in short order.”
Oliver Messenger, Director of Product, Amazon Luna
Luna currently supports more than 100 game titles titles and it is believed that Windows support will help developers to quickly adapt more titles to the platform. For a more in-depth report on the roundtable discussion with Amazoooon, visit the Ars Technica website.
