Is there a reliable way to check when games are leaving Amazon Luna?

Hi everyone,
I'm fairly new to Amazon Luna and I'm really enjoying the service so far. However, I'm a bit worried about starting a long game, getting heavily invested, and having it leave the catalog before I can finish it.
Is there a simple and reliable way to check the exact expiration dates or "leaving soon" titles for Luna games?
Do these dates always show up on the game page within the UI, or is there a specific site / community tracker that keeps an updated list of upcoming removals?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Anyone has tips for playing Star Wars Galactic Racer?

Hey everyone,

I recently got a Luna controller and have been playing Star Wars Galactic Racer through Luna cloud gaming. I’m on a Fire Stick 4K Max, and honestly the lag isn’t too bad (hopefully the Luna controller helps with that), but I absolutely suck at this game.

I keep either crashing into walls or completely flying off the course. I swear I’m trying, but apparently my racing skills never made it past the early 2000s.

Maybe being 35 means my reflexes just aren’t what they used to be, but surely I shouldn’t be this bad, right? 😅

Anyone have any tips, settings, or general advice that might help? Is there some trick to controlling the racers that I’m missing?
Would appreciate any advice before I embarrass myself any further.

Thanks!

Luna streaming vs Local PC host (Moonlight/Sunshine/Steam Link) — What is your setup preference for games you already own?

Hi everyone,
I'm evaluating how to best handle my gaming setup when a title is available on Amazon Luna but I already own it on PC (Steam, Epic, GOG, EA, Ubisoft, etc.).
Since both setups end up targetting 1080p / 60 FPS streams on my living room devices (using a MacBook Air or ROG Ally as client):

  1. Luna Stream: Plug-and-play streaming direct from the cloud.
  2. Local Streaming: Streaming from my home gaming rig via Sunshine + Moonlight / Steam Link. My host PC specs: Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 32 GB RAM, RTX 4070 Ti 12 GB.

For those of you who have a capable local gaming PC and stream locally:

  • Do you ever choose Luna over your own home PC stream for games you already own?
  • How are graphics presets / visual quality typically configured on Luna server instances compared to running high/ultra settings locally on a modern GPU?
  • Is the convenience of not waking up/managing a local PC host worth any difference in visual density or input latency on Luna?

Would love to hear your experiences and pros/cons for both approaches!

Recent technical development / improvement?

I'm noticing less latency and smoother visuals....anyone know if the Luna team has been rolling anything out recently?

Appears on Luna on release day (to stream)?! Did anyone see that coming?

Seems good after 15 minutes, too!

Luna en Android TV: con audio en 5.1 se pierden los diálogos (canal central); posible máscara de canales de índice.

Buenas, he enviado esto a soporte de Luna, por si a alguien más le pasa y quiere meter un poco de presión.

No sé si en algún momento habrá app oficial para Android TV y este problema se solucionaría o si pasa en otros dispositivos.

Hola:

Quiero reportar un problema de audio en la app de Luna para Android TV que se reproduce de forma consistente.

ENTORNO

  • TV: Sony Bravia 8 II (K-55XR8M2), Google TV / Android TV 14
  • App: Amazon Luna, paquete com.amazon.spiderpork, versión 1.14002.0021.0-release
  • Audio: salida eARC hacia un receptor Sony STR-DH790 (5.1.2). También ocurre con el altavoz de la TV.

PROBLEMA Con el ajuste de sonido de Luna en 5.1, los diálogos no se oyen. Se oyen efectos y música. Ocurre en varios juegos; el último que he probado es el nuevo juego de carreras de Star Wars. Con el ajuste de Luna en estéreo, los diálogos se oyen correctamente, pero sin sonido envolvente.

PRUEBAS REALIZADAS

  • Mismo resultado por el receptor (por eARC) y por el altavoz de la TV.
  • Mismo resultado con la salida de audio digital de la TV en PCM, y con Acoustic Center Sync desactivado.
  • En la misma TV y el mismo receptor, el 5.1 en Kodi (DTS en passthrough) se oye perfectamente, con diálogos.

DATOS TÉCNICOS (dumpsys media.audio_flinger) Al cambiar el ajuste de Luna a 5.1, la app crea una pista de audio con formato PCM float, 48 kHz y máscara de canales 0x8000003F. Es una máscara de índice (bit alto activado) con seis canales, no una máscara posicional de 5.1. Con el ajuste en estéreo, las pistas de Luna usan la máscara 0x3 (frontal izquierdo y derecho). El hilo de salida activo es el mezclador principal, con máscara 0x3 (estéreo), y comparte ruta tanto para HDMI eARC como para el altavoz de la TV.

HIPÓTESIS (no verificada) Creo que la pista de 5.1 se declara con una máscara de índice en lugar de una posicional (frontal izquierdo, frontal derecho, central, LFE, traseros). Al pasar por un mezclador estéreo, el sistema no sabría qué canal es cada uno y el canal central, donde van los diálogos, no se mezclaría. No tengo forma de confirmar este mecanismo desde fuera de la app.

SOLICITUD Por favor, que se revise cómo la app crea la pista de audio multicanal en Android TV (máscara de canales posicional para 5.1) y que se confirme si hay una corrección prevista. Puedo aportar el volcado completo de dumpsys y probar versiones de prueba si es útil.

Gracias.
