Amazon Luna has added two Star Wars Jedi games to its cloud gaming library thanks to a new deal with EA Games.
The company made the surprise announcement in a blog post on Medium Thursday, saying it signed a multi-year agreement EA Games to bring its titles to the cloud streaming service, starting with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and Dead Space. Luna+ subscribers can access those games now, but more EA games coming soon, including some EA Sports titles.

“Our teams are focused on building experiences that entertain and engage EA’s massive online communities, and we’re excited to partner with Amazon to make those games available to even more people,” David Tinson, EVP and Chief Experiences Officer at EA Games, said. “We look forward to a selection of EA games joining Amazon Luna, offering new ways for players and fans to come together across a variety of devices they already own, wherever they are.”
In addition to adding the two Star Wars Jedi games and Dead Space, Amazon Luna is also expanding its service to Amazon Prime members in Sweden, Belgium, Luxembourg and Portugal. Prime subscribers in those regions now have access to over 300 games at no additional cost to them, including Sonic Frontiers, Sonic Mania, Fortnite, LEGO Fortnite, A Plague Tale: Requiem, Cuphead, and Rocket Racing. In addition to Luna, they’ll also have access to free monthly games via Prime Gaming, including Overcooked! 2, Spitlings, The Jackbox Party Pack 3, and Strange Horticulture— all of which are available until March 31.
If they choose to subscribe to Luna+, they can also play the aforementioned EA Games titles. They can also link their Luna accounts to Ubisoft+, GOG, and Jackbox Games to hundreds more games, from Assassin’s Creed to The Witcher. The only caveat to this expansion is, while the Luna Controller will be sold at the discounted price of €45 ($48), Portugal won’t get it until later this year.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and Dead Space are available on every platform Amazon Luna is streaming on.

These underrated 16-bit classics just got new life on Nintendo Switch
There is no shortage of all-time greats to choose from when seeking out a new 16-bit platformer to play. SNES and Sega Genesis classics like Super Mario World, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and Mega Man X are probably the first things to come to mind. During that same era, Contra and Castlevania developer Konami released a series of platformers that rivaled those greats but didn't get as much recognition as they deserved. Now, these titles are getting a new lease on life thanks to a collection that launched earlier this month on PC, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch.
I'm talking about Rocket Knight Adventures, a 1993 release on the Sega Genesis, as well as its follow-ups on Genesis and SNES, separate titles both named Sparkster. These 2D platformers put players in control of an opossum named Sparkster, who wears a suit of armor with a rocket strapped to its back. These games aren't as widely remembered as many of their peers but are well worth the time of any platformer fan, so they are definitely worth checking out now through Limited Run Games and Konami's Rocket Knight Adventures: Re-Sparked, which came out right in the middle of Summer Game Fest this year.

Helldivers 2 just got some long-requested changes in its new patch
Players have been eagerly waiting for another Helldivers 2update, and now it's here, bringing with it massive updates to Stratagems, the galactic map, lobbies, and more.
Patch 01.000.400 released on Thursday, and the patch notes are quite extensive. What most players will notice though are the balance changes to certain weaker Stratagems. For example, the Orbital Gatling Barrage got an increased fire rate, more rounds, increased armor penetration, and a decreased cooldown time. The MG-206 Heavy Machine Gun can now deal more projectile damage -- increased from 100 to 150 -- and decreased reload time, although it also got a slightly decreased fire rate.
