Amazon announced that it’s bringing its Luna gaming service to the Prime Video app in twelve new countries. Beginning today, players in new countries across North America and Europe can play games via their Fire TVs, with a greater rollout planned through November.

According to Amazon, the countries granted access to Luna today are Canada, France, Italy, and Spain. In November, it plans to roll out the service to Austria, Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, and Sweden.

Luna in the Prime Video app is a tab that gives access to an evolving library of games, from triple-A favorites to indies to more family-friendly fare. Amazon first announced the rollout of Luna to the FireTVs in July, when it offered the service to users in the United States and United Kingdom.

The company first launched its revamped version of Luna last year, positioning it as a new, social-oriented cloud gaming platform available on its FireTVs and other web-streaming-ready devices. This includes a new service called GameNight, a suite of party games that can be controlled via smartphone.
