Amazon's cloud gaming service Luna is opening up to more devices, including Fire tablets, Chromebooks and the new Fire TV 4K Max, the company announced Thursday. 

The company is also introducing a new channel, the $3-a-month Family Channel, which includes kid-friendly games like SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom and Garfield Kart Furious Racing.

"Amazon Luna is already available today to all Fire TV customers without an invitation and this week we're adding support for Fire tablets so we're bringing it to the full family of Fire devices. We're also adding support for Chromebooks," an Amazon spokesperson confirmed.

The service is also introducing Luna Couch, which lets you play Luna games with friends online -- whether your friends are subscribers or not.
