Amazon has added Madden NFL 27 and NBA THE RUN to its Luna cloud-gaming platform, with streaming beginning November 5, 2026. Both titles are offered as Deluxe Edition content on Luna and can be accessed by eligible Prime members.
Why it matters
The addition pairs video-game play with Amazon's live-sports programming on Prime Video, aiming to move viewers from watching sports to playing them within one subscription. The move gives Prime members another way to engage with professional sports without a separate console purchase.
Luna's streaming requirements call for a stable connection of at least 10 Mbps for 1080p play, with access limited to eligible Prime members in regions where Luna is available. The source does not disclose subscriber numbers or usage figures for either title on the platform.

The details
Madden NFL 27, released August 13, 2026, includes a Persona Engine that shapes player behavior in Franchise mode and dynamic weather that can change during matches. NBA THE RUN, launched in June 2026, is a three-on-three street-basketball game with solo and squad online knockout tournaments, and a September 2026 update added an offline Practice Mode.

Timeline
August 13, 2026: Madden NFL 27 originally released.
June 2026: NBA THE RUN launched.

Market Landscape
The additions extend Amazon's Luna Prime-included lineup with two sports titles, a model that bundles cloud-streamed games into an existing subscription rather than selling them separately. The move positions Luna alongside Amazon's live-sports push on Prime Video within a single ecosystem.
Prime members in supported regions can stream both titles on a compatible device with a controller and a connection of at least 10 Mbps for 1080p play. Access to the Deluxe Edition content depends on an eligible Prime membership and Luna availability where the viewer lives.
The takeaway
Before signing up, check whether your Prime membership, region, device and internet speed meet Luna's requirements so you can start playing as soon as streaming opens on November 5. Confirm your connection can sustain at least 10 Mbps for the best 1080p experience.
What happens next
Luna begins streaming Madden NFL 27 and NBA THE RUN on November 5, 2026, and the Madden film is scheduled on Prime Video on November 18, 2026.
