Weve come a long way since the days of arcades.

Unfortunately, theres no one best game-streaming provider.

Instead of offering a single price for everything, Luna splits its titles into channels.

(Yes, evenSuper Burger Time.)

A Luna controller is available for $69.99 that connects via Wi-Fi, which Amazon claims significantly lowers latency.

Monthly cost:$4.99$17.99, depending on the channel.

However, this performance comes at a price.

Stadia allows you to stream select games, either for free or in limited trials, before buying them.

The selection is also somewhat limited compared to the competition.

Instead, you’re free to use it to stream using your own hardware.

Theres also a work version available that includes management tools, but thats focused on productivity and media presentations.

PlayStation Plus Extra combines what used to be PlayStation Now with PlayStation Plus service.

Users can access a catalogue of up to 400 PS4 and PS5 games, in addition to third-party titles.

There will also be time-limited game trials in the coming months.

The current list of third-party games is much spottier, however.

We also noticed latency was an issue from time to time.

The price is somewhat steep at $30 a month.

However, strangely enough, you cant stream games to an Xbox console, which would be handy.
