Amazon is shifting its gaming strategy away from MMOs and cloud gaming to focus on party games, including an AI-powered title featuring Snoop Dogg as a judge. The company is leveraging its Prime Video and MGM Studios content, including the James Bond franchise, to create more accessible gaming experiences. This pivot comes after years of experimentation in the gaming space through acquisitions like Twitch and the launch of Luna cloud gaming.
