• Amazon made a slew of announcements on Thursday, from a new cloud gaming service to a home security drone and a completely redesigned Echo lineup.
• Among the biggest reveals was the debut of Amazon Luna, a game-streaming service meant to go head-to-head with similar services from Google and Microsoft.
• Amazon's Ring also unveiled a new miniature drone that can surveil your home when you're away and its first devices for the car.

Amazon held its usual fall product launch event on Thursday, where it introduced major updates across its Echo, Alexa, Fire TV, and Ring product lineups. It also unveiled its long-rumored cloud gaming service, called Luna, which will works across all platforms when it launches.

Taken together, the announcements are a revamp and expansion of Amazon's most popular hardware and software products. The Echo, for example, has gotten a completely new look that represents the speaker's biggest design overhaul since its 2014 debut. Amazon is also staking out a bigger space for itself in the gaming industry as it seeks to compete with rivals like Google and Microsoft in the cloud gaming space.
