Amazon Luna stops game purchases

Amazon Luna has stopped selling games and third-party subscriptions, and games people already bought there will disappear from the service on June 10, 2026. (amazon.com) Amazon made the change on April 10, 2026, ending Luna “game stores,” individual game purchases and outside subscriptions tied to publishers such as Ubisoft. Reports citing Amazon’s notice said previously purchased titles remain playable only until June 10. (thegamer.com) (shacknews.com) Luna is Amazon’s cloud gaming service, which streams games from Amazon’s servers to televisions, Fire TV devices, tablets, browsers and phones instead of running them on a local console or personal computer. Amazon’s current Luna pages now emphasize a rotating library included with Prime, a larger Luna Premium catalog and GameNight party games. (amazon.com) (luna.amazon.com) (amazon.com) That is a sharp shift from Luna’s recent pitch. As recently as this month, Amazon pages promoted the option to buy Electronic Arts games on Luna and to play Ubisoft games you already owned by linking an account. (amazon.com 1) (amazon.com 2) (amazon.com 3) The rollback also reaches beyond direct purchases. Engadget and 9to5Google reported that Luna is ending Bring Your Own Library support for games tied to Electronic Arts, GOG and Ubisoft, cutting off one of the service’s main ways to access games outside Amazon’s own catalog. (engadget.com) (9to5google.com) Amazon’s customer-service pages still describe Luna, in general terms, as a service that lets people “purchase” digital content, but the live storefront has been reoriented around subscriptions and included games. That leaves Luna looking less like a cloud game store and more like a bundled streaming catalog. (amazon.com) (luna.amazon.com) The move also revives a sore point in cloud gaming: what buyers actually own when a game is sold through a streaming platform. Engadget reported Amazon is not offering refunds for Luna purchases that become unavailable on June 10, unlike Google’s refund policy when it shut down Stadia in 2023. (engadget.com) For Luna users, the practical deadline is now fixed. Buying through Luna is already over, and the remaining question is how many players move their time — and purchases — to platforms that still let them keep access after June 10. (pcmag.com)
