Amazon Luna Purchase Shutdown

Reporting flagged that Amazon Luna will stop supporting game purchases and subscriptions, with games becoming unplayable after June 10 unless users act. (x.com) The roundup placed the Luna change alongside other platform shifts in cloud gaming. (x.com)

Amazon Luna has stopped selling individual games and third-party subscriptions, and those purchases stop working on Luna on June 10, 2026. (videogameschronicle.com) Amazon told users that, starting April 10, 2026, Luna no longer offers “game stores, individual game purchases or third-party subscriptions.” The EA, Ubisoft and GOG stores have been removed from Luna, and previously bought titles remain playable there only until June 10. (videogameschronicle.com) The same cutoff applies to Bring Your Own Library, the feature that let people stream eligible games they already owned through linked EA, Ubisoft and GOG accounts. Ubisoft+ and Jackbox Games subscriptions sold through Luna are also ending, with active plans canceled at the next billing cycle. (gamesindustry.biz) Luna is Amazon’s cloud gaming service: games run on Amazon’s servers and stream to a phone, television, browser or Fire device instead of being installed locally. Amazon’s current Luna homepage says the service now centers on a rotating library of games and GameNight titles included with Prime, plus a separate Luna Premium tier. (luna.amazon.com) That is a narrower model than the one Luna promoted when it let users buy or link games from outside stores and then stream them through Amazon’s app. Amazon now says it is “transitioning away” from those subscription, store and à-la-carte purchase models in favor of Luna Standard and Luna Premium. (gamesindustry.biz) Amazon says the games themselves are not disappearing from the publishers’ own systems if a customer redeemed them there. Players can still access those titles through linked EA, Ubisoft or GOG accounts after June 10, but not through Luna’s cloud streaming layer. (videogameschronicle.com) Amazon is not offering refunds for those Luna purchases, according to reporting on the company’s notice to users. The company will let players download save data for 90 days after June 10, though it says it cannot guarantee those files will work on other services. (gamesindustry.biz) The shift leaves Luna focused on subscriptions rather than ownership at a time when cloud gaming services have repeatedly changed business models. Luna launched in 2020, and Amazon’s current product pages emphasize Luna Premium and Prime access instead of third-party storefronts. (gamesindustry.biz)
