Amazon Luna drops game purchases and outside subscriptions

Luna pulls back hard

Amazon Luna is ending third-party game purchases and external subscriptions, a sharp retreat from the cloud gaming push it made just a couple of years ago.

Starting June 3, 2026, Luna will stop supporting its bring-your-own-library feature. Then on June 10, previously purchased third-party games will disappear from Luna itself.

What users lose

The biggest change is simple: Luna is becoming a subscription-only service.

• Third-party stores from EA, Ubisoft, and GOG are going away
• Ubisoft Plus and Jackbox Games subscriptions through Luna are being discontinued
• The Bring Your Own Library feature is ending
• No refunds are planned for third-party games bought through Luna

Amazon says players should still be able to access those purchased games on other platforms, as long as they were tied to the relevant EA, Ubisoft, or GOG account.

Back to bundled access

That leaves Luna with the games included in its own plans instead of letting users build a personal cloud library.

The service currently offers a Luna Standard catalog tied to Amazon Prime, plus a $9.99 per month Luna Premium tier with a broader lineup. Current listed games include EA Sports FC 26, Hogwarts Legacy, Skyrim, Death Stranding, Alien: Isolation, Borderlands 3, and Sonic Frontiers.

Cloud gaming reset

Luna launched in 2020 as Amazon’s answer to cloud gaming rivals like Xbox Cloud Gaming and Google Stadia. In 2023, it moved the other way by adding individual game purchases.

Now Amazon says it is dropping those options in favor of models it believes work better long term.
