Less than two years ago, we covered how Amazon was expanding Luna’s appeal through a partnership with GOG, letting players stream their DRM-free libraries through the cloud. That feature is now going away, along with a lot of other things that made Luna feel like it was trying to be a real platform.
Starting today, Amazon Luna will no longer offer game stores, individual game purchases, or third-party subscriptions. If you bought games on Luna through EA, GOG, or Ubisoft storefronts, those titles will remain playable through June 10, after which they’ll be removed from the service. The Bring Your Own Library feature, which let players stream supported games they already owned on other platforms, is also being discontinued. Ubisoft+ and Jackbox Games subscriptions purchased through Luna will be cancelled after one final billing cycle.
The silver lining, if you can call it that, is that games purchased through Luna’s third-party stores should still be accessible through those platforms directly. EA titles will be on the EA App, GOG games through GOG Galaxy, and Ubisoft titles through Ubisoft Connect. Save data will be available to download for 90 days after June 10, though Amazon warns that compatibility with other platforms isn’t guaranteed and varies by game.
Amazon’s messaging frames this as a shift toward Luna Premium, its curated subscription library included with Prime. The company says player feedback pointed toward wanting more social experiences and a steady flow of new content rather than individual purchases. Eligible users will receive an email on or after June 10 with details on a complimentary Luna Premium offer.
It’s hard not to see this as Amazon pulling back on its ambitions for Luna as a broader gaming platform. The service never quite found its footing against Xbox Cloud Gaming and GeForce Now, and stripping out game purchases and third-party integrations makes it feel more like a perk bundled with Prime than a standalone destination. If you have games or save data on Luna, now is the time to make sure everything is backed up before the June 10 deadline.
