Amazon has announced wholesale changes to its streaming cloud service Luna, giving just two months’ notice that games and third-party subscriptions purchased before 10th April will be removed from players’ libraries by 10th June, 2026.
Up until now, players could link their Luna accounts to a number of subscription services, including EA and Ubisoft, as well as individual stores like GOG, and access them via Luna. However, Amazon is now removing this functionality entirely to focus on its own subscription services.
There will be no refunds for any “a-la-carte” purchases as “all purchases are final”.
Amazon says the change comes as it’s “always looking for ways to better serve our players”, and claimed “your feedback has been clear” in asking for “easy access to great games, more social experiences, and a steady flow of new content from developers you know and love”, which is why it’s now focusing its “future” on the content that is “available to Prime members”. As a consequence, the following is now in effect:
- A-la-carte game purchases are no longer available. Previously purchased titles will remain playable through June 10, 2026, after which they will be removed from Luna.
- Bring Your Own Library will no longer be supported. Games previously played in this manner will no longer be playable on Luna after June 10, 2026.
- Ubisoft+ and Jackbox Games subscriptions sold through Luna are discontinued. New subscriptions are no longer available for purchase, and any active subscriptions purchased from Luna will be cancelled at the end of your next billing cycle.
- Third-party game stores (EA, Ubisoft, and GOG) are being removed from the Luna platform.
To be clear, you don’t lose complete access to any of the games you’ve previously purchased through GOG or the EA App, but it does mean you’ll no longer be able to stream them via your Luna account, even if you’ve only played those games on Luna.
If you have signed up for a Ubisoft+ or Jackbox Games sub via Luna, it will renew “one final time after your current billing cycle ends” – presumably even if you can’t access the subscription on Luna – so Amazon warns that “if you do not wish for it to renew one final time”, you should manage the subscription through Your Memberships and Subscriptions. All existing subscriptions will be “honoured” up until 10th June.
Similarly, the Bring Your Own Library benefit has also been nuked, so you’ll only be able to access that until 3rd June, but you can download your save data for 90 days from 10th June.
“Save data compatibility varies by game and platform, and is determined by the game publisher,” Amazon explained. “We cannot guarantee that save data downloaded from Luna will work on other gaming services. We recommend downloading your save data as soon as possible and testing compatibility with your intended platform.”
Amazon launched a “completely redesigned and reimagined” version of its Luna game streaming service last year, too. It launched in the UK back in 2023.
