🚀Amazon Luna Ditches Third-Party Games and Subscriptions
Luna's Shift Away from Third-Party Content
TL;DR
Amazon Luna will no longer allow purchases of third-party games and subscriptions. Removed games can still be played on other platforms through EA, GOG, or Ubisoft accounts.
Amazon Luna is making significant changes to its gaming service. Starting June 10th, 2026, previously purchased third-party games will be removed from the platform. This move affects EA, Ubisoft, and GOG's third-party stores, as well as subscriptions to Ubisoft Plus and Jackbox Games. Active subscriptions will be canceled at the end of the billing cycle. The 'Bring Your Own Library' benefit will also be removed, preventing access to titles from third-party platforms on Luna after June 3rd. Amazon Luna emerged in 2020 as a competitor to Xbox Cloud Gaming and Google Stadia, allowing users to stream games across desktop, mobile phone, or smart TV. The service is transitioning away from certain subscription, game store, and a-la-carte purchasing models.
