Amazon Luna Bids Farewell to Third-Party Stores: No More Individual Game Purchases, Only Subscriptions
Amazon Luna Bids Farewell to Third-Party Stores
Amazon has initiated a profound review of its cloud gaming platform, Luna, with changes already active since April 10, 2026. A precise schedule redefines access, catalogs, and ways to engage with content. This transformation involves the entire ecosystem of the service and includes the complete elimination of single video game sales and the exit of third-party stores. It will no longer be possible to purchase titles through Luna or link external libraries from platforms like EA Play, Ubisoft Connect, and GOG.
One of the most significant changes concerns previously purchased content. Games bought individually will remain accessible for streaming only until June 10, 2026. After this date, these titles will no longer be usable through Luna but will remain available through the original stores linked to users' accounts.
Amazon confirms that no refunds are planned for purchases made, except for exceptions related to standard digital content policies. Save data can be downloaded within 90 days from expiration, but compatibility will depend on individual publishers.
The removal of the "Bring Your Library" feature represents another key step. This option allowed users to stream titles already owned on external platforms. Starting in June, this integration will also be completely disabled.
As of April 10, 2026, it will no longer be possible to subscribe to Ubisoft+ and Jackbox through Luna. Active users will be able to continue using the service until the end of their billing cycle, with a final renewal available before automatic cancellation. Those wishing to maintain access to these contents must subscribe directly on the respective official platforms.
From this point on, users will only rely on the two plans offered by the service, namely Luna Standard and Luna Premium. According to the official statement, this maneuver better meets users' demands for a clearer and more accessible offering accompanied by a constant rotation of content without the need for purchase.
Of course, this unfortunately also imposes a somewhat less varied amount of content at least for the moment. However, Amazon plans to expand the catalog over time, although much will depend on individual publishers.
