Amazon’s cloud gaming platform Amazon Luna is pulling the plug on its game store, individual game purchases, and third-party subscriptions as of today, April 10, 2026. Previously purchased titles will remain playable until June 10, 2026, after which they will be permanently removed from the platform.
The irony here is hard to miss. Just one week ago, Amazon was enthusiastically announcing new games coming to Luna for April, including EA SPORTS FC 26, Letter Trek, Smurfs Kart, and The Jackbox Party Pack 2 for Prime members. One hand gives, the other takes away.
What’s Changing?
Here’s the full breakdown of what’s being discontinued:
- A-la-carte game purchases are no longer available. Previously purchased titles remain playable through June 10, 2026, then they’re gone from Luna.
- Bring Your Own Library support is ending. Games played through linked third-party platforms will no longer be accessible on Luna after June 3, 2026.
- Ubisoft+ and Jackbox Games subscriptions sold through Luna are being discontinued. No new subscriptions can be purchased, and active ones will be cancelled at the end of the next billing cycle.
- Third-party game stores from EA, Ubisoft, and GOG are being completely removed from the Luna platform.
What Happens to Your Games?
After June 10, 2026, you’ll lose access to your purchased games on Luna. However, you can still access them through the third-party platform accounts you had linked at the time of purchase:
- EA titles: via the EA App
- GOG titles: via GOG Galaxy
- Ubisoft titles: via Ubisoft Connect
That’s at least some consolation, though there’s no ironclad guarantee every title will be fully accessible on those platforms.
Ubisoft+ and Jackbox Subscriptions
Ubisoft+ subscriptions purchased through Luna will renew one final time after your current billing cycle ends, and then be automatically cancelled. Those who want to keep the service can sign up directly through Ubisoft’s website.
Ubisoft+ subscriptions purchased directly from Ubisoft will continue to work on Luna until June 10, 2026, with no interruptions.
Download Your Save Data
Save data for affected titles will be available for download for 90 days after June 10, 2026, from the Luna settings page. However, as Amazon themselves note, save data compatibility varies by game and platform, and there’s no guarantee that downloaded saves will work elsewhere.
Refunds?
In short: No. Amazon states that all a-la-carte purchases through Luna are final and returns are not accepted. You can still access your titles through your linked third-party platform accounts, though, which is Amazon’s way of deflecting the issue.
Luna Premium Push
Amazon will offer eligible users a complimentary Luna Premium subscription. Details will be sent via email on or after June 10. Luna Premium provides unlimited access to a curated game library without the need for individual purchases.
Amazon’s strategy is clear: shut down individual sales and third-party integrations, then funnel everyone toward Prime-included Luna content. The company frames this as responding to “player feedback,” but the reality is simpler: they’re cutting the parts that aren’t profitable.
Stadia Is No Longer Alone
Following Google Stadia’s closure in 2023, another major player in cloud gaming is scaling back significantly. Luna isn’t fully shutting down, but the abandonment of individual game ownership echoes Stadia’s fate uncomfortably. The reality that your digital purchases can evaporate overnight remains one of the biggest concerns for gamers everywhere.
Luna currently offers full cloud gaming support in 14 countries (United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Austria, Poland, Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Portugal, and Luxembourg), with claimable-games-only access available in 10 additional regions including Australia, Brazil, India, Japan, and Turkey. How this restructuring will affect those already limited regions remains to be seen.
The digital ownership debate just got another log on the fire. Physical media advocates are having yet another “told you so” moment.
