Amazon Luna Ends Third-Party Purchases in Pivot to Subscriptions

The change concentrates Luna around Amazon-run libraries tied to Prime access.

Overview

  • Amazon Luna, which announced the overhaul Friday, removed EA, Ubisoft and GOG store links, a-la-carte game buys, and third-party subscriptions effective immediately.
  • Titles purchased through Luna or linked via Bring Your Own Library remain playable on Luna only until June 10, 2026, after which they leave the streaming catalog.
  • Ubisoft+ and Jackbox plans bought through Luna will be canceled at the end of the next billing cycle, with no new sign-ups available on the service.
  • Amazon is not issuing refunds for Luna game purchases, and affected players can export save data for up to 90 days after June 10 with some receiving temporary Luna Premium access.
  • Luna now centers on its Standard and Premium tiers and party-style GameNight experiences, which could leave streaming-only players without practical access unless they use native hardware or another cloud service.
