Effective today, Amazon Luna is shutting down basically everything that’s not a single Stadia Pro-like subscription.
Amazon Luna started off in 2020 as a cloud gaming service that, for a single monthly fee, would provide access to a library of games that could be played across a variety of devices. Over time, though, it expanded. “Channels” provided more flexible subscription offers tailored for specific gamers, and later included third-party libraries from Jackbox Games, Ubisoft, and more alongside Amazon’s own core library.
The big news arrived in late 2022, when Amazon Luna partnered up with select game stores to allow you to play games you owned on PC through Luna, no channel subscriptions needed – just Prime. Fortnite’s addition was also a big deal in 2023, and Luna started letting users buy individual game titles that same year.
Last year, Amazon pivoted Luna to focus on local multiplayer – “couch co-op” or “party” – games.
Now, Luna is doing away with much of those added features.
On a support page, Amazon details that Luna is removing support for “Bring Your Own Library,” the ability to buy and play individual game titles, and third-party subscription channels from Ubisoft and Jackbox. Games you purchased will only be available through June 10, but the ability to link accounts or buy games has been removed as of today, April 10.
Amazon explains:
- 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.
It’s a huge shift for Luna, and also leaves the platform with only two options. There’s a rotating library of free games on Amazon Luna as a part of Amazon Prime, and a rotating library of games as a part of a $9.99/month subscription, the latter similar to Google’s Stadia Pro setup (RIP).
“Luna Standard” includes access to a host of party games, Fortnite, and a library of premium games that rotate in and out, with highlights right now including Hogwarts: Legacy and Indiana Jones and The Great Circle. “Luna Premium” runs $9.99/month with all of the same games in Standard, but more premium titles that currently include the likes of EA Sports: FC 26, Death Stranding: Director’s Cut, Overcooked, LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, and more.
Amazon will let players download their save data for up to 90 days after the June 10 cutoff, and will offer affected players free access to Luna Premium for some period of time.
