Amazon Luna to Drop Support for Third-Party Games and Subscriptions in June
Amazon looks to reshape its cloud gaming service, which has yet to catch on with gamers.
Amazon Luna, the retail giant’s cloud gaming service, will make a big change in June. In the same vein as Prime Video, users were able to bring over their third-party subscriptions and use them to play games in the cloud, but that all changes on June 10.
Luna will no longer support third-party subscriptions or games, according to the Luna support page updated on Friday. This feature allowed users to play games purchased from other online game stores such as EA, Ubisoft or GOG, as well as titles available via Ubisoft Plus and Jackbox Games subscriptions. Starting June 10, Luna subscribers will only have access to games available in the Luna library.
Amazon didn’t provide a reason for this change other than saying, «As our library continues to grow, more of that content is available to Prime members, and that’s where we’re focusing our future.»
What is Amazon Luna?
Amazon Luna is the company’s cloud gaming service. It went live back in 2020 to compete with Google’s now-defunct Stadia cloud gaming service, as well as Xbox and PlayStation’s cloud gaming. Initially, Luna required its own subscription, but it has since been added as a benefit with an Amazon Prime membership.
The Luna Standard plan that comes with Prime includes nearly 100 games, including major titles such as Alan Wake 2, Death Stranding and Hogwarts Legacy. Luna Premium is a higher tier for the service that costs $10 a month and comes with a bigger library of games that includes Madden NFL 26, Mafia: Definitive Edition and EA FC 26.
Luna is available for use on PCs, laptops, phones, tablets, Fire TVs, Fire tablets, certain Samsung and LG smart TVs, as well as Comcast’s Xfinity devices.
What’s changing with Amazon Luna?
On June 10, users will only be able to access games in their Luna library. They will no longer have access to games from third-party game stores or via third-party subscriptions.
What happens with my game saves on Amazon Luna?
According to the support page, game saves will be available for download 90 days after June 10. Accessing the saves can be done via the Settings page on Luna. Amazon does warn that the save data downloaded may not work on other platforms, and those users should access the saves right away to check for compatibility.

Encrypted Emails Are Now Available for Some Gmail Phone App Enterprise Customers
Android and iPhone consumers can now use E2EE in the app, but you need to be subscribed to Enterprise Plus.
We all love encryption. If you use Gmail in an enterprise setting, especially if your work includes sensitive information, you probably love it even more. Certain Gmail app users on iOS and Android phones can now send and receive encrypted emails within the app itself — no add-ons necessary.
Previously, Gmail users could only send emails via end-to-end encryption (E2EE) on their desktops. Google’s announcement said there is «no need to download extra apps or use mail portals.» Customers can simply compose and read encrypted emails on the Gmail app itself on their iOS and Android phones.
But not all Gmail consumers will be able to use the new feature. It’s only available for Enterprise Plus subscribers with the Assured Controls or Assured Controls Plus add-on. Enterprise Plus is a subscription plan, one of several within Google Workspace. Plus is intended for large businesses and other organizations and offers higher data security and client-side encryption, which the less expensive Enterprise Standard lacks.
Assured Controls and Assured Controls Plus are designed to increase digital sovereignty, data residency and compliance.

Google said the feature is designed to allow users to «engage with your organization’s most sensitive data from anywhere on their mobile devices while ensuring data remains compliant.»
With the new feature, Gmail app users can send encrypted emails to anyone, even if they aren’t using Gmail. If the recipient is using the Gmail app, the encrypted email will appear like any other email in their inbox. If the recipient is not using the Gmail app, they can still read the encrypted email and reply to it on their own browser — with the entire conversation remaining encrypted.
For example, say a Gmail app customer sends an encrypted message to someone using an iPhone with the native iPhone email app. That person using the iPhone will still be able to read the encrypted email and then answer back with an encrypted message.
Enterprise Plus customers can use the new feature now, whether they are on either the Rapid Release or Scheduled Release domains. To encrypt an email, click the lock icon and select additional encryption. Then create your message.
Business and organization administrators must enable the Android and iOS clients in the CSE admin interface in the Admin Console to grant access to their Gmail users.
Proton is an alternative for businesses and consumers
Proton Workspace, an enterprise solution that launched last month, also has end-to-end email encryption but with the added benefit of being based in Europe (Switzerland), which does have to comply with the US CLOUD Act and, thus, hand over data to the US government.
For the everyday consumer, Proton Mail has end-to-end email encryption and is available for free or in paid plans, some of which include bundled privacy and security apps, like a VPN and a password manager.
