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.
