Amazon Luna ends third-party game buys and BYOL, shifting to a subscription-first model

Amazon Luna will stop allowing third-party game purchases and remove the Bring Your Own Library option by June 3, 2026. It will also drop EA, Ubisoft, and GOG stores, cancel Ubisoft Plus and Jackbox subscriptions, and remove previously purchased games from Luna on June 10, 2026 with no refunds. The service will continue to offer a subscription library (Luna Standard via Prime and Luna Premium) and focus on broader gaming experiences within those plans.

Amazon Luna ends third‑party storefronts and BYOL access

Amazon Luna is dropping support for third‑party game subscriptions and the Bring Your Own Library feature, automatically canceling Luna‑bought subscriptions at your next billing cycle. Ubisoft+ subscriptions purchased directly from Ubisoft will still work on Luna through June 10, and games bought outright on Luna remain playable until June 10 (no refunds). BYOL ends on June 3, after which access to those storefront games moves to their native clients; Luna Standard remains for Prime members and Luna Premium stays available as Amazon pivots toward a broader gaming experience.

Amazon Luna Ditches Per-Game Purchases and Refunds as It Reboots Focus

Amazon Luna will stop selling individual games and third-party subscriptions, and on June 10 it will remove access to games you purchased through Luna with no refunds. You may still play those games if linked to Ubisoft, EA, or other stores, but otherwise you’ll need native hardware or another streaming option to access them. The move underscores Luna’s ongoing struggles and a pivot toward casual games behind new sub‑tiers, underscoring the risks of buying titles via streaming services instead of downloading or owning them offline.

"Amazon Luna Expands Game Selection with Ubisoft Titles for Individual Purchase"

Amazon Luna, the cloud gaming platform, has introduced a new feature that allows players to buy games, similar to Google Stadia. Currently, this feature is limited to select Ubisoft titles, such as Assassin's Creed Mirage, and works by purchasing a license linked to the player's Ubisoft account. This approach provides players with the ability to play their purchased games on alternate platforms, even if Amazon Luna were to shut down. The Amazon Luna Controller is currently discounted to $40.
