Bought Games on Amazon Luna? They're Gone in June

If you bought games through Amazon Luna, mark June 10 in your calendar, because that's the day they stop working. Amazon announced on April 10 that it is pulling individual game purchases, third-party subscriptions, and its Bring Your Own Library feature from Luna entirely. No refunds will be issued. All purchases, per Amazon, are final.

The full scope of what's being removed is worth spelling out. A-la-carte game purchases are gone immediately. Any games you already bought will stay accessible until June 10, then disappear. The Bring Your Own Library feature, which let users link GOG, EA, and Ubisoft accounts to stream those libraries through Luna, is also being cut, with access ending on June 3. Ubisoft+ and Jackbox Games subscriptions sold through Luna are being cancelled at the end of your next billing cycle. Third-party storefronts from EA, Ubisoft, and GOG are being removed from the platform entirely. As Eurogamer reported, Amazon has given users just two months' notice for all of this.

Amazon's explanation for the changes is that it's "always looking for ways to better serve our players" and that user "feedback" made it "clear" that people want "easy access to great games." The company has decided the best way to deliver that is to strip out most of what made Luna a distinct service and refocus everything around content available to Prime members.

Here's the contrast that makes this bad rather than just inconvenient: if you bought games on Luna because you didn't own hardware capable of running them natively, you are now stuck. Amazon's suggestion is that you either buy a device to play those games elsewhere or set up a different streaming option through the publishers directly. For users who went all-in on Luna precisely because it removed the hardware barrier, that advice is pretty hollow.

What Stadia Did Better

The comparison to Google Stadia is unavoidable here, and Amazon comes out worse. When Google shut Stadia down in 2023, it refunded every game purchase made through the platform. That was the bare minimum a company should do when it pulls the rug on a paid library, and Google did it. Amazon is not doing it. The message to anyone who spent money on Luna games is essentially: you trusted us, and that's your problem.

I've said it before and I'll keep saying it: buying games through a streaming storefront is a risk that almost never pays off for the consumer. At least a digital purchase on Steam or PlayStation can be downloaded, backed up, and accessed years later without the platform's active cooperation. Luna never offered that, and now the people who bought into it are learning that lesson the hard way.

Luna launched in 2020 and has spent most of its existence trying to figure out what it actually is. In 2025, Amazon announced a pivot toward Jackbox-style casual games, and this latest restructuring doubles down on that direction, moving everything behind subscription tiers similar to Game Pass. Amazon says save data will be available to download for 90 days from June 10, though it has warned that compatibility with other platforms varies by game and cannot be guaranteed.
