Amazon Luna to End Third-Party Game Purchases, Shifts Focus to Prime Content by 2026
April 10, 2026
Amazon Luna will discontinue purchases of third‑party games and subscriptions, with all previously bought third‑party titles removed from Luna on June 10, 2026; however, users can still access those games through their EA, Ubisoft, or GOG accounts on other platforms.
This shift is framed as a move to focus Luna’s library on content available to Prime members, though Amazon provides no deeper rationale beyond that.
For users with incompatible hardware, alternatives such as GeForce Now may be necessary to continue playing Luna-purchased titles.

Amazon says it will double down on a broad range of gaming experiences and may offer some users a free Luna Premium subscription.
Luna remains compatible with a wide array of devices, including PCs, laptops, mobile devices, Fire TV, Fire tablets, certain smart TVs, and Xfinity devices.
Historically, Luna had AAA titles like Hogwarts Legacy and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and its pricing and access model continue to evolve.
Launched in 2020, Luna has struggled to gain traction amid ongoing dissatisfaction with streaming‑only game access.
Amazon is offering Luna Premium for free to current Luna owners during the transition, though the duration is not specified and may vary.
Amazon is occasionally extending complimentary Luna Premium access to select customers to ease the transition.
As part of the transition, Luna is providing a free Luna Premium subscription, with duration yet to be announced.
