A significant part of Amazon Luna’s offering is soon coming to an end. This change will affect many users, altering which games can still be accessed through the service and what they should pay attention to now.

Amazon is making a change to its cloud gaming service, Luna, that will be noticeable for many users. This primarily affects those who have used content beyond Amazon’s own selection. This option will no longer be available. According to an updated support page, starting June 10, 2026, games and subscriptions from other providers will no longer be supported on Luna. For users, this means the service will be significantly more limited to Amazon’s offerings in the future.

Who the Change Affects

Until now, Luna was not limited to the Amazon library. The service allowed users to play games purchased from other stores–such as GOG and the EA Store. Additionally, users could play content from subscriptions like Ubisoft+ or Jackbox Games on Luna in the cloud. This integration is now ending. Those who continue to use Luna will only have access to titles directly in the service’s library. Amazon has not provided a reason for this decision.

What Becomes Important for Game Saves

The change is also important regarding game saves. Amazon states that these data will remain available for 90 days after June 10. During this period, they can be downloaded through the settings. The company also notes that such game saves may not be usable on other platforms. Users should therefore secure their data in time and check early on whether the files can be used later.

The change not only affects the selection of games. For some customers, Luna was also a way to play more demanding titles without needing powerful hardware. This advantage diminishes when content from other stores and subscriptions is removed. Although games purchased on GOG or EA remain in the respective user account, they will no longer be available through Luna. This may require downloading the content again on other hardware.

Why Luna Loses Openness

For remaining customers, this step means less flexibility. Those who previously used multiple platforms simultaneously could consolidate these contents on Luna. In the future, only the selection that Amazon offers directly within the service will remain. Thus, Luna loses some of its previous openness. For affected users, it will be especially important to secure their game saves in time and adjust to the reduced scope of the offering.
