Effective immediately, Amazon has ceased support for third-party game subscriptions on its Luna cloud gaming platform, impacting users who previously purchased Ubisoft+ and Jackbox Games subscriptions through the service. Active subscriptions will be automatically canceled at the end of the next billing cycle for customers who made purchases via Luna. However, users with a direct subscription from Ubisoft will retain access to their games until June 10.

Additionally, the option to bring games from platforms like EA and GOG to Luna will be discontinued after June 3. Players who have purchased games directly on Luna can continue to access them until June 10, but Amazon will not issue refunds for these purchases, unlike Google's approach with Stadia. Users may need to seek alternatives such as GeForce Now to continue playing their titles if they lack the hardware for more demanding games.

In recent months, Amazon has been adjusting the Luna service, including a revamp launched last October that emphasized party games. Prime subscribers can still claim PC games and stream titles on the Luna Standard tier at no additional charge. The Luna Premium subscription remains available, featuring a broader selection of third-party games. Amazon announced its commitment to enhancing gaming experiences while offering some users a complimentary Luna Premium subscription.
