Luna stopped offering third-party stores, individual game purchases, and third-party subscriptions on April 10, 2026. Bring Your Own Library (BYOL) was Luna’s feature for streaming games owned through linked third-party storefront accounts. The change affects third-party access, not the entire service.
For US players, the shift means checking where each game license lives and what Luna still offers. Earlier purchases had a limited streaming window, while Luna continued with subscription games and other features. This report covers the shutdown and Luna’s September 2026 additions, including new ways to play with others.
Readers who bought through a third-party account should keep track of which platform is linked to each title.

Amazon Luna Ends Game Purchases 2026: Which Dates Matter?
The first cutoff was April 10, 2026, when Luna stopped taking new third-party purchases and subscriptions. That date ended new access to stores, individual game purchases, and third-party subscriptions through Luna. Existing game ownership and streaming access had different cutoff dates.
The changes covered more than one way to use Luna. Players could no longer buy a third-party game through the service or start a third-party subscription there. Active subscriptions could still provide benefits for a short period.
June 3 and June 10 marked separate cutoffs: BYOL ended first, while streaming for previously purchased games continued longer.
April 10 ended new sales and subscriptions
On April 10, Luna stopped offering third-party game stores, individual game purchases, and third-party subscriptions. That change closed new sales and sign-ups, rather than ending every Luna feature.
Players with active third-party subscriptions could keep receiving benefits through June 10. The service did not offer new third-party subscriptions after the April cutoff.
BYOL and previously purchased games had separate cutoffs
BYOL ended on June 3, while previously purchased third-party games remained streamable on Luna through June 10. The dates matter because the BYOL feature and Luna streaming access for purchased games were not the same thing.
EA’s support page explains that EA games used linked accounts on Luna and confirms the BYOL end date. EA’s Luna account details can help players understand that account connection.
| Change | Cutoff | What ended | What remained |
|---|---|---|---|
| Individual purchases | April 10, 2026 | New third-party game purchases | Earlier purchases |
| Third-party stores and subscriptions | April 10, 2026 | Store access and new subscriptions | Active subscription benefits through June 10 |
| BYOL | June 3, 2026 | Streaming games from linked libraries | Games owned on original platforms |
| Streaming for purchased games or active subscription benefits | June 10, 2026 | Luna streaming and subscription benefits | Game ownership on the original platform |
The cutoff for streaming purchased games did not erase ownership on the original platform. Use June 10, 2026, as the last day for the affected purchased games to stream on Luna.
Can You Still Access Games You Bought Through Luna?
Losing the Luna stream does not remove a game from the platform account that owns it. The license stays with its original platform, such as an EA App, GOG Galaxy, or Ubisoft Connect account. Owning a game on one platform does not guarantee cloud streaming on another.
A bring library title does not turn into a Steam license when Luna access ends. A game tied to an EA, GOG, or Ubisoft account stays with that account, even if another service can stream some games.
Use these checks to find the game and see what other play options exist:
- Sign in to the linked account that owns the game.
- Confirm the title appears in that account’s library.
- Check the game’s support on a separate streaming service before relying on it.
GeForce NOW supports only the games it makes available, so ownership alone does not promise a stream there. The same rule applies to Steam: a license held by another platform does not become a Steam copy.
A password manager can help you keep linked-account logins organized across devices. See this guide to password managers for account security before storing several storefront logins.
Check the exact title’s support on a separate streaming service before counting on it as a replacement.
What Can Luna Members Play and Use Now?
Luna’s September 2026 update added two named games to Standard and expanded ways to play with others remotely. The update kept subscription gaming in focus, with more than 80 games in Luna Standard. Remote Play let eligible hosts invite up to seven other people.
Star Wars: Outlaws and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora joined Luna Standard. A Prime or Luna Premium account holder could host Remote Play. Guests needed an Amazon account and a supported device, but not Prime.
More than 60 Luna games supported shared sessions. GameNight added King of Tokyo for up to six players and It’s Quiz Time: Guinness World Records. Cranium Planet was scheduled for September and supports up to eight players. Bowling Mayhem was listed as coming soon.
September’s free PC games for Amazon Prime members included War Hospital, Just Die Already, Drop Duchy, DOOM + DOOM II, Botany Manor, DOOM Eternal, Rims Racing, Wall World 2, Hue, The Da Vinci Cryptex, and High on Life. Claiming a PC game differs from buying a Luna stream; the claim’s redemption platform holds the PC license.
FC 27 was not among the named September 2026 Luna Standard additions, which does not settle its future availability. Amazon Luna’s game-purchase change was separate from Xbox’s cloud-gaming update. Starting in November 2026, Xbox Game Pass cloud gaming was scheduled for 15 monthly hours on Ultimate, 10 on Premium, and five on Essential. Xbox expected 4% of subscribers to be affected.
For families comparing subscriptions and console access, this family gaming console guide also covers Xbox Game Pass.
A Prime PC claim does not promise a Luna stream; check the game’s named redemption platform before you count on access.
Check the title and redemption platform before assuming a Prime PC claim can be streamed through Luna.
Conclusion
The key distinction is that a Luna streaming cutoff does not by itself erase ownership on the original platform. Luna’s streaming window ended without moving a game license to Luna or another storefront.
For affected players, the practical next step is an account check, not a new purchase. Sign in to the linked storefront account and confirm that each affected title appears in its library.
FAQ
Can I still play a game I bought through Luna on Luna after June 10, 2026?
No, affected third-party games stopped streaming on Luna after June 10, 2026. The game license remains with the original platform account, so the cutoff removed Luna streaming access rather than ownership. Sign in to the account tied to the purchase and check its library. Another cloud service may support the title, but support varies by game.
Does a Prime PC game claim automatically add a game to Luna Standard?
No, a Prime PC claim does not automatically add a title to Luna Standard. The claim and Luna streaming access are separate. The redemption platform listed for the PC game determines where that license sits. Check the claim details before expecting to find the game in Luna’s subscription library or stream it there.
Does every Luna game support Remote Play shared sessions?
No, more than 60 Luna games supported shared sessions in September 2026, while Luna Standard offered more than 80 games. That means the shared-session list covered fewer titles than the full Standard library. Remote Play also required a host with Prime or Luna Premium, while invited guests needed an Amazon account and supported device.
Is FC 27 confirmed for Amazon Luna?
No, FC 27 was not among the named September 2026 Luna Standard additions. That lineup does not confirm whether the game will arrive later. A monthly game list is a snapshot of additions, not a promise about future releases. Check a later Luna lineup for any announcement about the title.
Can an EA, GOG, or Ubisoft game bought through Luna become a Steam copy?
No, an EA, GOG, or Ubisoft game does not become a Steam copy automatically. Its license stays with the original platform account, even after Luna streaming ends. A Steam version would require a separate Steam license. Check the account that held the purchase to find the game and its available install options.
Do Xbox Game Pass cloud-hour limits apply to Luna?
No, the scheduled November 2026 cloud-hour limits applied to Xbox Game Pass tiers, not Luna. Xbox planned monthly limits of 15 hours for Ultimate, 10 for Premium, and five for Essential. Those limits were a separate Xbox change. Luna’s subscription library and Remote Play rules did not use those Xbox hour totals.
