"Your feedback has been clear," Amazon says after doing something people clearly wouldn't want.
Amazon Luna will disable access to third-party game stores and any purchases subscribers have made through them starting this month. The enshittification of the service will continue through into June, where any titles previously purchased through third-party stores will no longer be playable within Luna.
“At Amazon, we’re always looking for ways to better serve our players. Your feedback has been clear: you want easy access to great games, more social experiences, and a steady flow of new content from developers you know and love. As our library continues to grow, more of that content is available to Prime members-and that’s where we’re focusing our future,” the company said in a statement.
From today, Amazon Luna has disabled third-party game stores, individual game purchases, and third-party subscriptions. Previously purchased titles will no longer be playable from 10 June.
On that same day, 10 June, Luna’s “Bring Your Own Library” will no longer be available, and Ubisoft+ and Jackbox Games subscriptions, through Luna, will be discontinued. If you’ve got a Netflix subscription, you may be pleased to learn that three Jackbox Games are now part of that service.
“After June 10, 2026, previously purchased a-la-carte titles will no longer be playable on Luna,” Amazon added. “However, you can continue to access them directly through the third-party platform account you had linked when you made the purchase on Luna.”
While that’s okay for some, Luna could have been the only way some players actually can play games purchased through EA, GOG, or Ubisoft. Too bad for them, I guess.
Some would argue that Luna started its enshittification back in October of last year when it announced “a human-built, AI-powered improv courtroom game” starring Snoop Dogg, amongst other changes.

Here in Australia, we don’t have access to Amazon Luna anyway.
