Amazon is ending support<\/a> for third-party integrations on its Luna cloud gaming service. The most immediate changes mean that it’s no longer possible to buy Ubisoft+<\/a> and Jackbox Games subscriptions or standalone games through Luna.<\/p>\n

Amazon will automatically any cancel active subscriptions bought through Luna at the end of customers’ next billing cycle. If you have a Ubisoft+ subscription that you bought directly from Ubisoft instead, you\u2019ll still be able to access games on that service through Luna until June 10.<\/p>\n

The Bring Your Own Library option \u2014 which allows users to play games they own on the likes of EA<\/a>, GOG<\/a> and Ubisoft<\/a> on Luna \u2014 is going away too. You won’t be able to access games from on those storefronts via Amazon’s streaming service after June 3.<\/p>\n

If you bought any games outright<\/a> on Luna, you’ll still be able to play them there until June 10. Unlike Google did when it shut down Stadia<\/a>, Amazon isn\u2019t offering refunds for those purchases. However, you’ll still have access to them through the respective third-party platform that’s linked to your account, be it the EA App, GOG Galaxy or Ubisoft Connect.<\/p>\n

That doesn’t exactly help folks who don’t have powerful-enough systems to play more demanding games and were relying on Luna. As such, some people might need to turn to the likes of GeForce Now in order to keep playing games they bought through Luna (and they\u2019ll need to hope GFN actually supports their specific games).<\/p>\n

Amazon has been reshaping Luna over the last several months. It rolled out a revamped version of the service back in October<\/a>, with more of a focus on GameNight party games that you can play with a smartphone.<\/p>\n

Prime subscribers will still be able to claim PC games and stream games on the Luna Standard tier at no extra cost. The Luna Premium subscription, which includes a wider range of third-party games, is still available too.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re doubling down on a broad range of gaming experiences, including strong third-party titles, delivered in ways that make great games more accessible, as well as new and unique gaming experiences like GameNight,\u201d Amazon wrote in an email to Luna users. The company also said it will offer some folks a free Luna Premium subscription.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amazon is ending support for third-party integrations on its Luna cloud gaming service.
