Prime Gaming is now Amazon Luna—here's what to know

Looking for Prime Gaming and landing on something called Amazon Luna instead? Don't worry, you haven't lost anything. Amazon reworked its online gaming service, but every perk made the move.

Prime Gaming is now folded into Amazon Luna, the cloud gaming service that gathers all of Amazon's gaming benefits for Prime members under one brand. The free monthly games, the in-game loot, and the Twitch benefits are all still here, just with a new home in Luna.

This guide covers what Luna is, what comes with your Prime membership, what the paid tier adds, and what changed when Amazon made the switch.

What happened to Prime Gaming?

Prime Gaming hasn't shut down, but the name has mostly disappeared. Amazon redesigned Luna in October 2025 and rolled the old Prime Gaming benefits into it, so the perks Prime members already had now sit inside the Luna interface. You'll still see the phrase "Prime Gaming" attached to the monthly free games in some places, which is why the two names get used almost interchangeably.

Is Amazon Luna the same as Prime Gaming?

Mostly, yes, with one distinction. Luna is the streaming platform and the umbrella brand. Prime Gaming refers specifically to the gaming benefits bundled with Amazon Prime, which now flow through Luna.

Luna runs as a subscription-based cloud gaming service with two plans: Luna Standard, included at no extra cost with a Prime membership, and Luna Premium, a paid add-on that costs $9.99 per month.

How does Amazon Luna work?

Luna streams games from Amazon's servers to your device, so you don't need a powerful console or PC to play. Games stream to Fire TV devices, tablets, smartphones, web browsers, and select LG and Samsung smart TVs. You can play with a standard compatible controller, the dedicated Amazon Luna Controller, or, in some cases, your phone.

To get in, head to the Luna website or open the Luna app and sign in with your Amazon account. For GameNight specifically, Amazon recommends playing on a large screen, such as a living room TV, via the Luna app or Fire TV, though it also works in a browser. If you've linked a Twitch account, many of the Twitch-related perks route through there.

Is Amazon Luna free with an Amazon Prime membership?

Luna Standard comes with Prime at no additional charge. An Amazon Prime membership costs $14.99 per month, or $139 per year, in the U.S. if you pay annually. With it, Luna Standard gives you a rotating library of streamable games plus the monthly free-game claims.

How much does Amazon Luna cost?

If you want a larger catalog than the free tier offers, you can upgrade to Luna Premium for $9.99 per month, though prices may vary by region. Premium replaced the old Luna+ subscription, and Amazon automatically migrated existing Luna+ members with no action required. The Premium tier expands the catalog to include titles such as Madden NFL 26, Mafia: Definitive Edition, and Alien: Isolation.

What games do I get with Prime each month?

Prime Gaming hands out free PC games each month for subscribers to claim and keep, and the count typically ranges from 10 to 15 titles.

These monthly games do not require you to keep your subscription. Each week, you can claim new codes that redeem on storefronts like the Epic Games Store, GOG Galaxy, and Legacy Games, and once redeemed, they're yours to keep permanently, even if you later pause or cancel Prime.

The games you claim are separate from the streaming library, which rotates in and out and is only playable while you're subscribed. Luna Standard's streaming side includes party games, Fortnite, and a rotating premium library, with recent highlights such as Hogwarts Legacy and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

Do you still get a free Twitch subscription and in-game loot?

Yes. The Twitch benefits that defined the old Prime Gaming are still part of the package. That includes:

• A free Twitch channel subscription you can apply to one channel each month
• Rotating in-game loot for popular titles, refreshed regularly
• Exclusive Twitch emotes and a chat badge
• Extended broadcast storage if you're a creator

What is GameNight?

GameNight is Luna's take on couch multiplayer. Amazon added it as part of the October 2025 redesign: a selection of around 30 party games for casual players, where you use your phone as a controller with no app download needed. It's built for social, living-room play, and Amazon has continued adding titles to it, including co-op releases like Masters of the Universe: Legends Unite in June 2026.

What changed with Luna in April 2026?

This is the big one, and it's mostly about what Luna stopped doing. Starting April 10, 2026, Luna no longer offers third-party game stores, individual game purchases, or third-party subscriptions. Amazon removed the EA, Ubisoft, and GOG storefronts, discontinued the Bring Your Own Library feature, and canceled the Ubisoft+ and Jackbox subscriptions sold through Luna. There are no refunds for previously purchased games.

If you bought games through Luna, you can keep streaming them until June 10, 2026, after which Amazon removes them from the service. Those games remain accessible through their original platforms, like the EA App, GOG Galaxy, or Ubisoft Connect, since ownership was always tied to those accounts rather than Luna.

In short, Luna has narrowed to its two subscription tiers and walked away from being a storefront.

Do games I previously bought on Luna still work?

Only for a limited window. Previously purchased third-party games stay playable on Luna through June 10, 2026, and after that, you'll need to launch them through the linked third-party account you used at purchase. The game itself isn't gone. You just can't stream it through Luna anymore.

Is Amazon Luna worth it?

For most Prime members, the answer is to treat Luna as a bonus rather than a reason to subscribe. The monthly free games you keep forever are a great perk, and the Twitch subscription is worth real money if you already watch streams. The streaming library and GameNight are pleasant extras, especially for casual or party play.

What Luna isn't is a full Game Pass competitor. The April 2026 cuts made that even clearer by removing the storefront and library-linking features that gave it flexibility. If you're already paying for Prime, Luna Standard is a free value worth claiming each month. Luna Premium at $9.99 makes sense only if its rotating catalog lines up with what you actually want to play.
