https://9to5google.com/2023/02/06/amazon-luna-february-game-removals/">notes[/url] that the paid Luna+ tier will lose 53 games in February. Many of these are older or niche titles you won't necessarily miss, but that does mean losing classics like
No More Heroes (gone February 11th) as well as more recent titles like <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="

9to5Google, a spokesperson said only that Amazon was "refreshing" its content as part of a goal to keep its collection "as fresh as possible."</p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>The issue, as you might guess, is that this isn't an isolated situation.

Microsoft's Game Pass and Sony's PlayStation Plus Premium are more expensive, but promise access to hundreds of games (if frequently from the back catalog).</p><p>The shrinking selection doesn't come at a great time, either.

Amazon's platform won't necessarily suffer the same fate, but it's not entering a thriving market — and those rivals that are left sometimes offer perks you won't find with Luna, such as <a data-i13n="cpos:8;pos:1" href="
