Legacy Games, a casual games marketplace founded in 1998, announced the closure of its online store on December 31, 2026. The company, known for the slogan “Amazing games. Incredible value. Yours to keep forever,” informed that starting February 28, 2027, players will no longer be able to download or reinstall acquired titles.
The store, launched in 2020, offered more than 1,000 titles, many in bundles, plus digital codes on physical discs sold at chains like Walmart and Amazon. After the store closes, disc download codes become non-redeemable, and points, rewards, and Hero Club programs end.
What changes for players
- Until December 31, 2026: store closes; codes stop working.
- Until February 28, 2027: last day to download and install purchased games (including those claimed via Amazon Luna).
- After that date: already installed games remain playable on the same device, but cannot be re-downloaded if deleted.
The company did not detail the reason for the closure, only thanking customers for being part of the “Legacy Games story.” The case reinforces debates about digital ownership on game platforms, especially when slogans promise permanent permanence.
