After being around in some form since the 90s, the time is officially up for Legacy Games as they're set to close down.

In an announcement on their website the CEO of Legacy Games mentioned you will be able to download games until February 28, 2027, after that - they're gone. So you may want to make some backups if you ever shopped with them. Amazon Prime / Luna gave out quite a lot of free games from their store - so chances are you might have a few.

The full message reads:

"Hi,

Legacy Games has had the privilege of making and selling games both from our website, www.legacygames.com, and at retail since 1998. Back then, I was taking care of four kids and started this company on a wing and a prayer, as they say. Now, after an incredibly fun and rewarding career as CEO, I am transitioning into retirement. Legacy Games will officially wind down and close its operations at the end of 2026.

What Does This Mean For You?
While our doors are closing, our commitment to you remains. Here is what you need to know moving forward:

• Access to Your Games: You will continue to have full access to the games you purchased after Legacy’s closure. Our servers will still be active and you will be able to download your games until February 28, 2027. Any games you download and install will be yours to keep forever. However, if the games are uninstalled after February 28, 2027, you will no longer be able to re-download the game.
• Ongoing Support: Our customer service team is fully available to assist you during this transition. If you have any immediate questions or need assistance backing up your library, please reach out to us at [email protected], or our company Gmail account at [email protected].
• Future Updates: We’ll send a detailed reminder on November 1 with instructions, key dates, and answers to common questions. We will be emailing you a few more times before the end of the year to share additional reminders.

A Personal Note
This transition is deeply bittersweet. I have truly loved working with our many talented, committed employees and am profoundly grateful for their contributions to our success. Thank you to Magne, Patrick, Terence, Kelly, Andras, and so many more who made this journey possible.

Over nearly three decades, Legacy has published more than 80 games across multiple platforms and distributed thousands of titles both digitally and at retail. While it is tough to say goodbye, the gaming industry has evolved significantly with new platforms and technologies, making this the right time to close this chapter—both for the business and for me personally.

I want to extend my deepest gratitude for your incredible support and business over these many years. Thank you for being a vital part of the Legacy story.

Best regards,

Ariella
CEO, Legacy Games"
