Casual game marketplace Legacy Games to close online store this December

Legacy Games, a casual game marketplace established in 1998, has announced the closure of its online store, effective December 31, 2026. The company specializes in publishing hidden object games across PC, console, and mobile platforms, as well as other casual genres. In 2020, Legacy Games launched its online store, featuring over 1,000 titles under the slogan, "Amazing games.

Incredible value. Yours to keep forever." These games were often sold as multi-game bundles, and the marketplace also distributed physical discs with digital codes at Walmart stores and on Amazon.

The company's FAQ informed customers that after the store's closure, disc download codes would no longer be redeemable, and points, rewards, and Hero Club memberships would also expire. Legacy Games' website and servers would cease operations on February 28, 2027, marking the last day for players to download and install their purchased games.

Once installed, these titles can continue to be enjoyed as long as they remain on the same device. However, players will lose the ability to re-download previous purchases, rendering deleted games unavailable.

While Legacy Games has not disclosed a specific reason for the closure, the company expressed gratitude to its customers for being part of its story.
