What is Adobe’s official stance on Luma in 2026?

Adobe hasn’t formally deprecated Luma, but the de facto signals are clear:

  • No meaningful Luma updates since 2022, only security backports.
  • Adobe’s own 2024 announcement positioned Hyvä as the recommended frontend for Adobe Commerce going forward.
  • Adobe Commerce Cloud onboarding for new merchants now defaults to Hyvä project templates.
  • Magento Open Source still ships with Luma as default (won’t change in 2026), but every "what should I build new with?" recommendation from Adobe Solution Partners points at Hyvä.

The way to read this: Luma will keep working for 5+ more years (Magento doesn’t break things), but it’s in maintenance mode. Building greenfield on Luma in 2026 is choosing the legacy stack on day one.
