Three hit games owned by 21 million fans going offline forever in weeks as players warned to ‘complete’ before deadline

THREE major video games are due to go offline for good in a matter of weeks – and two will become totally unplayable.

The third will lose all access to online services and support, but you’ll still be able to access it via an offline mode.

    Millions of players across consoles and PCs will be affected by the shutdowns, all of which are taking place in June.

    And it’ll affect sports games, shooters, and a hit horror title too.

    GAME SERVER CLOSURE #1 – XDefiant

    Shutting Down: June 3, 2025

    Ubisoft shooter XDefiant is due to shut down in a matter of weeks.

    The game is currently available on Xbox Series X and S, PlayStation 5, and Windows – but not for long.

    Despite launching just one year ago (May 21, 2024) – and reaching a high of 11 million players – the game is about to be killed off for good.

    “Thank you for your incredible dedication and support of XDefiant, Ubisoft said.

    “We regret to inform you that we are initiating the sunset process starting today, December 3rd, 2024.

    “As a result, new downloads, player registrations and purchases will no longer be available. Season 3 will still launch, so stay tuned for more updates to come.

    “The servers will remain active, and the game will be fully playable until June 3rd, 2025.”

    Ubisoft said that players who purchased the Ultimate Founders Pack will get a full refund automatically.

    And if you’ve made any VC or DLC purchases since November 3, 2024, you’ll also be fully refunded.

    This will take about eight weeks to process.

    Ubisoft admitted that the news would be a “disappointment”, adding: “We deeply appreciate the time and passion you have invested in our community.”

    The game is due to go offline on June 3, 2025.

    There’s no offline mode, which means there won’t be any way to play the game following the shutdown.

    GAME SERVER CLOSURE #2 – Resident Evil Re:Verse

    Shutting Down: June 29, 2025

    Resident Evil Re:Verse is also shutting down, with just over a month until closure.

    The multiplayer game was released in October 2021, bundled in with Resident Evil Village (which sold 10.5 million copies).

    But it’s due to be killed off for good on June 29.

    “This is to inform you that service will be ending for Resident Evil Re:Verse, which comes packaged with a purchase of Resident Evil Village for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, or Steam,” Capcom explained.

    “The application and all of its related DLC will no longer be available for download or purchase.”

    Capcom continued: “Resident Evil Re:Verse was developed in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Resident Evil series, and your overwhelming support for the game has far exceeded our expectations since the time of its release.

    “Now that we’ve reached a new turning point for the series, we feel that Resident Evil Re:Verse has served its original, celebratory purpose admirably.

    “We are incredibly grateful for your warm support for Resident Evil Re:Verse, and we deeply apologise for bringing you this disappointing news.”

    The game is already no longer available for download, and its DLC has been scrapped (as of March 3).

    Then as of June 29, gamers will no longer be able to play the title.

    GAME SERVER CLOSURE #3 – Madden NFL 21

    Shutting Down: June 30, 2025

    American football fans will lose online support for Madden NFL 21 at the end of June too.

    The 2020 title reportedly sold well, according to game-maker EA, although we don’t have exact figures.

    But in any case, the now-aged title is due to have its servers shut down for good.

    “Thank you for your loyalty and passion for Madden NFL over the years,” EA Sports said.

    “As of June 30, 2025, online services, support, and in-game purchasing for Madden NFL 21 will be retired.”

    Madden Points are already no longer available for purchase in the game (as of April 1).

    OTHER GAME CLOSURES COMING UP

    Here's what to watch out for...

    MultiVersus – May 30 xDefiant – June 3 The First Descendant – June 19 Black Desert – June 26 Resident Evil ReVerse – June 29 Madden NFL 21 – June 30 Arizona Sunshine – July 1 Skyworld – July 1 Danmachi Battle Chronicle – September 29 WWE 2K24 – September 30 Madden NFL 22 – October 20 PGA Tour 2K21 – October 30 NBA 2K24 – December 31

    But it’s still possible to use any existing balances until June 30.

    Then on June 30, any of your unused Madden Points will expire.

    The only upside is that you can still play the game offline after June 30 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, and PC.

    But all online services, support, and in-game purchasing will shut down.
