Two More Games Are Losing Online Services Soon

Two more games are losing their online services, but the good news is that the server shutdowns aren't happening all that soon. Delisted Games spotted notices from EA and 2K informing fans about forthcoming server closures. Grid Legends will lose its online service on PlayStation and Xbox consoles on September 11 this year, but servers will stay up for the game's Steam and Switch 2 editions. Grid Legends is riding ... off into the sunset. 2K, meanwhile, announced that TopSpin 2K25's online support will go dark on December 31, 2027. 2K had previously said servers will close at the end of 2026, so players are getting an entire year more than expected. 2K said in its notice that supporting older titles while managing newer ones eventually becomes commercially unfeasible. EA, for its part, said a similar thing, noting that, as player populations on older titles fall, it's no longer feasible to continue the behind-the-scenes work involved with operating them. This all may be true, but anyone who is playing and enjoying Grid Legends and TopSkin 2K25 may not be thrilled by the shutdowns. In the case of TopSkin 2K25, that's the newest game in the series, so it's even more of a bummer.
