PlayStation has confirmed that it is delisting and permanently shutting down one of its games. PlayStation, like virtually every other video game company that publishes online-only, mobile, and live-service games, occasionally shuts down its games. It may not happen at the same rate and scale as third-party publishers like EA and Take-Two, but it is certainly not unheard of.
In fact, PlayStation has suffered some of the most high-profile shutdowns of all time. PlayStation’s original attempt to shut down the PlayStation Store on PS3 was met with such severe backlash that the company pushed it back for years, and it infamously shuttered live-service hero-shooter game Concord mere weeks after its initial release. PlayStation has also canceled some of its live-service games before they have even been able to get out the door, as is the case with The Last of Us‘ online multiplayer game and more recently, the heist shooter Fairgames.
PlayStation openly discusses its pricing stategy for the PS6, as well as its investment plans regarding the console in 2027.
The next PlayStation game on the chopping block is a mobile version of one of its most popular franchises….
