Ubisoft And EA Are Pulling The Plug On Older Online Games Over The Next Few Months

Ubisoft is set to end support for another batch of aging online multiplayer titles early next year. The French publisher will be decommissioning ten more games across multiple platforms on January 25th, 2024, including several older Assassin’s Creed games, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, Heroes of Might and Magic VI, and Splinter Cell: Conviction, among others.

Meanwhile, Electronic Arts will also be pulling the plug on some of its older titles. Those include the PlayStation 3, PSP, and Xbox 360 versions of Dante’s Inferno and the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 versions of Dead Space 2 on December 8th. Battlefield 1943 and Battlefield: Bad Company 1 and 2 will also be taken offline on the same day.

EA also announced that several of its online titles will no longer work with older operating systems (Windows 7, 8, and 8.1) come November 30th. This will apply to Battlefield 1, Battlefield 5, and Star Wars: Battlefront II, all of which will only work on Windows 10 and 11 after the said date.
