EA Is Shutting Down Four AAA Games in 24 Hours

Electronic Arts will end online services for four of its classic AAA racing games tomorrow, November 8th. This move continues EA's recent trend of winding down support for older titles.

Games Affected

All four were developed by Codemasters and originally released between 2011 and 2014 for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. While these games remain fully playable offline, their online multiplayer capabilities will be permanently disabled.

Background and Context

EA's recent closures include the October shutdown of online services for Need for Speed: Rivals. This pattern indicates EA’s growing focus on phasing out older game servers.

"EA is set to wind down services for some of its older games, following the closure of Need for Speed: Rivals earlier this month."

Besides the four confirmed titles, there is a possibility that two additional games may also have their online functions discontinued, though these have not been officially announced.

Impact on Players

While the decision is expected, it is disappointing for fans hoping to replay these games online in the future.

"These four games that EA is shutting down tomorrow could be joined by two others that previously weren’t announced."
Summary

EA is permanently disabling online play for four Codemasters racing games tomorrow, marking another step in the gradual shutdown of legacy game servers.

Author’s note: This marks a significant shift as EA phases out multiplayer accessibility for some of its older popular racing titles, impacting long-time fans.
