2026 closures at a glance

Call of Duty: Warzone on PS4 and Xbox One: 6 November 2026

Activision's Warzone platform update FAQ says Warzone "will no longer be available to play on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One" from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Season 1. Activision's own Season 1 post on the PlayStation Blog says Season 1 goes live on 6 November, and its Steam announcement gives the time as midnight ET on 6 November (9pm PT on 5 November, 10:30am IST on 6 November). Treat 5 November as the last full day.

• Already gone: new downloads and local-currency bundles (4 June), and the in-game store (25 June).

• Stops on 6 November: the game itself on PS4 and Xbox One.

• Not affected: Warzone on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, and other Call of Duty games on PS4 and Xbox One.

Synduality: Echo of Ada: purchases end 18 December 2026, online after May 2027

Bandai Namco's end of service notice says sales of paid items including SYN COINS end on 18 December 2026 at 00:00 JST (17 December, 8:30pm IST; 10am ET). The online service ends after May 2027, with an exact date due around March 2027. The October 2026 event was the last.

• SYN COINS bought before the cut-off can be used for 150 days after activation. Bandai Namco says unused coins won't be refunded.

• A save transfer to local saves is scheduled for December 2026.

• The game then becomes a free offline PvE update for existing owners, including disc copies.

NBA 2K25: online ends 31 December 2026

2K's NBA 2K25 server sunset notice says the game is discontinued as of 31 December 2026. It left stores on 30 October 2026. From 1 January 2027 you can't play multiplayer or any online mode, MyCAREER and MyTEAM are gone, and you can't earn VC. Online Leagues and community sharing also stop. 2K's online services status page lists the same date.

New World: Aeternum: offline on 31 January 2027

Amazon Games' New World update says the game will be "taken offline from all platforms on January 31, 2027". It was delisted on 15 January 2026, and Marks of Fortune stopped being sold on 20 July 2026. It's online-only, so after 31 January it can't be played at all.

What you can still do

• Warzone: sign in on PS5, Xbox Series X|S or PC with the same Activision account. Activision says your progress and content bought with COD Points carry over. Unspent COD Points and most real-money content stay in the same console family: PS4 to PS5, or Xbox One to Xbox Series X|S.

• NBA 2K25: offline modes keep working. 2K says Play Now, MyNBA, The W and MyWNBA stay playable, and owners can still redownload the game. Spend any VC before 31 December.

• Synduality: use SYN COINS before they expire and do the save transfer when Bandai Namco opens it. Its FAQ says saves that aren't transferred won't carry over, and the offline version starts fresh.

• New World: play until 31 January 2027. If you already own it you can still reinstall it. World bosses and bonus weeks continue until shutdown, but there's no new content and no refunds for Marks of Fortune.

• Earlier 2026 shutdowns: Dark Souls 2 and 3 servers offline and Street Fighter V going offline.

Not on this list: we only add closures with a notice on the publisher's own site. We'll update this page when Bandai Namco confirms Synduality's final date (expected around March 2027).
