How this list works
- A game is listed only after a publisher or developer posts a date or a dated window. Low player counts, rumors and "maintenance mode" don't count.
- "Online modes ending" means something still runs offline. "Full shutdown" means the game stops working.
- Dates are as the publisher wrote them. Where a time zone was given, it's included.
- We update this page as announcements land. Already-closed games are on Games shutting down in 2026.
