It’s one of the pieces of news we least like to share, when server closures for Xbox games are announced. The bleeding seemed to have stopped in recent months, coinciding with summer, but now we have up to seven closures scheduled, from November to December.

We have a bit of everything, although perhaps what hurts the most are the mythical car games that are shutting down their servers forever. The closures will begin next week and will last until the end of the year, in total, these are all the games that will be closing their servers in the next two months.

New games shutting down servers on Xbox

These are the games that will lose online support in the coming months, along with the official dates announced by their developers and publishers:

The closure will not affect local content or single-player modes, but it does mean the end of multiplayer and online leaderboards for all affected titles. Some studios have publicly thanked the community for their support over the years, although no data migrations or official alternatives are expected.

If you still have pending matches or want to enjoy one last online session, this is the time. From the specified dates, the servers will be permanently disconnected.
