Ubisoft announces shutdown of online services for 15 games in September

Ubisoft recently announced the upcoming shutdown of online services for 15 games on September 1, 2022.

According to a Ubisoft support page, “closing the online services for some older games allows us to focus our resources on delivering great experiences for players who are playing newer or more popular titles.”

The decommission of online services will no longer allow players to link Ubisoft accounts in-game in most games originally released on PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U and PC. Most games will also lose the ability to play multiplayer titles. Seven PC games will also lose the ability to install and access DLCs. One PC title, Space Junkies, will no longer be playable because it’s a multiplayer-only title.
