PS5 and PS4 games being delisted or shut down before the end of 2026: every date

2026-11-13 · Guides

At least eight PlayStation games are being shut down or pulled from sale before the end of 2026. The first date is November 25, when Sony ends server support for PS5 exclusive Destruction AllStars. Push Square, Game Rant and PlayStation LifeStyle all published roundups in early November. Here's what actually happens to each game, because "delisted" and "stops working" aren't the same thing.

November 25: Destruction AllStars

The vehicular combat game launched in February 2021 as a PS5 exclusive. Sony removed it from the PlayStation Store on May 26, 2026, along with its in-game currency, and multiplayer was already disabled by then. On November 25, all server support ends.

Outlets disagree about what's left after that. Game Informer, TheSixthAxis and Game Rant say single-player Arcade Mode challenges stay playable, though some functionality may be affected. GamingHQ says the game becomes completely inaccessible. We'll only know for sure after November 25. Until then you can still spend any leftover in-game currency.

December 18: Zenith: Nexus and Synduality

Zenith: Nexus (PS VR2). Servers for the VR online RPG close on December 18 at 10 a.m. Pacific. The game won't be playable afterward, and there are no plans for an offline version or community servers. Developer Ramen VR announced it on October 21, citing low player retention and servers running at a loss.

SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada (PS5). This one isn't being shut down or delisted, despite what some lists say. On December 18, only sales of paid SYN COINS end, and coins you already have stay usable for 150 days. Bandai Namco says the online service will end "after May 2027," and the game will carry on as a standalone offline version.

December 31: four games leave the PlayStation Store

Street Outlaws: The List and Street Outlaws 2: Winner Takes All. Publisher GameMill announced it on October 29, citing expiring licenses.
Avatar: The Last Airbender - Quest for Balance (PS5, PS4), also from GameMill.
Hotel Transylvania 3: Monsters Overboard (PS4), from Outright Games.

All four are leaving for the same reason: the licensing deals are running out. One caveat: the publishers' notices for Avatar and Hotel Transylvania 3 were posted on the PC versions' pages, and the PlayStation Store date comes from news outlets.

December 31: NBA 2K25 goes offline

2K is turning off NBA 2K25's servers on PS5 and PS4 on December 31. From January 1, 2027, every online mode is gone, including MyCAREER and MyTEAM. Play Now and MyNBA still work offline. GamingBolt and Games.gg report the game was already pulled from digital stores on October 30.

What happens to games you own

Delisted games stay in your library. You can re-download and play them, and that applies to Street Outlaws, Avatar and Hotel Transylvania 3. You just can't buy them after the cutoff.

Server shutdowns depend on the game. Zenith: Nexus stops working entirely. NBA 2K25 keeps its offline modes. Destruction AllStars is unclear.

If you've been meaning to pick up one of the December 31 games, do it in December. PlayStation LifeStyle notes there are no farewell discounts so far. Our PS5 game library guide shows how to find a purchased game and download it again.
