Grid Legends Multiplayer Servers Are Shutting Down on September 11
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Electronic Arts is shutting down the multiplayer servers for Codemasters' Grid Legends on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox on September 11, though single-player modes and select platform versions will remain active.
Electronic Arts is continuing its steady pace of service retirements by pulling the plug on the multiplayer servers for Grid Legends across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms on September 11. Originally developed by Codemasters and released in 2022, the racer is losing its online infrastructure just four years after launch, dealing another blow to accessibility in modern racing games.
There is some relief for fans of the franchise since the single-player campaign and offline content will remain accessible after the servers go dark. Furthermore, the Nintendo Switch 2 version released earlier this year, along with select mobile and VR adaptations, will maintain their online functionality for the foreseeable future, creating a fragmented landscape for the community.
This closure follows a steady rotation of service terminations from the publisher, which also recently confirmed that NBA Mobile 26 will shut down on October 27. As digital ownership becomes increasingly fragile and live service lifecycles shorten, situations like this highlight the ongoing preservation challenges facing modern cross-platform gaming communities. Game Rant originally reported these shutdown details.
