After launching for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC just 45 days ago, support for Highguard will officially come to an end today, as Wildlight Entertainment prepares to shut the game's servers down for good on March 12. At the time of writing this article, Highguard's servers still appear to be operational, but the end is most certainly near, as the studio's publisher has already delisted the shooter from numerous digital storefronts such as Steam and the PlayStation Store.
Highguard now joins the likes of Concord, The Day Before, and Radical Heights as one of the few titles to shut down just weeks after its release. Even with the coveted final spot on the Game Awards, Highguard failed to retain the interest of gamers around the world, quickly falling from nearly 100,000 concurrent Steam players at launch to just 600 active users one month later. The shooter's developer, Wildlight Entertainment, says that Highguard attracted 2 million players across all of its supported platforms upon its release, but many of them seemingly abandoned the title quicker than anticipated. Now, less than two months later, Highguard will be shut down forever.
