Electronic Arts has officially shut down console multiplayer servers for a solid multiplayer game, ending online support on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on Monday, June 22. The shutdown closes the book on a decade-long run for the 2015 game, which experimented with the Battlefield franchise and shifted it away from military warfare and into a cops-and-robbers setup. Of course, this is not the only EA game to have recently been shut down.
In 2026 alone, EA has already shut down services for games like Anthem and the PS3 multiplayer version of Dragon Age: Inquisition, with more shutdowns continuing across its catalog. For example, EA is also scheduled to end support for Plants vs. Zombies HD on iOS (June 24), further reinforcing the ongoing rotation of aging online infrastructure. EA does tend to announce these shutdowns months in advance at the very least, which is not always the case for even major publishers, and fans have known about the latest shutdown since May.
EA employees have apparently been left reeling, as the company announces more layoffs impacting workers across multiple countries.
