Popular PlayStation Plus Game Going Offline, Last Chance to Play
AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
A June 2025 PlayStation Plus Essential free game, NBA 2K25, will be delisted and permanently offline. The game will no longer be purchasable after October 30, 2026, and its servers will shut down on January 1, 2027. Both online and offline single‑player modes will become unplayable, including the MyCareer campaign that requires virtual currency. Owners have three months to finish the game, with a final purchase deadline of October 30. The move leaves NBA 2K25 effectively unusable.
💡 Why It Matters
- · The shutdown removes a recent, widely played title from PlayStation’s library, underscoring the fleeting availability of digital-only games and the impact on players who invested time and money in its online features.
