Eleven PlayStation titles across PS5, PS4, and PSVR2 are set to lose online functionality, in-game purchases, or store availability between September and October 2026, according to a roundup published by Push Square. The list spans dedicated server shutdowns, full delistings, and staged in-game purchase cutoffs, with Railbreak listed as delisted.
Here’s the context: it’s worth separating what is happening to each game. Most of the list is losing online services rather than being removed from the PlayStation Store entirely, meaning titles with single-player modes remain playable offline. Empulse and Splitgate: Arena Reloaded fall into a smaller third category: both are dropping dedicated server support on 3 September in favour of peer-to-peer connections. Both will remain playable, but future development will cease, with no new content packs or updates.
The full schedule
As compiled by Push Square, the schedule runs as follows:
- 3 September – Empulse (PS5) and Splitgate: Arena Reloaded (PS5) lose dedicated server support, shifting to peer-to-peer play.
- 4 September – Railbreak (PS4) is delisted, with PS5 remake Railbreak DX taking its place.
- 7 September – Hawked (PS5, PS4) online services end.
- 9 September – Mega Zombie (PS4) online services end.
- 11 September – GRID Legends (PS5, PS4) online services end.
- 17 September – Firewall Ultra (PSVR2) online services end.
- 22 September – Tower of Fantasy (PS4) in-game purchases end.
- 28 September – Sociable Soccer 25 (PS5) online services end.
- October (date unspecified) – Fortnite: Rocket Racing is removed as a selectable mode.
- 20 October – Tower of Fantasy (PS4) online services end entirely.
- Around 23 October – Call of Duty: Warzone (PS4) is discontinued, tied to the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4.
What remains unclear
It is unclear whether Railbreak owners will receive any upgrade path to Railbreak DX. The exact October date for Rocket Racing’s removal is also unspecified, as is the precise start of Modern Warfare 4’s Season 1, which is set to trigger Warzone’s shutdown rather than a fixed calendar date. Tower of Fantasy players can transfer progress to the PS5 version, PC, or mobile.
What to watch
The first deadline lands on 3 September with Empulse and Splitgate’s server changes, and the schedule continues through Tower of Fantasy’s full shutdown on 20 October. Push Square said it would update its roundup if further announcements arrive before then, so the Rocket Racing and Warzone dates are worth checking closer to the end of the period.
The headline number covers several different types of disruption. Railbreak is listed as a delisting, while many of the other entries are scheduled to lose online components. Empulse and Splitgate will retain multiplayer through peer-to-peer support after their dedicated servers are disabled. The schedule highlights how online features can change or end independently of a game’s store availability.
Which of these deadlines affects your plans: Railbreak’s delisting, Tower of Fantasy’s staged cutoff, or one of the online-service shutdowns? And does the move away from dedicated servers for Empulse or Splitgate change how you will play them?
