In a surprise move, Sony's PlayStation has delisted and shut down the servers for its live-service game, Destruction AllStars, which was released during the PS5's launch window. The game is no longer available for purchase, but players can still enjoy the arcade mode offline against bots. This sudden move, without a prior announcement, leaves players scrambling for final online matches. PlayStation notifications were sent to notify players of this change. Destruction AllStars, which came out in 2021, received mixed reviews and was largely rejected by early PS5 adopters despite being released during a game drought. Our review gave the game a 6/10, praising its action-packed chaos but criticizing its shallow experience and pointless on-foot gameplay. Developed by Lucid Games, a studio formed by ex-Bizarre Creations developers, Destruction AllStars was their only release since 2021. The team has since worked on other games like Sea of Thieves. This news comes just days after Bungie announced it would be winding down support for Destiny 2 and face significant layoffs. While these two instances aren't directly related, they signal that PlayStation's live-service efforts haven't been successful so far, with only Helldivers 2 and Gran Turismo 7 being their only successful live-service games to date. There are rumors circulating about Fairgames getting a re-reveal with a new name soon. Cade Onder, a freelancer for IGN's news team, reported on this story.
