As 2024 draws to a close, Xbox gamers are bracing for the impending shutdown of servers for two notable titles. This announcement follows a year marked by multiple game closures, sparking interest and concern among players about the future of their favorite games.

Upcoming Server Closures

The Xbox community faces the shutdown of servers for two games before the end of December 2024. The planned closures come on the heels of several notable title discontinuations, including a series of Battlefield games announced previously in November, as well as other significant closures earlier this year, such as The Crew.

One of the titles affected is Friday The 13th: The Game. Although the game is slated to be delisted in December 2023, its servers are confirmed to remain operational until December 31, 2024. This could potentially imply a delay in the closure, as players await further confirmation.

Additionally, NBA 2K23, a classic entry in the popular basketball franchise, will see its servers shut down on December 31, 2024, impacting both the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S versions. Players have already begun to receive in-game warnings regarding this impending closure.

  • Friday The 13th: The Game (December 31, 2024)
  • NBA 2K23 (December 31, 2024)

Beyond December: Additional Closures and Delistings

The upcoming changes do not end with these two titles. Upcoming SEGA delistings set for December include a total of 12 games. This marks a significant adjustment for fans of titles like Crazy Taxi and NIGHTS into Dreams, as well as the comprehensive SEGA Genesis Classics collection.

Furthermore, golf enthusiasts should take note that EA Sports’ Rory McIlroy PGA Tour will also cease operations on January 16, 2025. This closure may seem reasonable, given the nearly ten years since the game’s launch.
