As February 2025 approaches, Xbox players are bracing for a wave of server shutdowns, impacting online support for several games. If you’re determined to earn those achievements before they’re gone, here’s a helpful list of what’s on the chopping block this month.
### Upcoming Xbox Server Shutdowns in February 2025
– Divine Knockout — February 17, 2025
– Realm Royale Reforged — February 17, 2025
– EA Sports UFC 3 — February 17, 2025
– Hood: Outlaws and Legends — February 18, 2025
– Dark Alliance — February 24, 2025
– The Golf Club — February 28, 2025
– The Golf Club 2 — February 28, 2025
– KartRider: Drift — February 28, 2025
– Disco Dodgeball Remix — February 28, 2025
Now, let’s dive into what this means for each individual game and their achievements.
### Divine Knockout
Hi-Rez Studios took a major shift when they decided to slim down their workforce back in October, focusing their energies on Smite 2. This restructuring means both Divine Knockout and Realm Royale Reforged will no longer have online servers as of February 17, 2025. Without the servers, 19 Divine Knockout achievements will become impossible to earn. If you’re gunning for that 1,000 Gamerscore, plan for about eight hours of gameplay to complete this action-packed fighter.
### Realm Royale Reforged
Another casualty of Hi-Rez Studios’ changes, Realm Royale Reforged, will also see its online services end on February 17, 2025. This battle royale boasts 20 achievements that will no longer be attainable. You’ll need around 15 hours to snag the full 1,000G. If you need a roadmap, our detailed Realm Royale Reforged walkthrough has got you covered.
### EA Sports UFC 3
EA Sports UFC 3 has enjoyed a solid five years, but its online servers will bow out on February 17, 2025. With the servers gone, 15 achievements will be lost, and some will require a good amount of time to unlock. Although the game is no longer available on the Microsoft Store, Game Pass Ultimate and EA Play subscribers can still enjoy this MMA experience.
### Hood: Outlaws and Legends
Mark your calendar for February 18, 2025, because Hood: Outlaws and Legends is set to close its online operations. As an entirely online game, all 50 achievements will disappear after this date. To polish off this adventure, you’re looking at investing 80 hours, but since it’s only available digitally and has been delisted, you’ll need a pre-existing copy to play.
### Dark Alliance
Prepare to bid farewell to the online features of Dark Alliance on February 24, 2025. This will affect four achievements tied to Xbox online play. Moreover, Tuque Games and Wizards of the Coast will be removing this action-RPG from the Xbox store the same day, marking the end of its digital availability.
### The Golf Club
HB Studios and 2K Sports announced the planned server shutdowns for The Golf Club series back in December. The original game’s online services will cease on February 28, 2025, taking with it six achievements. Unfortunately, with the game delisted from the Xbox store, finding a physical copy is your only option if you want to complete this title.
### The Golf Club 2
The sequel shares a similar fate; The Golf Club 2’s online servers will close on February 28, 2025, leaving four achievements in the past. Like its predecessor, it is no longer available on the Microsoft Store, so tracking down a physical version will be necessary.
### KartRider: Drift
Nexon decided in August to wind down operations for KartRider: Drift, and its servers will go offline by February 28, 2025. Of its 28 achievements, 22 will become unachievable. The game has already been pulled from the Xbox store, leaving players with the same predicament of needing a physical copy.
### Disco Dodgeball Remix
Finally, there’s Disco Dodgeball Remix, which is losing its online multiplayer features on February 28, 2025. Luckily, this game won’t leave you in a panic over unattainable achievements since all of them are possible offline. However, it will vanish from the Microsoft Store, and without a physical release, ensure you have this title before it disappears for good.
With this roundup, you can now plan your gaming session to maximize your achievements hunt before these titles enter the next phase of their lifecycle.
