10 Games That Are Getting KILLED Soon

10 Games That Are Getting Killed SOON

Welcome to MojoPlays, and today, we’re taking a look at 10 games that are getting killed very soon. Hope you clocked in some time with them before

“Mario Kart Tour” (2019)

At the time of writing, “Mario Kart Tour” is approaching the end of its seven-year-long circuit. In summer 2026, Nintendo announced that the mobile game based on its flagship kart-racing franchise is retiring on September 30, 2026, and all means to purchase premium currency has been entirely disabled. With its gacha mechanics, battle pass system, and mundane integration of player-based bots instead of true online gameplay, “Mario Kart Tour” was widely regarded as the lowest point in the series history, which is saying something considering what we went through with “Mario Kart 7”. Regardless of how you felt about “Tour”, the game has been preserved in some way; you can still play through all of the game’s courses by purchasing the Booster Course DLC for “Mario Kart 8 Deluxe”.

“Let It Die” (2016)

In case you forgot about this game, “Let It Die” was Grasshopper Manufacture’s foray into online live service games. Though it didn’t explode in the same way so many live service games did, it garnered a small, but dedicated fanbase as the years waned on. It’s honestly surprising that the game has remained online over the last decade despite never getting that big of a following. But the bell tolled in March 2026 as Grasshopper announced the game’s servers would be shut down in Fall 2026. Luckily, if you want to keep playing the game or never got the chance to play (over the past 10 years, somehow), “Let It Die” will be updated to be playable offline. And if you have a PS5, the game does run a lot smoother there than it ever did on PS4.

“Tower of Fantasy” (2021)

For those of you who may be playing “Tower of Fantasy”, no, the game itself is not shutting down. However, those of you playing on PlayStation 4 will be affected. On April 7, 2026, it was announced that the PS4 version of the game would be delisted immediately with servers shutting down on October 20, 2026. Services on other platforms, those being PlayStation 5, PC, and mobile devices, will remain unaffected. At the time of this video, “Tower of Fantasy” has been catering to hundreds of thousands of monthly active users since 2021, having gone through various updates, expansions, and crossover events. So, perhaps the casualties afflicted by the PS4 version shuttering will be minimal or even less.

“Firewall Ultra” (2023)

Whereas “Firewall: Zero Hour” became a major hit on PlayStation VR, its sequel did not get to enjoy a prosperous life. “Firewall Ultra” will be shutting down on September 17, 2026, more than three years after its release. The reason for this can likely be attributed to the poor commercial performance of the PlayStation VR 2. Since the hardware’s release in February 2023, the PSVR2 failed to gain any traction even within the hardcore side of the PlayStation fanbase. “Firewall Ultra” was a casualty in the headset’s low sales, and it’s a crying shame because both “Firewall” games were excellent in how they made tactical FPS gameplay work in the realm of VR.

“Aliens: Fireteam Elite” (2021)

There’s not much reason to panic on this one. Just like the situation with “Tower of Fantasy”, there is only cause for concern if you play “Aliens: Fireteam Elite” on one particular platform. In March 2026, those playing “Fireteam Elite” on Nintendo Switch were greeted with a depressing in-game message which stated that the game was being shuttered. Not only was the game already delisted from the Nintendo Switch digital storefront, servers would shut down on August 5, 2026. Though no reason was given, it’s safe to assume that “Fireteam Elite” likely did not sell well on Switch and therefore, there was very little reason to keep the game online over there. Other platforms will remain unaffected.

“Apex Legends” (2019)

“Fireteam Elite” is not the only Switch casualty on this list, and spoiler - “Apex Legends” won’t be the last one. However, it is hard to believe that anyone is playing a graphically demanding PvP shooter on a low-end console like the Nintendo Switch. Regardless of how one may feel, yes, “Apex Legends” has been delisted and will be shutting down on Nintendo Switch on August 4, 2026. That isn’t to say that the battle royale will be completely absent from Nintendo’s ecosystem as it is currently available on Nintendo Switch 2. And yeah, it plays way better over there. Just make sure you have roughly 80GB available to install it.

“Kingdom Hearts: Cloud Edition” (2022)

For a brief moment, game companies like Square Enix thought they could get away with selling “cloud versions” of some of their games. By dropping a whopping forty bucks, you could experience the magic of the “Kingdom Hearts” story by streaming it to your Nintendo Switch. Well, that probably didn’t pan out as well as everyone thought. If for whatever reason, you want to relive the lag and input latency, you have until June 9, 2027 to enjoy it. There is a good reason as to why this delisting is even happening in the first place: “Kingdom Hearts” is actually getting native ports in October 2026, and the whole series will be available on both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. So, the cloud versions have become redundant.

“Counter-Strike Nexon” (2014)

Over the last twelve years, “Counter-Strike Nexon” tried to rope players into enjoying the tactical military shooter in another way outside of pure competitive PvP. “Nexon” was essentially the “Roblox” or “Fortnite” of the IP, focused on user-generated content with some massive updates here and there. Unfortunately, the last handful of years have been rough for “Nexon” as players report unstable performance, lackluster game modes, and a pay-to-win monetization model. “Counter-Strike Nexon” will be no more as of September 2026. Some players have paid their respects. Others have said “good riddance”.

“Destruction AllStars” (2021)

Yet another live service game crops up on the list, but this one has been dying a slow and painful death. Over the last couple of years since the playerbase abandoned it, “Destruction AllStars” has suffered from severe technical issues with its online matchmaking. We were unable to play online for so long that many believed the game had already been shuttered. But Sony put out the official word in May 2026, stating that the game was delisted, premium currency was no longer purchaseable, and servers would be disconnected in November 2026. But what’s unique about this situation is that the only way to experience the single player campaigns is to buy them with the premium currency. So, “Destruction AllStars” is about to lose a LOT of its content.

Various PS3 & PS Vita Titles

This may be cheating because we’re talking about an entire platform, but we can’t ignore this one. After more than twenty years of service, the PlayStation 3 digital storefront will be getting its plug pulled in June 2027. We’ve known this was coming since 2021 when Sony first tried shutting the storefront down and was met with waves of outrage. But what makes this closure a huge deal is just how many games are still stranded on the platform. Games like “Tokyo Jungle”, “Starhawk”, “Heavenly Sword”, and 2012’s “Twisted Metal” have not been brought forward under any capacity. And then, you have PS2 games like “Persona 3 FES” that haven’t been brought forward to any piece of hardware since the PS3 days. Between this and the all-digital future Sony’s pushing, we’re not sure how much longer some of us will be in this ecosystem.
