Five classic Need for Speed games have been permanently delist
Five classic Need for Speed games have been permanently delist
A collection of Need for Speed games has been pulled from digital storefronts by EA.
In a post on Reddit, community manager Max Myrus told fans that the "sun is setting on some older NFS titles." As of yesterday, May 31, Need for Speed Carbon, Need for Speed Undercover, Need for Speed Shift, Need for Speed Shift 2: Unleashed, and Need for Speed: The Run have been removed from sale, meaning players will no longer be able to purchase them, and their in-game stores have closed.
Myrus says the decision has been made in preparation for the retirement of the games' online services, which are due to go offline on August 31. Until then, players will be able to continue to race online, but from September they'll be limited to offline features. Myrus also claims that EA is "shifting gears to focus on the future of Need for Speed," meaning "it's no longer feasible to continue the work behind the scenes" to keep the titles running for their smaller audiences. More recent games, starting from 2012's Need for Speed Most Wanted, will remain available.
