Ubisoft has released quite a few games with online capabilities in the past. Most of these games are fan favorites and best sellers. However, all good things must end, as Ubisoft announced that it would shut down the online services for quite a few of its older games. Keep reading to learn more about what games will be affected.

On their official site, Ubisoft said that the shutdown of online services for older games is not something they take lightly. Sadly, it is a necessity because the technology behind these services is becoming obsolete. As such, shutting down the online services of older games is a must. The original schedule for the shutdown was the 1st of September, 2022. However, the team at Ubisoft worked to see if there was something they could do to reduce disruption. As such, they moved it to this Saturday, October 1, 2022.

Ubisoft mentioned that other than the online services, like multiplayer and online co-op, they will also shutdown the single-player downloadable content (DLC). That means that once the online service for the game is shut down, players will no longer be able to download the DLCs for the affected games. Players have until the shutdown to download and activate any and all DLCs they have for the affected games. Once activated, the player can keep enjoying it. Should they uninstall the DLCs, however, they will not be able to recover them.

In total, 14 games will be affected by the shutdown.
