EA Shutting Down Four Games Forever in October
EA, aka Electronic Arts, is set to shut down four different games in October across PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo devices.

EA’s pulling the plug on four of its games this October, and once they’re gone, they’re gone for good. The shutdown schedule is:
- October 6: NHL 21
- October 7: Need for Speed Rivals (the 2013 racing entry with a middling 75–80 Metacritic score)
- October 20: Madden NFL 22
- October 30: FIFA 23
All online services will cease across PC, PlayStation (4 & 5), Xbox (One & Series X/S) and Nintendo platforms (Switch & future Switch 2). EA hasn’t explained why, but it usually boils down to licensing and server costs. After the cutoff, there’s no coming back—unless the nostalgia gods bless NFS Rivals with a future remaster (and even that’s a big “maybe”).
