Electronic Arts players should prepare for server shutdowns, as several titles are set to close soon with even more shutting down permanently later this year. Electronic Arts maintains a public list of upcoming closures, giving players time to visit these games before online services disappear forever. While frequent closures are disappointing, having an advance warning is helpful for fans.

Electronic Arts has already closed multiple games this year, starting with Anthem in January. Most shutdowns involve sports and racing games, likely caused by expiring license agreements and shrinking player bases as fans transition to newer entries. However, the next title losing support is a battle royale game.

- Apex Legends on Nintendo Switch original version: August fourth
- NHL twenty-two: August thirty-first- NHL twenty-three: August thirty-first- Grid Legends: September eleventh
Electronic Arts confirmed that the original Nintendo Switch port of Apex Legends will close on August fourth. The version originally launched in twenty twenty-one, but performance limitations kept it from reaching the popularity seen on other platforms. As developer Respawn Entertainment continues making major updates, maintaining the original Switch release is no longer practical. Closing support allows resources to go toward active platforms instead.

Players who upgraded to Nintendo Switch two can still access the game, as that version will remain fully supported. The Nintendo Switch two edition features major performance improvements and is safe from any upcoming shutdowns. Fans using the newer hardware can continue playing smoothly, while players remaining on the original console will lose access on August fourth.

Apex Legends is not the only title closing in August. Electronic Arts will also shut down servers for NHL twenty-two and NHL twenty-three on August thirty-first. Online modes will stop working after that date, though offline play remains available.

Finally, Grid Legends servers will go dark on September eleventh. Additional shutdowns will likely be announced in the coming months, so players should keep an eye out for future updates.
