As February 2025 approaches, Xbox fans should brace themselves for a wave of server closures affecting several titles. If you’re on a quest to snag those last remaining achievements, we’ve compiled a list of the games losing online support next month to help you plan your gaming sessions effectively.
Upcoming Xbox Server Closures in February 2025
- Divine Knockout — February 17, 2025
- Realm Royale Reforged — February 17, 2025
- EA Sports UFC 3 — February 17, 2025

- KartRider: Drift — February 28, 2025
- Disco Dodgeball Remix — February 28, 2025
Now, let’s dive into what this means for each game one by one.
Divine Knockout
Back in October, Hi-Rez Studios faced layoffs and a refocus towards developing Smite 2, prompting the announcement of server shutdowns for both Divine Knockout and Realm Royale Reforged. As of February 17, 2025, all 19 achievements for Divine Knockout will be off the table. If you’re aiming for the full 1,000G, budget around eight hours to complete it.
Realm Royale Reforged
This game, another casualty of Hi-Rez’s company-wide restructure, will also see its servers close come February 17, 2025. Of its 20 achievements, all will become unavailable after this date. If completing this battle royale game is high on your list, you’ll need roughly 15 hours to seal the deal—our walkthrough guide might come in handy.
EA Sports UFC 3
After five years of takedowns and submissions, EA is retiring the servers for EA Sports UFC 3 on February 17, 2025. The shutdown will retire 15 achievements, some of which are quite time-consuming. The game might be delisted from the Microsoft Store, yet Game Pass Ultimate and EA Play subscribers still have access to it.
Hood: Outlaws and Legends
The game’s PvPvE servers are bowing out on February 18, 2025, leaving all 50 achievements for Hood: Outlaws and Legends unachievable thereafter. Those eyeing a full completion will need about 80 hours from now until closure, though it’s important to note the game is currently unavailable on the Microsoft Store as it was never released physically.
Dark Alliance
Come February 24, 2025, Dark Alliance will lose its servers, discontinuing four online-only achievements in the process. On the same day, Tuque Games and Wizards of the Coast will be delisting the action-RPG from the Xbox Store.
The Golf Club
In December, HB Studios and 2K Sports revealed the impending server closures for two older The Golf Club titles. On February 28, 2025, six online achievements for the original game will become inaccessible. A physical copy will be necessary for those keen on completing it, as it’s no longer available in the store.
The Golf Club 2
Similarly, The Golf Club 2 will lose four online-only achievements when its servers go offline on February 28, 2025. The sequel can only be pursued via a physical copy, having been delisted digitally.
KartRider: Drift
Nexon announced last August that it is pulling the plug on KartRider: Drift, the free-to-play racer, by February 28, 2025. Post-shutdown, 22 of its 28 achievements will be impossible to earn, and the game has already been removed from the Xbox Store.
Disco Dodgeball Remix
Finally, Disco Dodgeball Remix will end its online multiplayer capabilities on February 28, 2025, but the good news is, none of its achievements are tied to online play. However, once delisted on that same day, this digital-only title will make its final exit from the Microsoft Store.
With these impending server closures, it’s time to prioritize your gaming endeavors and maximize your achievement score before these games become memories.
