Let’s dive into the specifics of how each game will be impacted:
Divine Knockout
Hi-Rez Studios, the folks behind Divine Knockout, announced layoffs last October, steering their focus towards Smite 2. Consequentially, they’ll be shutting down servers for Divine Knockout and Realm Royale Reforged on February 17, 2025. Once this happens, all 19 achievements in Divine Knockout will no longer be obtainable. Thinking about grabbing that 1,000G? You’ll need roughly 8 hours to complete it.
Realm Royale Reforged
Realm Royale Reforged also finds itself on the chopping block as part of Hi-Rez Studio’s restructuring. This battle royale game, entirely reliant on online play, features 20 achievements that will become unavailable after February 17, 2025. If you want to gather the 1,000G, it’s estimated to take you around 15 hours. For guidance, our walkthrough can be a helpful companion.
EA Sports UFC 3
EA Sports UFC 3 will see its online services come to a halt on February 17, 2025, after a respectable five-year journey. When the servers go, so will 15 achievements, many of which demand substantial time investments to unlock. Although the game is no longer available in the Microsoft Store, subscribers of Game Pass Ultimate and EA Play can still access this MMA title.
Hood: Outlaws and Legends
February 18, 2025, marks the closure of servers for Hood: Outlaws and Legends, knocking out all 50 of its achievements as this online multiplayer experience is strictly internet-dependent. Would you like the complete set in your gamer profile? Prepare to dedicate around 80 hours before servers bid farewell. With the game delisted from Microsoft Store, only those who own it can continue to play.
Dark Alliance
Dark Alliance will face its server shutdown on February 24, 2025, which means four of its online-only achievements will no longer be accessible. Additionally, Tuque Games and Wizards of the Coast have stated that the game will be delisted from the Xbox store on the same day.
The Golf Club
The Golf Club by HB Studios and 2K Sports will see its servers close on February 28, 2025, ending access to six online-only achievements. The game’s been removed from the Xbox store, so you’ll need a physical copy if you aim to secure those achievements.
The Golf Club 2
Similarly, The Golf Club 2 will have four online-only achievements discontinued after the server closure on February 28, 2025. Like its predecessor, it’s been delisted from the digital store, necessitating a physical copy if it’s not already in your digital library.
KartRider: Drift
Nexon announced back in August that the popular racing game KartRider: Drift will be ceasing operations on February 28, 2025. Out of its 28 achievements, 22 will become unavailable post-shutdown. The game is already off the Xbox store roster.
Disco Dodgeball Remix
Lastly, Disco Dodgeball Remix will part ways with its online multiplayer component on February 28, 2025. Fortunately, none of its achievements are tied to online gameplay, so you can complete it at your own pace. However, it will be completely removed from the Microsoft Store on that date, and with no physical editions available, it will be lost to digital oblivion.
Now is the time to strategize and play through these titles, as many of their features will soon be part of gaming history. Make sure you’re ready to tackle these achievements before they’re gone for good!
