Explore EA’s 2025 game shutdowns, including fan favorites and mobile hits. Say goodbye with final plays—relive the legacy before it’s gone.
As the digital dawn escalates, so does the twilight of many beloved gaming titles. This year, EA is swinging the axe on a host of games, leaving virtual fields and arenas a little emptier. Among the casualties are Rory McIlroy PGA Tour, shutting down mid-January, and The Simpsons: Tapped Out, bowing out just a week later.
The hits keep coming: UFC 3, NCAA 14, and Madden NFL 21 will soon be retired. This hefty lineup is taking its final bow in 2025, serving both nostalgia and a nudge to savor those last sessions.
EA Shutting Down Multiple Games in 2025
EA has officially announced the shutdown of 13 games in 2025, covering both consoles and mobile platforms. With many iconic titles on the list, fans are scrambling to make the most of their remaining time. Here’s a breakdown of what’s happening and when:
- January 16: Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is the first to go. This marks the end of its online features, leaving only offline play.
- January 24: The Simpsons: Tapped Out follows. This beloved mobile city-builder, a favorite among fans for years, will be unplayable.
- January 29: Seven EA mobile titles, including Blood & Glory: Immortals and Deer Hunter Classic, will disappear from the app stores and the online services.
- February 17: Console fans will feel the sting as UFC 3 shuts down, taking its competitive online modes offline.
- March 13: EA Sports UFC Mobile 2 and NCAA 14 join the list. NCAA 14 is a particular heartbreaker, given its cult status among college football fans.
- June 30: Finally, Madden NFL 21 bids farewell, marking the last planned shutdown of the year.
These shutdowns signal a broader strategy from EA, focusing on maintaining live-service games and more profitable ventures. Mobile titles, once dominating app store charts, are fading into memory. Meanwhile, console classics like NCAA 14 and The Simpsons: Tapped Out are leaving behind loyal communities.
Transitioning to newer platforms and titles makes sense from EA’s perspective. However, many fans thought this moment would never arrive as they bid farewell to many of their favorite titles.
