With February right around the corner, Xbox gamers are facing a slew of server shutdowns that might affect their achievement-hunting adventures. To help you navigate these changes, we’ve compiled a list of all the games losing online support in February 2025—a crucial guide for anyone looking to maximize their gaming milestones.

Upcoming Xbox Server Shutdowns for February 2025

• Divine Knockout – February 17, 2025
• Realm Royale Reforged – February 17, 2025
• EA Sports UFC 3 – February 17, 2025

• Disco Dodgeball Remix – February 28, 2025

Now, let’s dive deeper into what this means for each game:

Divine Knockout

Hi-Rez Studios revealed plans in October to shift focus to Smite 2, leading to layoffs and server shutdowns for both Divine Knockout and Realm Royale Reforged on February 17, 2025. If you’re eyeing those 19 achievements in Divine Knockout, you should know that they’ll become unavailable once the servers close, and you’ll need about eight hours to unlock the full 1,000G.

Realm Royale Reforged

Also caught up in Hi-Rez’s restructuring is Realm Royale Reforged, whose servers will go offline the same day. With 20 achievements to grab, a completionist should expect to invest around 15 hours. Don’t miss out on our Realm Royale Reforged walkthrough to help you along the way.

EA Sports UFC 3

After five solid years, EA is pulling the plug on EA Sports UFC 3’s online services on February 17, 2025. This move will render 15 achievements unattainable. Although already removed from the Microsoft Store, subscribers to Game Pass Ultimate and EA Play can still enjoy the game for the time being.

Hood: Outlaws and Legends

Hood: Outlaws and Legends will see its servers shut down on February 18, 2025. As it’s an exclusively online multiplayer game, all 50 achievements will vanish with the servers. Planning to complete it? You have about 80 hours of gaming ahead. Since it’s been delisted and was only sold digitally, new players are out of luck unless they already own it.

Dark Alliance

Dark Alliance is set to lose its servers on February 24, 2025, which will result in the discontinuation of four online achievements. Along with the server shutdown, the game will also be delisted from the Xbox store on the same day.

The Golf Club

HB Studios and 2K Sports announced in December the shutdown of servers for The Golf Club on February 28, 2025, leading to the end of six online-specific achievements. While it’s no longer in the Xbox store, hunting down a physical copy is your best bet for completion.

The Golf Club 2

Similarly, The Golf Club 2 will follow suit with four achievements becoming unavailable post-server closure on February 28, 2025. The digital version is no longer available, so a physical copy is necessary for those digital owners.

KartRider: Drift

Back in August, Nexon declared it would be discontinuing KartRider: Drift on February 28, 2025. This shutdown affects 22 of the 28 achievements. With the game delisted from the Xbox store, you’ll need to have it in your library before it’s gone.

Disco Dodgeball Remix

Ending our list is Disco Dodgeball Remix, losing its online multiplayer features on February 28, 2025. However, you can breathe a sigh of relief as there are no online-only achievements to chase. Once removed from the Microsoft Store, though, it won’t be accessible anymore since no physical copies exist.

Time to set your gaming priorities straight to catch these achievements before they’re gone for good!
