Epic Games has announced they are ending online services and servers of many of their older titles.

Here’s a list of all the affect titles:


  • 1000 Tiny Claws
  • Dance Central 1-3
    • Note: Dance Central VR online multiplayer will remain available
  • Green Day: Rock Band
  • Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess
  • Rock Band 1-3
    • Note: Rock Band 4 online multiplayer will remain available
  • The Beatles: Rock Band
  • Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars
  • Unreal Gold
  • Unreal II: The Awakening
  • Unreal Tournament 2003
  • Unreal Tournament 2004
  • Unreal Tournament 3
    • Note: We have plans to bring back online features via Epic Online Services in the future.
  • Unreal Tournament: Game of the Year Edition

Epic Games also state multiple games will be delisted from all digital storefronts. This includes the Mac and Linux versions of Hatoful Boyfriend and Hatoful Boyfriend: Holiday Star, along with the mobile game DropMix. Those who already own the content will still be able to access them.

However the company also revealed Unreal Tournament 3 X, which has popped up on Steam, but is stated to appear on other platforms such as Epic Games’ own storefront.

The new version of the classic shooter will be free-to-play with no microtransactions, which serves as a means to make up for the newfound void after shutting down the servers of other Unreal Tournament games.
