    Here are the developers’ tweets about previous server shutdowns of Dark Souls games.

    We have determined that we will not be able to support online services for the PC version of Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition that was released in 2012, due to an aging system.
    We apologize for the long wait and ask for your understanding in this matter.

    It’s not just FromSoftware/Bandai Namco that’s shutting down servers of popular EA games from the PS3 and Xbox 360 era. More titles like Crysis 3, Dead Space 2, Battlefield 1943, Battlefield Bad Company, Battlefield Bad Company 2, Dante’s Inferno, and some FIFA games were/will be shut down before the end of 2023. FIFA games include FIFA 18, FIFA 19, FIFA 20 and FIFA 21. Earlier this year, Half Life 2 for PS3 was taken off from its online services.

    Dark Souls 2 was originally released in 2014 but has become a cult classic for soulslike fans. Its level design, exploration, weapon variety, and character builds were appreciated and its challenging fights remain memorable. Once you invest yourself in the game, its deep lore, detailed environment, mechanics and world cohesion will keep you engaged.

    A few weeks after the game was released, it had already sold more than a million copies in the US and EU and after a year, the number had reached more than 2.5 million copies globally. Since DS2 was a critical and commercial success, a sequel, Dark Souls 3, was released in 2016.

    Microsoft has also announced that the Xbox 360 marketplace is going to be shut down in 2024, which is almost two decades from its launch in 2005. Specifically, the Xbox 360 Store and the Xbox 360 Marketplace (marketplace.xbox.com) will be retired on July 29, 2024. If you’d like to know more about how to continue playing the games you’ve previously purchased, as well as how to continue watching your Microsoft Movies & TV content, here’s an FAQ section.
