Ubisoft is About to Shut Down the Online Services for 15 Games
A drawback of the digital, online-focused gaming industry is that games and their associated multiplayer services can be shut down forever whenever their publishing company no longer wants to support them. So is the case with 15 Ubisoft titles, all of which are set to have their online services shut down on September 1. In some cases this will mean no longer being able to play a game's online multiplayer, in other cases it means losing access to DLC. And in one extreme example, it means losing access to the game entirely.
On September 1, Ubisoft will be ending online services for Anno 2070, Assassin's Creed 2, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Assassin's Creed Revelations, Assassin's Creed 3, Assassin's Creed Liberation HD, Driver San Francisco, Far Cry 3, Ghost Recon Future Soldier, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, Rayman Legends, Silent Hunter 5, Space Junkies, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, and ZombiU. The PC versions of all these games will be impacted, as will the PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii U versions of the games, when applicable. Luckily, Ubisoft does not seem to be shutting down online services for PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PS5, or Xbox Series X games just yet.

However, the DLC should remain available for those that own Assassin's Creed Brotherhood on PS3 and Xbox 360. This is the case across the board, with PC gamers getting the short end of the stick.
