February is just around the corner, and with it comes a slew of Xbox server shutdowns that players need to prepare for. To help you manage your achievement-hunting schedule, we’ve gathered all the games losing online support in February 2025.

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

Let’s take a closer look at what each game will face with these server closures.

Divine Knockout
This past October, Hi-Rez Studios announced a wave of layoffs and a strategic focus shift to Smite 2. Consequently, servers for both Divine Knockout and Realm Royale Reforged will shut down on February 17, 2025. If you haven’t grabbed all 19 achievements for Divine Knockout, now’s the time. You’ll need roughly eight hours to nab that coveted 1,000G.

Realm Royale Reforged
Another game affected by Hi-Rez Studios’ recent changes is Realm Royale Reforged. This online-only battle royale will also cease operations on February 17, 2025, discontinuing all 20 achievements. It’s estimated that achieving the full 1,000G will take about 15 hours, so check out our Realm Royale Reforged walkthrough for some guidance.

EA Sports UFC 3
EA has announced that after a solid five-year run, online services for EA Sports UFC 3 will end on February 17, 2025. With the server closure, 15 achievements will no longer be obtainable, many requiring a significant time investment. Though it’s been removed from the Microsoft Store, Game Pass Ultimate and EA Play subscribers can still enjoy the MMA action.

Hood: Outlaws and Legends
Set for closure on February 18, 2025, servers for Hood: Outlaws and Legends will be shut down. All 50 achievements in this entirely online PvPvE title will become unavailable. Should you want to add this completion to your collection, prepare to dedicate around 80 hours before the shutdown. Unfortunately, this game has been delisted from the Microsoft Store and was a digital exclusive, so only current owners can play.

Dark Alliance
Dark Alliance will bid farewell to its servers on February 24, 2025, meaning four online-only Xbox achievements will be discontinued. Additionally, Tuque Games and Wizards of the Coast plan to delist the action RPG from the Xbox store on the same day.

The Golf Club
Back in December, HB Studios and 2K Sports declared upcoming server closures for two legacy The Golf Club titles. Come February 28, 2025, The Golf Club’s servers will be shut down, locking away six online-only achievements. Since it’s no longer on the Xbox store, securing a physical copy is your best bet for completing the game.

The Golf Club 2
Following its predecessor, The Golf Club 2 will also experience a server shutdown on February 28, 2025, discontinuing four online achievements. With its digital version removed from the Microsoft Store, a physical copy becomes crucial for continued play.

KartRider: Drift
Announced by Nexon in August, KartRider: Drift will see its servers closed on February 28, 2025. Of its 28 achievements, 22 will be lost in the shutdown. Nexon has already pulled the game from the Xbox store.

Disco Dodgeball Remix
Lastly, Disco Dodgeball Remix will lose its online multiplayer features on February 28, 2025. Fortunately, there aren’t any online-specific achievements to hold you back, so you can complete this sports title at your own pace. However, keep in mind that Disco Dodgeball Remix will be delisted on February 28, 2025, with no physical copies ever released, making it vanish for good once removed from the Microsoft Store.

Adjust your gaming plans accordingly, and happy hunting!
