Xbox set to lose 2 games for good as servers shut down

You have roughly three weeks left to play these before they're gone ... permanently

Two Xbox titles are permanently shutting down for good when the servers turn off next month, and I’m frankly surprised that either of these weren’t popular enough to stick around for good.

Games get delisted and servers shut down all the time, but it’s still baffling when it happens. All the work, time and money that goes into developing a title just seems like such a weird thing to discard, and yet it’s oddly commonplace in this day and age.

It’s even more baffling when it happens to a franchise as established as something like DC Comics however, because how the hell is Batman not popular enough to keep a game afloat these days?

As Pure Xbox’s Fraser Gilbert notes in their article, two pretty famous Xbox titles will be disappearing for good at the end of May… and while I kind of understand one of them, I really, really don’t understand the other.

ICYMI: Oblivion Remastered recently dropped on Xbox Game Pass.

The one I do understand is Dauntless, the 2018 free to play RPG from developer and publisher Phoenix Labs.

I’ve not played this one for myself, so I can’t comment on its quality, but that’s kind of the reason I understand why this one is on the way out. I frankly forgot it even existed in the first place.

The one that straight up confused me is MultiVersus. I know we’ve known the game was on the way out for a while now, but the hype around this game during its beta was unreal… and yet, it apparently fizzled into nothing not long after launch.

This is a game that features all the most famous DC characters such as Batman, Wonder Woman and The Joker, Rick and Morty, Velma from Scooby Doo, Bugs Bunny... man even LeBron James is in this thing, and you're telling me it flopped?

Here’s hoping they manage to repackage the work poured into both of these games somewhere down the line…
