It has been announced that old games from the Need for Speed series, one of the most established racing series in the gaming world, will be removed from digital stores and can no longer be purchased. According to ea games, the online servers of these games, which we cannot buy digitally, will also be turned off and the games will be shelved.
Removing old Need for Speed games from digital stores
When we look at the list, we see that games such as Need For Speed: Carbon, Shift, Shift 2: Unleashed, Undercover and The Run will be removed from digital stores. In addition to Xbox live and PSN, the statement said it would also be removed from other online stores. So apart from these stores, we can say that games will probably be removed from other stores known on the PC side. The statement said the games indicated that they could no longer be purchased as of May 31.
Those who have these games will still be able to play, but the features on the online side will not be availableas of August 31st. However, when we look at Steam, we see that games like Shift are still listed, although most games on the list are not included.
EA Games officials said in a statement that it was never easy to unplug existing games, but they had to do so to focus on the future of the series and new games. In 2020, there were news of a new Need for Speed game entrusted to Criterion. We can probably say that we have a very good chance of seeing this new game at the EA Play event.
