Five More EA Games Will Close Their Servers In November 2024

(Update - Thu 3rd Oct, 2024): We're now just about a month away from these games going offline for good on Xbox, so here's a quick reminder before they're no longer playable! FIFA 22 goes offline on November 4th, while the Xbox 360 versions of Battlefield 3, Battlefield 4 and Battlefield Hardline all go offline on November 7th. Since we covered these back in June, EA has added NBA Live 18 to the November 7th list as well.

In terms of the 360 titles here, Battlefield 4 and Hardline are delisted now due to Microsoft's Xbox 360 store closure back in July, but you can get them on disc of course. As for Battlefield 3, that's still live on EA Play / Game Pass Ultimate at the time of writing and should remain playable for the next month or so - it's backwards compatible as well!

  • FIFA 22 (November 4)
  • Battlefield 3 (November 7)
  • Battlefield 4 - Xbox 360 Version (November 7)
  • Battlefield Hardline - Xbox 360 Version (November 7)
  • NBA Live 18 (November 7)

(Original Story - Tue 11th Jun, 2024): EA has announced that three more Xbox 360 Battlefield games will be closing their doors in November 2024 - following a swathe of Battlefield closures that happened in late 2023. This time around, the Xbox 360 versions of Battlefield Hardline, Battlefield 4 and Battlefield 3 will go offline on November 7th this year.

The first two of these losses don't feel like a huge deal - Battlefield 4 and Hardline both have much-superior Xbox One versions that now run with FPS Boost to boot. Battlefield 3 is the big loss here, as the console version is locked to the Xbox 360 era and will go fully offline on console this November.
