PlayStation has sent out Emails announcing that one of their exclusive games, Destruction AllStars, is has been delisted, effective immediately. You can no longer purchase the game. And if you can’t remember that Destruction AllStars was, don’t feel bad – nobody does.
The multiplayer servers will remain offline. If that sentence seems odd to you, that’s because Destruction AllStars servers have actually been offline since 2024 due to “technical difficulties” with zero signs of anyone trying to fix the issue.
“Due to ongoing technical issues, multiplayer services for Destruction AllStars on PlayStation®5 consoles shall remain offline and are no longer available,” says the Email.
The game’s servers will remain online until Wednesday 25 November 2026 at 15:00 UTC , allowing anyone who owns the game to continue playing the singleplayer modes. On that date, all support is being discontinued, meaning only the Arcade Mode singleplayer challenges will be playable. Although the Email notes that “functionality and player experience may be impacted due to the server shutdown.”
Any virtual currency players have purchased will be spendable up until 25 November as well.
Let’s be honest here: this is not shocking news. Destruction AllStars failed pretty much as soon as it launched. Player counts dropped by 80% in the first week, and after a few months the developers had to add bots to matches. It was a live-service disaster, the kind that would only be topped yars later by Concord.
In June of 2022, Lucid Games said they would continue to support the game. And then they basically never talked about it again. It’s social media went dead, no new updates were released. A few months later, Lucid announced they were working with Rare on Sea of Thieves as a support studio. Destruction AllStars was not mentioned.
And then in May 2024, the servers inexplicably just stopped working. Sony never addressed it, and neither did Lucid games. The only time it has been mentioned was in today’s Email from Sony.
