Seven years after it was first released, one PlayStation exclusive will have its servers taken offline for good as of today.
Although the game will be celebrating its seven-year anniversary this October, it seems as though it won’t get that far after its shut down began back in December. The DLC was delisted from thePlayStationstore and as of today, is no longer available to purchase at all. Additionally, players will not be able to access its online mode but will still be able to play it offline as the game itself remains listed.
