We thought thatCyberpunk 2077’slaunch was bad, butThe Day Beforehas beat them hands down, with its servers being shut down for good under two months since its launch.
It’s like a car crash you don’t want to watch but you do all the same because you can’t look away. Everyone is talking aboutPalworldright now, with a lot of focus on whether they have or haven’t ripped off a certainNintendofranchise, butThe Days Beforewas the controversy that dominated December last year.
Remember when we all sawthe Days Gonegameplay and were intrigued? Yeah, us neither.
Cast your minds back to December:The Days Beforehad just launched and, within a matter of days, waspulled from sale on Steam. As far as the worst game of 2023 goes, this one takes the top spot.

It was only a matter of time before the servers were shut down permanently, with that day having now arrived, only 46 days after the game’sSteamrelease. In an official statement shared on social media, the devs not only announced the closure of the servers but also of Fntastic Studio as well.
“Unfortunately,The Days Beforehas failed financially, and we lack the funds to continue. All income received is being used to pay off debts to our partners.” The statementcontinues, “We invested all our efforts, resources, and man-hours into the development ofThe Days Before, which was our first huge game […] but unfortunately, we don’t have the funding to continue the work.”
We doubt anyone will be sad to see the servers shut down. Still, it’s a memorable day in video game history, withThe Days Beforenow taking the crown of the worst game launch ever.
