Overview
- The Switch cloud edition stopped being playable after its servers were turned off on August 5, 2026, making the game unreinstallable for people who bought the cloud-only release.
- Cold Iron Studios told players in March that the game would be taken offline on August 5 but has not publicly offered full refunds to affected customers.
- Multiple outlets report that some owners were later offered a discount toward the upcoming Switch 2 release, though that compensation has been described as paying again for access rather than a refund.
- The title remains available as native downloads or physical copies on PC, PlayStation and Xbox, highlighting a platform gap where cloud-only ports can vanish while other versions stay playable.
- The shutdown has reignited debate about digital ownership, game preservation, and whether regulators or industry groups should require refunds or other remedies when server-dependent games become inaccessible.
