Overview
- EA took Anthem's servers offline on January 12, 2026, making the online-only title inaccessible on PC and consoles.
- The shutdown follows EA's July 3, 2025 notice that set the final date, halted in-game currency sales, and confirmed no refunds.
- EA never specified the exact switch-off time, leaving players uncertain about when access would cease on the final day.
- Some returning owners reported the EA App blocking digital reinstalls with “you do not own this item” errors, though disc installs had worked prior to the shutdown.
- Players shared farewells and final clips across social platforms, revisiting a game that launched in 2019, reviewed poorly, and saw active development end by 2021.
