Bandai Namco to Delist and Shut Down Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs in 2025

The always-online Pac-Man battle royale relies on servers, leaving purchasers locked out once they go dark.

Overview

  • Digital sales end on November 1, 2025 across Nintendo eShop, PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, and Steam, with timing potentially varying by region.
  • Online services shut down on December 31, 2025, after which the game will no longer function for any players.
  • Bandai Namco announced the end of support on social media, offered thanks to players, and did not cite a reason for the decision.
  • The title is a 64-player, cross-platform release that requires a constant connection, meaning server closure eliminates access even for existing owners.
  • Originally a Stadia game from 2020, it launched on consoles and PC in May 2024 and remains available to buy until the scheduled delisting.
