Overview

• EA has confirmed that it will discontinue all online support for Need for Speed: Rivals on October 7, 2025, across PS4, Xbox One, PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
• After the shutdown, multiplayer modes, leaderboards and online-only achievements will be permanently inaccessible while single-player content remains playable.
• The closure notice was quietly added to EA’s Online Services Shutdown list without a formal press release, reflecting cost considerations against low player engagement.
• Fans are coordinating final online sessions through community forums to complete online-only achievements such as Friendly Race and Buddy Bust before servers go dark.
• The decision has strengthened momentum for the Stop Killing Games movement, which has now surpassed one million signatures calling for game preservation laws.
