EA is shutting down five games this month, so anyone interested in enjoying their online features should be sure to do so ASAP. EA has shut down all kinds of games in 2025, with one of the more heartbreaking shutdowns kicking the year off and starting things off on a bad note.
It’s sad whenever an EA game, or any game for that matter, is shut down, but some shutdowns definitely have a bigger impact than others. At the start of 2025, The Simpsons: Tapped Out mobile game was shut down, prompting a petition that garnered thousands of signatures and videos from fans asking EA to reconsider. Unfortunately, efforts to keep The Simpsons: Tapped Out alive failed, and the game’s servers ceased operation in January of this year.
The EA shutdowns have continued at a steady pace ever since, and now another batch of games is on the chopping block. In total, five EA games are confirmed to be shutting down in November 2025, with four of them getting the boot on November 8. Come November 8, EA fans will have to say goodbye to Dirt Showdown, Dirt 3, Grid Autosport, and Grid 2. Needless to say, November 8 is going to be a brutal day for fans of EA’s racing games. Offline modes for the games will still be available, but all online multiplayer functionality will cease to exist.
