Ubisoft has announced that the online services of many games currently available on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PC, iMac, Xbox 360, and Xbox One are going to be shut down. While it's a rather normal practice, Ubisoft is also going to pull the plug on games that launched just a year ago! Yes, if you bought Just Dance 2018-2014's Wii U, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 editions, you'll be unable to use online features really soon.
On November 19th 2018, Ubisoft is going to shut down not only the aforementioned Just Dance games' servers, but also I Am Alive (PC), Tom Clancy’s EndWar (PC), Splinter Cell Double Agent (PC), Assassin's Creed II (MAC), and Rayman 3 HD (PS3, X360). According to Ubisoft’s support staff, the publisher is "constantly assessing what’s needed to deliver the best possible online services for Ubisoft’s customers."
Ubisoft has also confirmed that those older game have smaller online audiences and shutting servers down is a necessary part of the process that allows Ubisoft's IT crew to focus on delivering great online experiences to the vast majority of customers who are playing newer, more popular titles. The multiplayer online services for the titles will be shut down but the solo features will remain available.
