EA said this move, which was announced and implemented on the same day, is in preparation for the retirement of the online services for these games, which is set for 31st August. Until then, you can still play and race your friends online. But from 1st September onwards, you can play offline only.
Need for Speed The Run
Additionally, their in-game stores for added content have also been closed.
This is all in preparation for the online server shutdown that is set to take place on 31st August 2021, meaning you can only play these games offline after that point. This will include both online multiplayer and online features, like Rivals.
Need for Speed’s community manager explained:
Decisions to retire games are never made easy, but we are now shifting gears to focus on the future of Need for Speed. The development teams and operational staff have put a lot of time and passion into the development, creation, release and upkeep of the game over the years, and we love to see you play. But the number of players has come to a point where it’s no longer feasible to continue the work behind the scenes required to keep Need for Speed Carbon, Need for Speed Undercover, Need for Speed Shift, Need for Speed Shift 2: Unleashed and Need for Speed The Run up and running.
