Sony has announced that Destruction AllStars, a vehicular combat game launched in February 2021 as a PlayStation 5 exclusive, will be permanently shut down on November 25, 2026. The game, which received mixed reviews and struggled with performance, will lose all online multiplayer functionality on May 26, 2026. Players will have until the shutdown to use their in-game currency, Destruction Points, as no refunds will be issued. Initially priced at $70, the game was later downgraded to $20, with PS Plus subscribers gaining free access. Despite receiving over a year of updates, the game failed to attract a sustainable player base, leading to the introduction of bots in matches. The developer, Lucid Games, has since been acquired by Tencent's Lightspeed Studios. The shutdown of Destruction AllStars highlights the challenges Sony faces with its live-service offerings, as it coincides with other struggles within its gaming portfolio, including the upcoming final update for Destiny 2 and the troubled development of Bungie's Marathon.
