With February just around the corner, Xbox players should gear up for a busy month as several game servers are scheduled to close, impacting achievement hunters. Let’s go over the games that will lose online support in February 2025, so you can prioritize your gaming time accordingly.
### February 2025’s Scheduled Xbox Server Closures:
– Divine Knockout — February 17, 2025
– Realm Royale Reforged — February 17, 2025
– EA Sports UFC 3 — February 17, 2025
– Hood: Outlaws and Legends — February 18, 2025
– Dark Alliance — February 24, 2025
– The Golf Club — February 28, 2025
– The Golf Club 2 — February 28, 2025
– KartRider: Drift — February 28, 2025
– Disco Dodgeball Remix — February 28, 2025
Here’s everything you need to know about each game affected by these closures:
#### Divine Knockout
Hi-Rez Studios announced back in October it was making layoffs and shifting focus to Smite 2. Consequently, they decided to close servers for Divine Knockout and Realm Royale Reforged on February 17, 2025. This means all 19 achievements in Divine Knockout will no longer be obtainable. If you’re aiming to snag that 1,000G, it’s estimated that you’ll need about eight hours to complete the task.
#### Realm Royale Reforged
This battle royale, another casualty of Hi-Rez Studios’ reshuffling, will also lose its servers on February 17. The game features 20 achievements that will become inaccessible, and if you’re aiming for the full 1,000G completion, it’s estimated to require roughly 15 hours of gameplay.

#### EA Sports UFC 3
After a solid five years, EA will pull the plug on its online services for EA Sports UFC 3 on February 17, 2025. The server shutdown will render 15 achievements unavailable, many of which demand a serious investment of time to unlock. Although it’s been delisted from the Microsoft Store, fans with Game Pass Ultimate or EA Play subscriptions can still enjoy this MMA title.
#### Hood: Outlaws and Legends
Mark your calendars for February 18, 2025, as this date marks the end for Hood: Outlaws and Legends’ servers. As this is an exclusively online multiplayer game, all 50 achievements will be rendered unobtainable post-closure. To wrap up Hood: Outlaws and Legends on your account, brace yourself for about 80 hours of play. Unfortunately, the title has also been delisted, so you’ll need an existing digital copy to keep playing.
#### Dark Alliance
Shutting down on February 24, 2025, Dark Alliance will retire four online-exclusive Xbox achievements. This action-RPG, developed by Tuque Games and Wizards of the Coast, is also set to disappear from the Xbox store on the same day the servers go offline.
#### The Golf Club
Back in December, HB Studios and 2K Sports announced they’d be closing servers for two older titles from The Golf Club series. The Golf Club itself will go offline on February 28, 2025, making six online achievements inaccessible. As it’s no longer available in the Xbox store, tracking down a physical copy will be necessary if you’re hoping to claim it all.
#### The Golf Club 2
Similarly, four online-exclusive achievements from The Golf Club 2 will be lost after February 28, 2025. Much like its predecessor, this game has been removed from the Microsoft Store, so having a physical copy is crucial if you lack a digital version.
#### KartRider: Drift
Nexon revealed in August that it was shutting down KartRider: Drift, a free-to-play racing game, on February 28, 2025. Of the 28 achievements, 22 will become obsolete following the server closure. The game has already been delisted from the store, so keep that in mind.
#### Disco Dodgeball Remix
Finally, Disco Dodgeball Remix is set to lose its online multiplayer function on February 28, 2025. Fortunately, this game doesn’t have any online-only achievements, so there’s no rush to wrap up this one. However, note that the game will be delisted on the same day, and with no physical copies available, it will soon be lost to the sands of time once removed from the Microsoft Store.
As February approaches, take stock of these closures to strategize and maximize your gaming achievements before these servers vanish for good!
