AN ONLINE shooter game played by 10million at its peak will disappear from two popular consoles in a matter of days.
Developers behind the title want to focus on newer platforms, meaning it will shut down on some older devices.
As such, affected players will have to bite the bullet and pay to upgrade their console if they desperately wish to continue playing.
The game in question is a free-to-play multiplayer online role-playing looter shooter.
It first burst onto the scene last July on Windows PC, , PlayStation 4, Series X/S and Xbox One.
But almost one year on, and Xbox One and PS4 owners will be shut out.
Producer Beom-Jun Lee said the move was going ahead with “much reluctance”;.
But studio Nexon says it was needed to make the game even better with its next “mega season update”;.
There is one reassuring bit of news to come out of the shake-up.
Affected players can carry over their account details to any of other platform, so they need not lose everything.
The all-important date all users need to note is June 19 for the switch off.
Gamers have had mixed feelings about the upcoming overhaul.
“This game came out in July last year, why the hell did they even bother with a PS4 version to begin with if it wasn’t even going to make it a year?”; one commented on .
“They shouldn’t have even bothered with PS4 support to begin with then,”; another wrote.
A third added: “I feel sad for PS4 players but its a 12 year old machine its time to jump on ps5, last generation is hold this current generation of games back.”;
