A 2025 PS5 and PS4 multiplayer game designed by award-winning industry veteran Jon Hare is unceremoniously shutting down. Sociable Soccer 25, which was suddenly delisted barely a year after launch, is shutting down in fall 2026.
PS5, PS4 game Sociable Soccer 25 shutting down in September 2026
Those who own the game on PlayStation platforms are being greeted with a message informing them that Sociable Soccer 25 servers will shut down on September 28, 2026.
Trophy hunters are a little vexed because a few of Sociable Soccer 25’s trophies are busted, preventing players from unlocking the Platinum trophy. What’s worse is that the game’s PS4 version reportedly doesn’t sync properly with PlayStation servers.
Considering Sociable Soccer 25 is shutting down in less than six months, we’d advise keeping expectations in check when it comes to the game’s issues being fixed.
Sociable Soccer series began in 2017 and spawned numerous entries. The aforementioned title was its latest release on PlayStation, with Tower Studios moving on to Sociable Soccer Champions, which isn’t available on PS5.
“The future of fast, accessible arcade football continues,” Tower Studios wrote. “We look forward to welcoming both new and returning players there.”
Sociable Soccer Champions PS5 version has not been announced.

It’s always disappointing to hear about a game shutting down, especially one with such a talented creator behind it. It’s a reminder of how quickly the gaming landscape can change. Here’s hoping the next project from the team finds great success!
