An award-winning 2019 PS4 game is shutting down soon amid reports that publisher Electronic Arts has severely gutted its developer. Codemasters’ Grid is the next game on EA’s chopping block, with its server closure scheduled for next month.
2019 PS4 racing game Grid shutting down in December 2025
EA has announced that Grid will be shutting down on December 19, 2025. The good news is that owners can continue to play the game, but server closures can impact aspects like trophy hunting and game completion, if that’s your thing. Grid itself and its DLC have already been delisted.
Grid is the latest in a lengthy list of Codemasters games that EA has pulled the plug on. In May this year, it was announced that development on future World Rally Championship titles had ceased. As a result, some developers were laid off while other Codemasters employees were moved to work on other EA projects.
EA denied subsequent reports that it was planning to shut down Codemasters, but the studio’s fate remains unknown, and we don’t know what it’s working on next or if Codemasters is working on anything at all.
Codemasters was founded in October 1986 and was purchased by EA in 2021.
