Numerous EA games have been shut down over the years, and while that’s always an upsetting development for fans, at least they are given plenty of advanced notice. EA keeps a running list of the games it is shutting down, ensuring fans have plenty of time to get their fill before the servers are taken offline. When it comes to April 2024, two EA games are on the chopping block, so fans may want to prioritize them if they can.
