Let’s dive into what this means for each game:
Divine Knockout
Back in October, the publishers at Hi-Rez Studios announced a shift in focus toward Smite 2, leading to significant layoffs and server shutdowns for both Divine Knockout and Realm Royale Reforged. Scheduled for February 17, 2025, the end of Divine Knockout’s servers also means saying goodbye to its 19 achievements. If you’re looking to claim the 1,000 gamerscore, act quickly—expect around eight hours of gameplay to achieve this.
Realm Royale Reforged
Realm Royale Reforged is also on the chopping block due to Hi-Rez Studios’ restructuring. This online-only battle royale offers 20 achievements, all of which will be unavailable after February 17, 2025. Completing the full 1,000 gamerscore is estimated to take roughly 15 hours.

EA Sports UFC 3
EA Sports UFC 3, which has enjoyed a solid five-year run, will see its online services shutting down on February 17, 2025. As a result, 15 achievements will become unattainable. While the game has been removed from the Microsoft Store, subscribers to Game Pass Ultimate and EA Play can still enjoy this MMA title.
Hood: Outlaws and Legends
Coming on February 18, 2025, Hood: Outlaws and Legends will close its servers. As an online-only game, this means all 50 achievements will no longer be accessible. If you’re hoping to complete this before the shutdown, plan for around 80 hours of gameplay. Unfortunately, it’s already been delisted from the Microsoft Store, so only previous owners can continue to play.
Dark Alliance
Mark your calendars for February 24, 2025, when Dark Alliance will go offline. This server shutdown means the end for four online-specific Xbox achievements. Adding to the blow, Tuque Games and Wizards of the Coast will delist the action-RPG from the store on the same day.
The Golf Club
In December, HB Studios and 2K Sports revealed plans to close servers on two classic Golf Club games. With The Golf Club shutting down come February 28, 2025, six online achievements will be discontinued. As the game is already off the Xbox Store, you’ll need a physical copy if you’re aiming for full completion.
The Golf Club 2
Much like its predecessor, The Golf Club 2 will also lose four online-only achievements once its servers shut down on February 28, 2025. Since it’s been delisted from Microsoft’s digital shelves, securing a physical version is essential if you don’t already own it digitally.
KartRider: Drift
Nexon brought news of KartRider: Drift’s shutdown back in August, and February 28, 2025, marks its last lap. Out of its 28 achievements, 22 will disappear with the server closure. The game has also been delisted from the Xbox Store, further limiting your options if you haven’t secured it yet.
Disco Dodgeball Remix
Last but not least, Disco Dodgeball Remix’s online multiplayer support ends on February 28, 2025. Thankfully, this one doesn’t pack any online-only achievements, so you can take your time wrapping up the gameplay. However, be aware that it will also be pulled from the Microsoft Store, with no physical copies available. Once gone, it’s gone for good.
As these closures loom, take advantage of the time you have left. Whether you’re reminiscing over past triumphs or striving for that last achievement, let this guide help you succeed before the doors finally close.
