PS4 game Grid shutting down

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.

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.

Electronic Arts is quietly shutting down two more PS4 games tomorrow, November 8, 2025, as it continues to gut its back catalog. A total of six PS3 and PS4 games from the ill-fated developer Codemasters will be going offline permanently on Saturday.

PS4 games Dirt 4 and Dirt Rally shutting down tomorrow along with several Codemasters games

2016’s Dirt Rally and 2017’s Dirt 4 will lose online services on November 8. Previously, the publisher had only confirmed server closure for Dirt Showdown, Dirt 3, Grid Autosport, and Grid 2.

This update was shared by an EA employee on World Rally Championship’s official Discord channel, as spotted by PSNProfiles users.

Four of the games above were originally scheduled to shut down on March 16, 2026, but EA decided to pull the server closure date to November.

Those who own PS4 versions of the above games can play them on PS5 via backwards compatibility. A couple of the titles mentioned above were previously PS Plus monthly games, so a large number of players might have them in their library.

We’re not sure what the future holds for Codemasters. The developer has stopped working on WRC, and numerous developers have either been laid off or moved to other EA IPs.
