The servers of nine Xbox games will be closed in February

There’s still time for a few more playthroughs and the success hunters have plenty of time.

Xbox has a whole bunch of servers going offline this February. Unfortunately, this will likely mean the end of several games’ online services unless the community tries to keep them alive. Which isn’t always possible, but has happened in some cases.

As shared by Turbostrider27 on Reddit. The folks at TrueAchievements counted nine Xbox servers going offline in February. Until the end of these games, players can still collect incomplete achievements and play a few more rounds of golf.

Unfortunately, many of these games never received a physical copy, so if they are delisted there will no longer be a way to purchase them. In fact, some of these games have already been delisted.

This is one of the reasons for purchasing physical copies of games or making an effort to back up game data to preserve the games themselves. This is one of the main reasons for emulating and preserving games. Why should gamers lose the right to play a game they bought and paid for? This may be painfully obvious to consumers, but it is not the case to publishers.

Hopefully the relevant communities will be able to preserve these games so that they can at least be enjoyed locally for years to come. If you’re interested in emulation and game preservation, Anbernic has just released a new handheld emulator that’s taken the community by storm. If you would like to find out more, click here.
