Genshin Impact will end support for PlayStation 4 due to hardware and platform size limitations, with the PS4 version being removed from the PlayStation Store on September 10th, 2023, and service ending on April 8th, 2026. Players are encouraged to switch to PS5 or other platforms, with no impact on game progress.
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot addressed concerns raised by the Stop Killing Games petition at a shareholder meeting, acknowledging the industry's challenge in maintaining game accessibility after support ends, and highlighting efforts to support game preservation and offline access, while noting that discontinuation is a broader industry issue.
Servers for multiple Ubisoft Xbox 360 games, including Driver: San Francisco and Splinter Cell: Blacklist, have unexpectedly come back online, allowing players to unlock previously-discontinued online achievements. While Ubisoft officially shut down the servers for these games in October 2022, intermittent online services have been observed, and now players have the opportunity to unlock achievements once again. However, these servers are likely to go offline soon, so players are advised to act quickly if they want to take advantage of this opportunity.
