Have you ever looked at the vast swathe of live-service shutdowns, cancellations and end-of-support announcements, and wondered how Lucid Games’ Destruction AllStars could still survive? Well, wonder no more. As shared by Wario64 on Bluesky, the vehicular combat title has been delisted from the PlayStation Store, and servers have seemingly shut down.
I can confirm the delisting – a search on the Store across two different regions on PS5 yielded no results. A quick peek at its official PlayStation.com page shows the wishlist button and star ratings, but scroll down, and you’ll find that the “Editions” section is empty.
Neither Sony nor Lucid has provided any official warning about servers shutting down – even Concord was pulled from sale two weeks after launch, before going offline about seven weeks later. On the bright side, at least Destruction AllStars has an Arcade Mode where players can partake in against the AI to unlock new cosmetics.
But if this really is the end for multiplayer, then it’s not all that surprising. After launching in February 2021 for PS5, it struggled to really find an audience despite being free for PlayStation Plus subscribers in its first two months. It would even retail for $19.99, but still faded into the background. Rumors of a free-to-play shift proved unfounded and Lucid Games would be acquired by Lightspeed Games, a Tencent subsidiary in 2023.
