Just received confirmation from Sony: Destruction AllStars is largely unavailable now. They explained in an email that the decision to remove it was made rather quickly.
The email confirms the game is no longer available to purchase on the PlayStation Store, which we were already aware of.
But on the subject of its multiplayer, it says:
Destruction AllStars on PS5 no longer has online multiplayer. This is because of continuing technical problems with the game’s servers.
So, they’re shutting down the last of their servers on November 25th. They’re saying I’ll still be able to play the single-player part if I already own the game, but things might not work perfectly since the servers will be gone. Basically, expect some stuff to be broken or not work as intended.
It looks like Sony was already intending to close the game’s servers eventually. Since the multiplayer features stopped working in 2024, they’ve essentially shut down that part of the game ahead of schedule.
All that remains is some basic login connectivity, which will be fully disabled on 25th November.
Destruction AllStars has an odd history: its online servers stopped working in 2024, but Sony has never publicly confirmed this.
Up until today, the game was still available, but it’s now been completely removed and is no longer available on the PlayStation Store. If you already purchased the game, you’ll still be able to play Arcade Mode.
A recent post on the game’s news feed, noticed by Radec, announced that players can still use their in-game currency, Destruction Points, until November 25th. This likely satisfies Sony’s requirement of providing six months’ notice, despite the game being effectively unplayable online for a long time.
Fans have been discussing this mystery on a PSNProfiles thread since 2024, and we finally have an answer.
Lucid developed this game relatively early in the PlayStation 5’s release, but it didn’t become very popular as a live service game.
The team attempted to rework the game’s concept several times, but it never managed to keep players engaged for very long. It’s not unexpected that Sony decided to cancel it, though they could have handled the announcement much more clearly.
With the servers shutting down, it’s clear the Platinum Trophy will no longer be achievable, and it’s unlikely the game will receive an update to address or replace those trophies.
This game had promise, but PlayStation has realized throughout this console generation that the online gaming market is very competitive. Simply being average isn’t enough to attract and keep players.
