LEGO 2K Drive is being removed from digital storefronts (Steam, Epic Games Store, PSN, and Xbox) starting May 19, 2026, with online servers staying active until May 31, 2027. Physical copies will remain available. The likely reason is expiring licenses for licensed vehicles, though 2K has not commented. The Switch eShop disclaimer hadn’t appeared yet at the time of reporting, and only a few days remained to buy digitally.
Star Trek: Resurgence, the 2023 PS5/PS4 adventure from Dramatic Labs (Bruner House), is being delisted from the PS Store after its license expired. There is no exact delisting time yet; Xbox has already removed the title. The PS Store still lists it at $24.99 with no discount in sight. If you want a copy, you can also grab a physical version from retailers like Amazon. The game will remain playable offline after delisting.
The 2017 video game "Friday the 13th: The Game" will no longer be for sale physically or digitally after December 31, 2023, due to the expiration of its license. The game will continue to function until January 2025, but its online component will be shut down. The game faced legal troubles in 2018, which prevented future content development. The price of the game has been lowered to $4.99 for the base game and $0.99 for each downloadable content until the end of this year. The news highlights the fleeting nature of entertainment due to licensing contracts and corporate decision-making.
