Push Square reports nine games with scheduled storefront removals, online shutdowns or in-game purchase changes in November and December 2026. The effects differ: some games will leave stores, while others will lose online features; NBA 2K25’s single-player modes are expected to remain available. Games bought before removal are reported to stay in players’ libraries.
Nine games are scheduled for storefront removals, online shutdowns or in-game purchase changes in November and December 2026, according to a list published by Push Square. The changes affect several PlayStation games, including Destruction AllStars, NBA 2K25 and Synduality: Echo of Ada, but the consequences vary by title: a delisting does not necessarily mean a game already purchased will disappear from a player’s library.
The first changes are scheduled for November 21, when mobile game Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble is due to be removed from mobile storefronts, and November 25, when Destruction AllStars is set to lose its online services. Push Square reports that the shutdown will leave most of Destruction AllStars’ single-player content unplayable, apart from some arcade challenges; Sony has cautioned that players’ experience of those challenges may also be affected.
On December 18, in-game purchases are scheduled to be removed from Synduality: Echo of Ada, while PSVR2 title Zenith: Nexus is set to end its online services. Push Square describes the purchase change for Synduality as part of a shift toward a single-player-only version, with further changes planned for 2027. The report does not give additional detail about those later changes.
Four games are listed for removal on December 31: Avatar: The Last Airbender – Quest for Balance on PS5 and PS4, Hotel Transylvania 3: Monsters Overboard on PS4, and Street Outlaws: The List on PS4 and Street Outlaws 2: Winner Takes All on PS5. Also on December 31, NBA 2K25 is scheduled to lose its online servers. Push Square reports that the game’s single-player modes will remain available.
Different Changes, Different Player Impact
The list matters because delisting and shutdown are not the same. A game removed from a storefront may still be playable by people who bought it, while an online-service closure can disable modes or affect access even for existing owners. In Destruction AllStars, the reported impact reaches most single-player content, whereas NBA 2K25 is expected to retain its single-player modes after its servers close.
Players who want any of the games being removed may need to buy them before the relevant storefront deadline. Push Square says games purchased before removal will remain in their owners’ libraries. That does not mean every feature will continue working: online-dependent content can be lost when servers shut down, and the report says the remaining arcade challenges in Destruction AllStars could also be affected.
The schedule also gives owners time to distinguish between a purchase deadline and a service deadline. For Synduality, the change is specifically the removal of in-game purchases, not a listed storefront delisting in December. The distinctions are important for players deciding whether to buy, continue playing, or expect online modes to remain available.

The November and December Schedule
Push Square characterizes the year-end list as relatively limited compared with years that bring more extensive delistings and server closures. Its report attributes several of the December 31 removals to expiring licenses involving properties such as Avatar: The Last Airbender and Street Outlaws. The source does not provide a separate statement from the publishers confirming those licensing details.
The nine entries cover different platforms and types of change. They include PS5 and PS4 releases, a PSVR2 online game and a mobile title. Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble is included even though Push Square says it never officially released; its scheduled removal is from mobile storefronts, not a PS5 store listing.
For clarity, the scheduled dates in the report are November 21 for Ranger Rumble, November 25 for Destruction AllStars, December 18 for Synduality purchases and Zenith: Nexus services, and December 31 for the four listed game removals and NBA 2K25’s server closure.
“Your overall experience may be affected.”

Details Still Awaiting Confirmation
The schedule comes from Push Square’s report; the supplied material does not include direct announcements from every publisher or platform holder for every date. The exact timing and regional availability of storefront removals are not specified. It is also unclear whether any additional games will be added to the list before the end of 2026.
For some titles, the practical effects need more detail. The report does not explain which Destruction AllStars arcade challenges may remain functional, or how the Synduality single-player version will work. It also does not identify what content in Zenith: Nexus will remain accessible after its online services end. The stated continued availability of NBA 2K25 single-player modes does not establish whether all offline features will be unaffected.
Check Dates Before Buying
Players should check the relevant game’s store page and official publisher or platform notices before each scheduled date, particularly if they plan to buy a title or rely on online features. The nearest listed changes are Ranger Rumble on November 21 and Destruction AllStars on November 25, followed by the December 18 service and purchase changes and the December 31 removals and server shutdown.
Push Square says it will update its list if further announcements are made before the end of the year. Until publishers provide more detail, the reported dates and effects should be treated as the current schedule, with any changes subject to later confirmation.
Key Questions
Which games are scheduled to leave stores by the end of 2026?
Push Square lists Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble for mobile storefront removal on November 21, then Avatar: The Last Airbender – Quest for Balance, Hotel Transylvania 3: Monsters Overboard, Street Outlaws: The List and Street Outlaws 2: Winner Takes All for removal on December 31.
Will games bought before they are delisted remain in a library?
Push Square reports that games purchased before removal will remain in their owners’ libraries. That does not guarantee continued access to online features after a server shutdown.
What happens to Destruction AllStars on November 25?
Its online services are scheduled to end. Push Square reports that most single-player content will become unplayable, with some arcade challenges remaining, though Sony has warned the overall experience may be affected.
Will NBA 2K25 still have single-player modes after its servers close?
According to Push Square, the December 31 server shutdown will not remove the game’s single-player modes. The report does not detail whether every offline feature will work unchanged.
Is Synduality: Echo of Ada being delisted in December?
The reported December 18 change is the removal of in-game purchases, not a storefront delisting. Push Square says a shift toward a single-player-only version is planned, with further changes expected in 2027.
