One of those games that shouldnt need servers but stupidly does.
I'll have to see if I can finish up the game before it's gone.

WoW. Nice reminder. I have Rivals on PS and wanted to platinum it, but jeeez that game is a pain in the ass... 😅 However this news will push me to at least get the 2 MP trophies... As this: " the end of multiplayer support for Need for Speed: Rivals will not impact the rest of the game" implies that I can get all the rest later if I want... Btw this reminded me how disappointed I was when I realised I will never be able to platinum Mad Max... As there is 1!!! online trophy. 😥

"Electronic Arts is shutting down Need for Speed: Rivals servers on October 7. This will be the seventh Need for Speed game that the company has shut down in the 2020s.
Co-developed by Ghost Games—nowadays known as EA Gothenburg—and Criterion Games, Need for Speed: Rivals is the 20th mainline entry in EA's long-running arcade racing franchise. It was originally released for PC and consoles in November 2013, debuting to generally favorable reviews from audiences and critics alike, though its overall scores were dragged down by some launch-day technical issues. Still, Rivals is nowadays touted as one of the best Need for Speed games of the 2010s and an overall great entry point into the series for newcomers.
Following this announcement, four EA games are now confirmed to be shutting down in October 2025. Just a day ahead of Need for Speed: Rivals losing multiplayer functionality, EA will be shutting down NHL 21 servers on October 6. Madden 22 and FIFA 23 are then scheduled to follow suit on October 20 and October 30, respectively. EA typically gives fans at least several months' worth of notice before pulling the plug on any particular game's servers, so if more titles are planned to lose their multiplayer features in October, they are likely to be officially announced no later than August 2025."
