And discontinuing online support for some titles post-GameSpy shutdown
2K has announced plans to migrate some of its online-enabled games away from GameSpy Technology since the service isshutting downon May 22, 2025. Loads of titles will be impacted — not just 2K’s library — so consider this just one more update in an all-around messy situation.
On May 31,Borderlands(PC),Civilization III(plusConquestsandPlay the World), andCivilization IV(plusBeyond the Sword,Colonization, andWarlords) will go offline as 2K transitions them to Steamworks. Which is a move that’s good to see happen.
Not all titles are so lucky, however. 2K has alsopublished a list of gamesthat will lose their online service once GameSpy Technology closes. It’s stuff likeVietcong 2andLeadfootandMajor League Baseball 2K9 Fantasy All-Stars— games I haven’t even heard of before.
