Back in March, we learned of another selection of EA Xbox 360-era titles that were set to close their online doors in 2023, and now a few more games have been added to the virtual chopping block.
Thanks to the company's 'Online Services Shutdown' list, we now know of three more titles set to shut down in the coming months. Here are those Xbox 360 titles, along with the exact date they'll no longer include any online features:
- Crysis 3 (September 7th, 2023)
- Dante's Inferno (December 8th, 2023)
- Dead Space 2 (December 8th, 2023)
All three of these games are backwards compatible, so modern Xbox console players will also miss out on online access for each of them in the next few months. As far as we know, they'll all still be purchasable and playable in an offline state after these dates.
Crysis 3 has been remastered recently, but that version doesn't include any form of online play. We can't imagine the other two titles are very populated in 2023, but it's still a bummer to see these games shut up shop. Maybe after the success of Dead Space we could see a remake of the second game with online functionality? Only time will tell.
Did you play any of these Xbox 360 games online? Sad to see them close down? Tell us in the comments section!

Does anyone know offhand the online features of Dantes Inferno?
@Scummbuddy A little bit of searching and, there seemed to be some sort of co-op mode added after launch. I don't know much beyond that, never played it myself!
i thought dead space 2 servers had already been shut down
@Scummbuddy
There was a mode where you could create your own challenges (basically an arena/waves of enemies) and other users would rate them. There were a few trophies regarding that. I played the PS3 version back in the day, but I imagine it's the same with 360.
Wonder how many Achievements will become Unobtainable from this.
Didn't even realise the Dante's Inferno support or forgot it did as only going singleplayer with it. Surprised Crysis 3's multiplayer is still up. I remember the beta and I never really looked into what it offered as not into multiplayer probably I assume it was good. Forgot some like Dead Space 2 have multiplayer modes.
Got both Dante's Inferno (a few months ago, do need to play more I'm I think 2 bosses in and a few levels, got a fair way to go, love the ideas it has compared to God of War's direction since, or Knack (GOW of old design) or Darksiders being it's own thing and Atlas Fallen being my Darksiders 2 format successor to a degree besides it's own good ideas), Crysis 3 (had since release) but not that disappointed.
Do wonder how achievement hunters will go for these games.
