It's the end of the road for Lego 2K Drive. Developer Visual Concepts has announced that the game, released in 2023 to good reviews, will be delisted on May 19 with its multiplayer servers going offline on May 31, 2027.
After that, "All game functions requiring online servers will no longer function," the developer said. The game's store pages across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox disclosed the forthcoming changes, but the eShop page doesn't mention anything about delisting and server shutdown.
