Summary
Rory McIlroy PGA Tourhas shut down its online services, marking yet anotherEAgame that no longer has online functionality.EAshuts down the online services for multiple games every year. And while this is certainly disappointing, especially for those interested in video game preservation, it at least lets fans know well in advance before it shuts anything down.
EA keeps a running list of games it’s shutting down, updating fans regularly on the exact dates that titles will no longer have online support. Many of the games on its list are sports games, but it occasionally shuts down the online support for its other types of games as well. In any case, this running list has let fans know for months that they would lose access toRory McIlroy PGA Tour’s online modes, and that’s exactly what’s happened.
As of Thursday, January 16,Rory McIlroy PGA Tour’s online functionality no longer works. The golf game, first released in 2015, earned mixed reviews at the time of its launch, but with so few golf game options available on modern consoles, it was still a go-to for some fans of the sport. Its offline modes will still be accessible, but its online is dead, rendering certain content completely unavailable.
