EA will shut down these four games during the month of October 2025

Every year, many video games disappear from several online catalogs in order to make room for newcomers. And during the month of October 2025, EA will delete four very popular games, which may cause a shock for players. Therefore, this type of decision is always a bad surprise for many people. Especially when we know that certain titles are still played today and that they allow to gather several players between them. 

Thus, it will be necessary to prepare to say goodbye to FIFA 23 from October 30. But also to NHL 21 on October 6, Need For Speed: Rivals on October 7 and Madden NFL 22 on October 20. Obviously, if these games disappear, it will also be the case for their online features and achievements that can be obtained by playing them. Therefore, you only have two months to enjoy these different titles and play online.

However, if these closures are present every year, EA seems to have increased their frequency in 2025. Indeed, other games have suffered the same fate such as UFC 3 in April and Madden NFL 21 during the month of June. And this leads the players to ask themselves various questions. 

Thus, for some, this reflects the current market trend, when publishers offer ephemeral games that will be replaced in the following years by similar titles. For others, this shows that EA wishes to focus on active projects in order to meet everyone’s expectations. In any case, all of this also has a financial objective, which is very important in the video game industry. And it will be possible to see other games close their doors in the coming months and years, to the detriment of fans who still spend many hours on them.
