This is a planned service with an extended deadline scheduled for January 31, 2019 at midnight Pacific time. Once the date and time arrives, PS3 owners with the mentioned games will no longer be able to access online multiplayer, share progress with their community, or download content from the community.

Warhawk will no longer have online games, but will still allow playing on the local LAN with friends. The offline split-screen game will still be compatible with PlayStation All-Star: Battle Royale and Twisted Meta l. Finally, Sound Shapes users will have access to all content and retain the ability to create new levels, but will not be able to use network features such as sharing. Sony originally planned to end online support for these games on October 25 of this year.

This is something that we will see more and more frequently in the future, as the arrival of PS5 is approaching and Sony will not want to keep too many servers running. What do you think of the shutdown of the servers of these games?
