The announcement of the shutdown of *Star Wars: Hunters* before even completing its first year raises the question: Is it worth celebrating the anniversary of a dying game? The game, which has struggled to maintain player engagement, is set to mark its one-year milestone before its final curtain call. While some might see it as a bittersweet moment, others may view it as a chance to reminisce about the game's brief journey.
When Is the Star Wars: Hunters Shutdown?
The servers for *Star Wars: Hunters* are scheduled to shut down on October 1st, 2025, marking the end of the game's run just nine months after its launch. Players have until April 15th to wrap up Season 5. Zynga, the developer and publisher, is rolling out a final content update on the same day, introducing Tuya, a new Support Hunter, available for free. In-game purchases will be disabled on April 15th, so make sure to use any unspent Crystals as there will be no refunds. Ranked Mode will continue until the servers go offline, and events from the season will be rerun.It Isn’t Shocking
The shutdown of *Star Wars: Hunters* might not come as a surprise to many. The game faced numerous hurdles from the start, including multiple delays after its initial announcement in 2020. Beta tests were limited to SEA and ANZAC regions, and the lack of major console support contributed to its lukewarm reception. Design choices, such as opting for generic original characters over the iconic figures of the Star Wars universe, may have also played a role in its downfall. If you've uninstalled the game but are considering one last playthrough, you can still download it from the Google Play Store until the shutdown.
