This kind of wording appears to have been included as boilerplate on the packaging for all online PS3 games through mid-2010. That's because the original retail packaging for Warhawk included a pretty clear disclaimer: Advertisement The one-month notice took some eagle-eyed players by surprise, though. As Warhawk was an online-only title, this shutdown means that the game will no longer be playable unless the PS3 system is set to LAN mode, as only local network play will function. Online servers for Warhawk (PS3) will be shut down on Octoat 12:00am PT.

More than 11 years later, a handful of players still seem to be enjoying the online-only dogfight simulation, thanks in part to the game's inclusion in Sony's PlayStation Now streaming service. Warhawk was one of Sony's first experiments in online console gaming, releasing in August of 2007, just months after the launch of the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Network. When it comes to the impending server shutdown for early PS3 release Warhawk, though, Sony seems to have actually broken its own long-standing promise regarding the timing of such a move. While a three-month reprieve might not seem like a big change after years of server uptime, at least players of these games will have an extended chance to say goodbye to their online communities.įurther Reading The day the Mario Kart died: Nintendo’s kill switch and the future of online consolesIf you read Ars Technica (or simply play online games regularly), you're probably accustomed to game makers shutting down online gameplay servers at will, often with little or no notice.
