\"PSVR2<\/a><\/p>\n

Remember Firewall Ultra<\/a>? Well, it seems Sony just did, as it’s now unceremoniously pulling the plug.<\/p>\n

If you try to search for the game on PS Store<\/a>, you won’t find it; the page has been delisted from Sony’s storefront, seemingly with no warning.<\/p>\n

Moreover, a brief update regarding the title’s online services has been made on an old PS Blog post<\/a>, of all places, confirming that not only is it being delisted, its online features will soon be closed down.<\/p>\n

“Online features for Firewall Ultra will be terminated and will no longer be available on September 17, 2026,” the update says. “As you must be online to play this title, this game will no longer be playable starting September 17, 2026 at 10:00am PDT (GMT -7).”<\/p>\n

So, if you currently own the game, you have about six months left to enjoy it before it’s taken offline for good.<\/p>\n

Sony published the tactical shooter as a PSVR2 exclusive back in 2023.<\/p>\n

Developed by First Contact Entertainment (which sadly also closed its doors<\/a> following this game’s launch), Firewall Ultra was a follow-up to the very warmly received Firewall Zero Hour<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the sequel failed to live up to what was achieved in the first title, and despite efforts to build the game for long-term post-launch support, it didn’t do enough business to see the full vision come to light.<\/p>\n

We can only presume why the game is suddenly being taken down; we’d have to guess it simply isn’t selling, and probably isn’t being played much either.<\/p>\n

Even so, it’s always disappointing to see games vanished away like this, even if the game isn’t particularly well-remembered.<\/p>\n
