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

If you’d forgotten inFAMOUS 2<\/a> even had any online features, I’d forgive you. I didn’t recall that fact myself.<\/p>\n

The 15-year-old superhero action game is largely a single-player experience, but players were able to create custom missions and share them with the community, extending the life of the title beyond its main story.<\/p>\n

Sadly, the online services supporting this feature are set to be shut down soon. On 31st August, 2026, these user-generated content elements will no longer be usable.<\/p>\n

Here’s the official word<\/a> from Sony on the matter:<\/p>\n

“Due to ongoing technical considerations, online support for the User Generated Content (UGC) features in inFAMOUS 2 on PlayStation 3 will end as of Aug 31st 2026.<\/p>\n

After this date, players will no longer be able to access, browse, upload, download, or play UGC missions through the inFAMOUS 2 online servers. Offline features, including the main campaign, will remain playable.”<\/p>\n

So, if you still have access to the game and are curious to check out some user-created missions, now’s the time.<\/p>\n

Trophy hunters may also want to take heed, because inFAMOUS 2’s list of gongs<\/a> includes three that require engaging with the game’s UGC features. In other words, attaining the platinum will become impossible after the end of August.<\/p>\n
