Squad-based arena shooter Star Wars: Hunters is being shut down less than a year after launch.

Developed by Zynga and its subsidiary NaturalMotion, the free-to-play title’s servers will be taken offline on October 1, 2025. The game will remain in stores and available to download until this date.

“We understand this news may be disappointing and we want to assure you that this decision was not made lightly,” the developer said on its website.

“Your passion and dedication to the game and its community have meant the world to us, and we are committed to providing visibility and updates throughout the transition process.”

Season 5 of Star Wars: Hunters will be extended by three weeks, beginning on March 25, 2025.

The final update for all platforms, including Switch, iOS, and Android, will be on April 15, 2025. In-game purchases will also be disabled from this date.

Any in-game currency purchased but not yet used is not eligible for refund, as the developer states on the FAQ section of its website.
