I’d sure hope so
GameSpy Technology is shutting down on June 17, 2025 and that’sreal bad newsfor the many games that rely on the service for online functionality such as multiplayer matchmaking and leaderboards. It’s largely unclear what will come of these titles — it’s up to their developers to find a solution sooner than later, if at all. In the case of threeBattlefieldgames, there’s hope.
Asked on Twitter ifBattlefield 2,Battlefield 2142, andBattlefield: Bad Company 2would be playable post-GameSpy, the official Origin accountreplied that“We’re working on transitioning those games after the shut down so you’ll still be able to play them.”
In a follow-up statement toIGN, publisher Electronic Arts said “We’re working on finding a transition, but still have technical hurdles to overcome. We will make an announcement when there is news to share.” Good. I’d hate to seeBad Company 2go down because of GameSpy.
