Star Wars: Hunters Shuts Down Before First Anniversary

Star Wars: Hunters is facing an early shutdown, yet it will reach its one-year milestone before closing its doors. The question arises: is celebrating a dying game's anniversary worth it? While the game may be winding down, marking its anniversary can still offer a moment of reflection and closure for its dedicated players.

When Is the Star Wars: Hunters Shutdown?

The servers for Star Wars: Hunters are set to go offline on October 1st, 2025, marking the end of the game's journey after just nine months since its launch. Players have until April 15th to wrap up Season 5.

Zynga, the developer behind the game, is rolling out a final content update on April 15th, introducing Tuya, a new Support Hunter, for free. On the same day, in-game purchases will be disabled, so make sure to use up any unspent Crystals as no refunds will be issued.

Ranked Mode will remain active until the servers shut down, and events from the season will be rerun, giving players a chance to enjoy the game's final moments.

It Isn’t Shocking

The shutdown of Star Wars: Hunters might not come as a surprise to many. Launched after multiple delays since its announcement in 2020, the game struggled with limited beta tests only in the SEA and ANZAC regions. The lack of major console support and a tepid reception further sealed its fate.

From a design perspective, the game missed an opportunity to capitalize on the rich Star Wars universe by introducing generic original characters rather than the iconic figures fans love.

If you've uninstalled the game but are considering a final playthrough, you can still download it from the Google Play Store until the shutdown date.
