Gravity Rush 2 PS4 PlayStation 4 1

Sony is switching off Gravity Rush 2’s servers a year after the game launched, and this is becoming far too common as far as we’re concerned. The company has already killed both The Tomorrow Children and Kill Strain in less than 12 months, and while Kat’s sophomore story is not nearly as reliant on online functionality as the aforementioned, this still rubs us the wrong way. Why are we paying for PlayStation Plus if the platform holder can’t keep its own software running?

So, beginning from 18th January at 9:00PM PT, you’ll be unable to send challenges, partake in treasure hunts, and obtain Dusty Tokens. It’s this latter part that’s the killer, as there are costumes tied to the in-game currency system which will suddenly be rendered inaccessible. To its credit, the company will be increasing the number of Dusty Tokens you can collect from now until the servers are shutdown, but this still doesn’t sit well with us. Cut it out, Sony – it’s a bad look.
