For the few of you out there still playing an online multiplayer game on the PlayStation 3, your hours are numbered when it comes to accessing the online portion of Starhawk. The 2012 follow-up to Warhawk is set to have its servers turned off at the end of play today, as noted in its PlayStation Store description.
As noted in our review way back when, multiplayer was most definitely the focus of the title, with a single player campaign that did little more than introduce you to the mechanics and features you'd be interacting with online. With that portion now gone, we can't imagine anyone giving Starhawk a worthy recommendation in 2018.
Furthermore, this shutdown was actually noticed over on PlayStation Trophies via a two page forum thread, but only now on its final day of existence has word really gotten out about Starhawk's impending death. A true testament to how active its online community has been lately. In other words, it's just as dead as the game is very soon to be.

Emmett Graves is heading to the grave.
that stinks. I wonder why some games are still up as opposed to others? AC: Brotherhood should still be up form 2010, but you can find a match in that. Other games are just totally dead online, but you can technically still play online.
I have never played Warhawk and Starhawk, but these games look great. They should
port it on PS4.
I remember being disappointed in this game because it's not warhawk 2, the sequel to one of my favorite ps1 games..
@Jaz007 Just depends on how long the company is willing to keep paying for the servers.
Sadly Starhawk was victim to a whole load of PlayStation exclusives that came out and just sank without a trace at the time, see Twisted Metal, PlayStation All Stars and LittleBigPlanet Karting.
Didn't do enough to stand out unfortunately. Did look fun though.
I don't know what this games is.
@get2sammyb would've been better without "graves" at the beginning.
You'd think they may have done a remaster of Warhawk for PS4 it was a great great game I loved it just the rank system was a little complex for me or maybe took to long to rank up but I had really great memories online with that game.
Never heard of this game..sounds like it may be worth getting into!...oh right..
and this is why i don't do online focused games and why every game should have robust, single player content
Totally forgot about this game. I heard it was warmly received at the time though
i platinumed it when it came out, was fun for a month or two, but don't think i've played it since the summer of 2012. i'd be surprised if there is anybody on the servers these days, it wasn't massively popular back then.
@viciousarcanum I've let you down.
This is a game I meant to check out when I got my PS3 but forgot about. Guess I never will now.
Wow, no warning at all.
What killed it for me was the comic style presentation. Still 2D drawings. I have up right there. The gameplay was hella fun. The original "Prepare for Titanfall"
Forget "People didn't know about the shutdown until the last day", I didn't know this game existed until the last day.
A bit like PlayStation Mobile. This was at the end of the PS3 right? Explains a lot.
