The news of *Star Wars: Hunters* announcing its shutdown before even reaching its first anniversary is disheartening for fans. Yet, the game will still celebrate its one-year milestone before going offline. The question remains: is it worth celebrating the anniversary of a game that's on its way out?
When Is the Star Wars: Hunters Shutdown?
The servers of *Star Wars: Hunters* will officially close on October 1st, 2025, marking the end of the game's run after just nine months since its launch. Players have until April 15th to wrap up Season 5.Zynga, the game's developer and publisher, plans to release a final content update on April 15th. This update will introduce Tuya, the last new Support Hunter, available for free. On the same day, in-game purchases will be disabled.
Ranked Mode will remain active until the servers shut down, and past season events will be rerun. It's advisable to use any unspent Crystals as there will be no refunds offered.
It Isn’t Shocking
The shutdown of *Star Wars: Hunters* might not come as a surprise to many. The game faced numerous challenges from the outset. Initially announced in 2020, it suffered from multiple delays, and beta tests were limited to the SEA and ANZAC regions.The delayed launch, absence of major console support, and a lukewarm reception contributed to the game's downfall. Additionally, the game's design choices, such as using generic original characters instead of the iconic Star Wars legends, may have missed the mark with fans.
If you've uninstalled the game but wish to experience it one last time, Star Wars: Hunters remains available for download on the Google Play Store until the shutdown.
