Reminder: These 3 PS5, PS4 Games Will Be Delisted or Disabled in October 2026
Push Square highlights three gaming-related changes scheduled for October 2026: Fortnite’s Rocket Racing mode will be removed, Tower of Fantasy’s PS4 version will go offline, and Call of Duty: Warzone will be discontinued on PS4. The changes matter because affected players may lose access to specific online features or entire game versions, although some progress can be transferred.
– Fortnite: Rocket Racing will disappear as a selectable mode sometime in October, though Epic has not announced an exact date.– Tower of Fantasy’s PS4 online services will end on 20 October; progress can be transferred to PS5, PC or mobile.– PS4 Warzone will close around 23 October, coinciding with the launch of Modern Warfare 4’s first season.– Separately, the PS3 and PS Vita PlayStation Store in the UAE is due to shut permanently on 5 October, ahead of regional currency changes.
In short
- Three online gaming services face October changes.
- Tower of Fantasy PS4 ends on 20 October.
- UAE PS3 and PS Vita Store closes on 5 October.
Explained simply
Games on PlayStation can depend on online services as well as the console itself, so a publisher’s decision to end support can make a mode or version unavailable even if players still own the game. This is especially relevant for games that change over time and are maintained by their publishers.
Fortnite is made by Epic Games, while Tower of Fantasy is an online role-playing game and Call of Duty: Warzone is a free-to-play battle royale game. Players may have different options when support ends: some progress can move to another platform, while access to a particular console version or feature may end.
These changes matter to people who play on older PlayStation consoles, because losing a mode or online service can affect how they use a game they have already downloaded. PlayStation Store closures in some regions can also affect access to buying games on older systems.
