Rocket Racing And Xbox One Warzone Facing Online Shutdowns
Two Xbox titles are set to lose their servers during October and November 2026. Rocket Racing, which is played inside Fortnite, will go offline on October 1, 2026. Call of Duty: Warzone will close for Xbox One when Modern Warfare 4's first season begins, expected in late October or early November.
Rocket Racing is a Fortnite mode blending Rocket League-style vehicles with racing. Its servers are scheduled to close on October 1, 2026, after which the mode cannot be played at all. A related report notes Epic Games cut 1,000 jobs and confirmed the mode's closure.
Call of Duty: Warzone's Xbox One and PS4 versions will end when Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4's first season launches, expected late October or early November 2026. The Xbox One edition was already removed for new players months earlier. Other upcoming changes include Sociable Soccer 25's September 28 shutdown and Toy Story 3's Xbox 360 delisting on September 29.
The closures may affect players who still use Xbox One or enjoy Rocket Racing, limiting access to games they invested time in. It could also reduce online communities and make older hardware less useful for multiplayer. For Microsoft, these shutdowns may signal shifting resources toward newer platforms and titles, though the immediate societal impact is likely limited to affected player groups.
