Free-to-play Pac-Man battle royale game Pac-Man 99 will be retired and mostly closed later this year, Nintendo has announced. The game will lose its online service support and will not be available for download, but those who have already installed the game on their Nintendo Switch will be able to continue to experience the offline play mode for the foreseeable future.
asnintendo storeAs stated on the game’s product page, we’re told that on August 8, the game’s paid custom themes will be discontinued, and then on September 8, the Pac-Man 99 Deluxe Pack and Pac-Man 99 Mode Unlock will also be discontinued. This will be followed by a massive shutdown of the main game’s online service on October 8th, and distribution of the title and its free themes.
If you purchased any content in-game, it will still be accessible in offline mode after these interruptions.
Long story short, if you’ve been wanting to play this game, make sure to do so before parts start to go out on August 8th.
