LEGO 2K Drive is officially being removed from digital storefronts next week, with online multiplayer services also scheduled to shut down permanently in 2027.
The news quietly appeared across several storefronts, including:
…and honestly, while many players probably saw this coming, it still feels pretty disappointing.
LEGO 2K Drive Being Delisted on May 19
Store pages for the game now include the following message:
“This product will no longer be available for purchase as of 05/19/2026.”
That means players only have a few days left to digitally purchase the game before it disappears from major storefronts entirely.
At the time of writing, similar notices have not yet appeared on:
- Nintendo eShop
- Epic Games Store
However, all signs strongly suggest the delisting is legitimate.
Online Servers Shutting Down in 2027
Even more concerning is the announcement regarding the game’s multiplayer infrastructure.
The storefront warning additionally confirms:
“All multiplayer servers for LEGO® 2K Drive will be shutdown as of 05/31/2027.”
Once servers go offline:
- multiplayer functionality will stop working,
- online features will disappear,
- and any game modes requiring server connectivity will become inaccessible.
The game’s offline content should still remain playable, but the online portion of the experience will effectively be dead.

A Short Lifespan for a Major LEGO Racing Project
LEGO 2K Drive originally launched on:
- PlayStation 4
- PlayStation 5
- Xbox One
- Xbox Series X|S
- Nintendo Switch
- PC
…back on May 19, 2023.
The game was positioned as a major new LEGO racing franchise under Take-Two and Visual Concepts, blending arcade racing with open-world exploration and heavy customization systems.
However, reception ended up being fairly mixed overall, with criticism often aimed at:
- monetization systems,
- repetitive progression,
- and lack of long-term engagement.
Roughly a year later, layoffs reportedly affected parts of Visual Concepts South, the studio involved with the project.
Another Live-Service Reminder
The situation once again highlights one of the biggest concerns players continue raising around online-dependent games.
Even relatively recent releases can suddenly:
- disappear from storefronts,
- lose online functionality,
- and become partially inaccessible within only a few years.
And while LEGO 2K Drive never became the breakout hit Take-Two likely hoped for, it’s still unfortunate seeing a family-friendly racing game lose support this quickly.
