Star Wars: Hunters will end service on October 1

Zynga has announced it will be ending service for free-to-play arena shooter Star Wars: Hunter on October 1, 2025. This comes just over a year after the Star Wars game was released on Android, iOS, and the Nintendo Switch. It later came to PC via Steam in Early Access on January 27, 2025. 

The final update for Star Wars: Hunters will come on April 15, 2025. 

The full message from Zynga (Thanks Gematsu):

Dear Hunters,

Thank you for your incredible support and for being part of the world of Vespaara. After careful consideration, we want to let you know that the final content update for Star Wars: Hunters on all platforms will be on April 15. The game will remain playable until October 1, 2025, when the game’s online servers will be shut down.

We understand this news may be disappointing and want to assure you that this decision was not made lightly. Your passion and dedication to the game and its community have meant the world to us, and we are committed to providing visibility and updates throughout the transition process.

Please find below a few important dates regarding this announcement.

• March 25, 2025 – Season 5 will be extended by three weeks. We will re-run events and shop bundles from the Season, and the Ranked Season will also be extended, giving players more time to hit Kyber 1 rank.
• April 15, 2025 – Final content update will be released for free and in-game purchases will be disabled across all platforms. New Support Hunter, Tuya, will join the battle as part of the final update. Tuya will be available and playable for all users immediately at no cost, along with a slate of additional in-game content. We will continue to run a final Ranked Mode leaderboard for players to compete in and run all battlefields and game modes in rotation.
• October 1, 2025 – Online servers will officially shut down, and Star Wars: Hunters will no longer be playable beyond this point.
