Sony has not made any official announcement about shutting down PS4 servers entirely. The PS4 servers are expected to remain active for several more years; some sources suggest at least another 10 years, especially because the PS3 servers are still operational, and PS4 support remains important as the PS5 is not yet universally available to all gamers.
However, individual game servers on PS4 are being shut down over time. Several popular PS4 game servers are scheduled for shutdown in 2025, such as Dauntless (May 29, 2025), MultiVersus (May 30, 2025), and others throughout the year, but these are game-specific closures, not the overall PS4 platform servers.
One specific date found mentions that the PS4 servers as a whole might go offline on November 15, 2033, which coincides with the anticipated end of PS5 server support and possibly the launch of the PlayStation 7, indicating that the PS4 servers are expected to remain active until then.
In summary:
- No official PS4 server shutdown announced by Sony yet.
- PS4 servers expected to remain active until around 2033 or the release of PS7.
- Individual PS4 game servers are being shut down gradually, with some scheduled for 2025.
- PS4 still has a strong user base, and Sony continues game releases for PS4 alongside PS5.
This means PS4 users can continue enjoying online services for many years, but should be mindful of specific game server shutdowns happening earlier.
