Starting September 1, 2022, a number of its most famous titles, such as Ghost Recon: Future Soldier and Assassin’s Creed II, will lose certain features, ranging from changes such as the inability to access or install DLC to the absence of any game for many players. As we say, this is completely common in the gaming world right now, but it’s still a shame to know that these pieces of history (some more important than others) will no longer be accessible as they are today. There are two big exceptions in the form of the most recent remasters of Far Cry 3 and Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood in particular, which will still work in their full state. You can find the list of affected games, along with details of the changes, below.
