The company is making the changes as we move to solely support Epic Online Services with its unified friends system, voice chat features, parental controls, and parental verification features," it said in a blog post on Wednesday.
The shutdowns will begin on Wednesday. For the below games, online services will be fully disabled by January 24th, though you can still play single-player or offline multiplayer. Epic is also beginning to remove the games from digital storefronts (where you could still buy them) and disabling in-game DLC purchases.
