Attention all gamers! A shocking development has been announced that will impact one of our beloved titles. Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare is facing an online shutdown, but here's the twist: it's not all doom and gloom for Xbox 360 players!
EA, the game's publisher, has confirmed that the online servers for the PS3 version will be closing their doors on April 28, 2026. However, the Xbox 360 version seems to have dodged this bullet, at least for now.
But here's where it gets controversial: EA's announcement only mentioned the PS3 version, leaving Xbox 360 players in a state of uncertainty. It's a peculiar move, especially considering EA's history of overlooking Xbox 360 versions during server closures. Remember the Need for Speed Rivals debacle? It seems EA might have made a similar oversight here.
Despite the lack of official confirmation, we're optimistic that the Xbox 360 version will remain accessible. After all, it would be odd for EA to sunset just one platform, especially when the game is still fully playable on other consoles and PC.
For those aiming to complete the game's achievements on Xbox 360, now is the time to act. Estimates suggest unlocking all 65 achievements will take around 40 hours, with the base 1,000G taking between 25 and 30 hours. So, if you're an achievement hunter, you might want to dust off your Xbox 360 and get cracking!
And this is the part most people miss: the Xbox 360 version of Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare and its DLC packs have been delisted, meaning you'll need a physical copy to play. So, if you're planning to tackle this achievement list, make sure you have the game ready and waiting.
We've got a fantastic walkthrough to help you navigate the game's achievements, so you can tackle this challenge with confidence. But will you be revisiting this old-school Xbox shooter just in case? Let us know in the comments below. We'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences with this beloved franchise.
