Armored Warfare is a free-to-play vehicular combat game currently run by Wishlist Games
Armored Warfare was first added to PlayStation in 2018 but after midnight on July 20 it will no longer be available.
It is unclear why the PS4 game is being shut down.
Several outlets are reporting it could be it costing more to maintain the servers and support the game then it makes on the last-generation PlayStation console.
"Not only are running game servers expensive, but the game has to be maintained to prevent hacking and other security issues," reported Comicbook.com

Armored Warfare first debuted on PC but soon became available on several formats
The free-to-play game first debuted back in 2015, but only on PC.
Then in 2018, it was available on Xbox One and PS4.
It never came to Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, or PS5, but it is playable on all of these machines via backward compatibility.
While it is not known how many PS4 gamers are still playing Armored Warfare in 2025, according to the PlayStation Store it remains popular.
On the PlayStation Store it has more than 57,000 user reviews.
Across all of these user reviews, the game's average score is 3.87 out of 5.
Those on PS4 or PS5 that decide to check out Armored Warfare on PSN before it is shut down will need PlayStation Plus to play it, according to its PlayStation Store listing.
There has not been any formal announcement, but the PlayStation Store listing has been updated with the following message:
'Attention: the game will be closed on July 30."
The Sun has contacted PlayStation for comment.
The loss of Armored Warfare comes as four other games are being axed from PlayStation Plus as part of a huge shake-up to the digital library.
Sony warned gamers that the titles will be removed in days – leaving millions of subscribers with a fast-approaching deadline to download or lose out.
But there's a silver lining – six surprise freebies have just landed for members, offering new adventures to dive into.
Fans have until August 6 to claim this month's PS Plus Essential games before they're replaced.
The titles getting the boot are:
Boarderlands 3
NHL 24
Among Us
Tiny Tina's Wonderlands (Next-Level Edition).
The six freebies being added are Doki Doki Literature Club Plus, The Forgotten City, LISA: Definitive Edition, ANIMAL WELL, Neon White and A Space for the Unbound.

Beloved children's author who wrote over 150 books dies aged 87 – 30 years after first wife died of cancer
Allan also worked with illustrators such as Allan also worked with illustrators such as Raymond Briggs and Bruce Ingman ICON GONE Beloved children's author who wrote over 150 books dies aged 87 – 30 years after first wife died of cancer Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BELOVED children's author who wrote over 150 books has died aged 87. Allan Ahlberg produced a host of bestselling nursery classics during a stellar career as an author. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Allan Ahlberg has died aged 87 Credit: Alamy 3 The children's author left behind an incredible legacy Credit: CLPE 3 He worked with his late wife Janet on books together Some of his most famous work includes lasting favourites Peepo!,, Each Peach Pear Plum and The Jolly Postman. Allan came to writing in his late thirties, when his wife Janet grew tired of illustrating non-fiction and asked him to write a story for her to illustrate. Allan later recalled the moment was "as if she turned a key in my back and I was off". The Ahlbergs went on to produce 37 books together, and Allan also wrote more than 100 others. Other notable works from Allan and his wife included The Baby's Catalogue and The Old Joke Book. Janet sadly died from breast cancer in 1994 but Allan kept up his craft. Following Janet's death, Allan worked with illustrators such as Raymond Briggs and Bruce Ingman. His career came full circle in a series of collaborations with his daughter Jessica including Half a Pig and a pop-up set of anarchic variations on the tale of Goldilocks. Belinda Ioni Rasmussen, CEO of Walker Books Group, which published some of his books, said: "He was enormously playful in spirit and language and had the ability to make you smile in one sentence. "Allan inspired generations of children's writers, inspired all of us who worked with him, and inspired artists to make some of their very best work.'

I quit my job to claim benefits & spend the summer holidays with my kids – I'll be better off not working
The mum said not working would be 'more beneficial' for her family NO KIDDING I quit my job to claim benefits & spend the summer holidays with my kids – I'll be better off not working A BUSY mum has revealed she ditched her job to look after her kids over the summer holidays. Loren Jade decided it would be more beneficial to stay at home rather than work, since she had no one else to help with her little ones. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Loren made the difficult decision to quit her job to look after her kids over the summer holidays Credit: tiktok/@lorennjadee 2 Loren said she would be better off not working while her kids are off school Credit: tiktok/@lorennjadee Taking to TikTok, the mum explained that she's always worked hard and still struggled as a single mum. In the viral clip, she revealed she has no one else in the picture to lend a hand, which always left her in a sticky situation over the school holidays. So, the mum planned and paid for her kids to spend most of their time off school at various holiday clubs. "I had it all planned out, I knew exactly where the kids would be," she explained. But as the time got closer, the realisation that she wouldn't see her little ones over the summer holidays and that she'd be spending all of her hard-earned money on childcare hit her "like a ton of bricks." "I cannot force my son who has got SEN needs and a four year old to go to holiday clubs the whole of the six weeks holidays," she said. So, Loren decided to leave her job to look after her kids, which she said worked out better for her. In the comment section of the video, the mum noted that she doesn't currently receive DLA [Disability Living Allowance for children] which is partly why it works out cheaper for her to stay at home and help her son. At the end of the clip, the mum said she would still need to work though, but wasn't sure what her next career move would be. Keen for something out of her comfort zone, the mum said she would try to be a social media influencer on TikTok and asked viewers to follow her so she could give it a good shot. After sharing her decision to quit her job other parents were quick to share their experiences in the comment section of the clip. Kathryn Thomas reveals 'mistake' she made during school run One said: "Sometimes not working actually has more benefits than working. In my case, I have a child with a disability. "I worked for 11 years, and it was exhausting – I was losing myself and my child in the process. Staying home with him turned out to be the best decision." And another mum shared her solution for working during the summer holidays, she said: "I started up as self employed part time cleaner. "I'm on my own basically with no help around me, my six year old SEN is not in school so she comes to work with me. She cant be with others so she cant even do holiday clubs." And someone else said: "I'm having to send my son to holiday club every day as a single mum and I feel so bad as he does not want to go and every morning is a battle." "It's so hard, you work to provide for your family, yet are worse off for working! Its crazy! I'm in the same situation," someone else commented on the clip.
