New sales for the game have already been discontinued. It is scheduled to be removed from subscription services on March 1, 2022.

However, the servers remain live for those who already own the game. Both "Titanfall 2," the game's sequel, as well as "Apex Legends," which is heavily inspired by the game, remain available for players.

Original 'Titanfall' Has Been Discontinued

The original "Titanfall" game, which was released in 2014, has been officially discontinued, according to an announcement posted to on Respawn Entertainment's Twitter account.

"We've made the decision to discontinue new sales of the original 'Titanfall' game starting today and we'll be removing the game from subscription services on March 1, 2022," the announcement reads.

Respawn has assured that the game's servers will remain live for those who already own the game.

"Titanfall 2" is still currently available. The video game's developer has also assured fans that "Titanfall's" "incredible universe will continue."

Problems That Have Plagued 'Titanfall'

Kotaku remarks in its report that "Titanfall" being pulled out from digital storefronts is not "particularly surprising." This is due to the numerous problems players have experienced with the game throughout the years.

"'Titanfall' has been plagued with myriad problems-most troubling of which has been widespread hacking throughout the game's multiplayer," according to the Kotaku report.

Both the original game as well as "Titanfall 2" have fallen victims to multiple DDOS attacks. These attacks have caused players' games as well as 'Titanfall's' servers to crash.

According to Kotaku, it was also erroneously claimed that "some security flaws could permanently jeopardize the health of your PC." Those claims have been disproved by Respawn Entertainment.
