What servers are closing for Dragon Age: Inquisition PS3?

EA ending Dragon Age: Inquisition PS3 servers

EA has announced that it will shut down the online servers for Dragon Age: Inquisition on PlayStation 3 later this month. The move follows EA’s earlier shutdown of Anthem, and it continues the long pattern of older “online-enabled” console versions losing their multiplayer infrastructure.

For players, the practical impact is straightforward: once the servers go offline, activities that require online connectivity—such as server-dependent features—will no longer function. The story’s key detail is that Inquisition’s PS3 online features have outlasted many other live-service titles, including EA/BioWare’s own Anthem, which had already been discontinued.

This matters for the broader game industry because it highlights the lifecycle pressure on legacy platforms. PS3 titles can remain playable in single-player form for a long time, but online components are less resilient: they depend on infrastructure the publisher must continue operating and funding. When that cost-benefit balance shifts, shutdowns come, even when the game is still well known.

From a community perspective, these announcements often push players toward newer versions or different platforms where servers remain online, and they can also affect how long players can access progression systems tied to multiplayer services.

The shutoff date was framed as “later this month,” but no further specifics about what exact online modes remain available are included in the excerpted coverage. Still, the signal is clear: PS3 users will lose Inquisition’s server-backed online features soon, marking another end-of-support milestone for the game on that platform.
