Clearance of the "confusing" info about NFS Rivals closure

Hello everyone, I started this discussion topic because I'm confused on the Need for Speed Rivals server closure. Thing is, the decomissioned titles page says that the game is going to shut down on October 7th, 2025. But the thing is mentions "PlayStation, Xbox 1, PC" (why listing the platforms like that??) Honestly what kind of confusing things are here? If the game shuts down, will be closed on all platforms? Meaning it will close on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC?

If so, why there's no announcement of said closure here on forums on NFS's social media? It's because Criterion it's focused helping DICE on Battlefield 6 and they  can't post a announcement of this game's closure? Pfft.

Also , why not extending the life of the servers for one or two more months? You're shutting down this game on PS3/360 but it's ilogical that you're still having NFS Most Wanted 2012 and NFS Hot Pursuit 2010 online on said platforms. What a "logic". 

So, can you clear up the info about Rivals? I honestly find it confusing.

Thanks.

    Then EA should write and properly specify the platforms, because showing only "PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC" on the decommissioned titles page makes people confused, especially PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 users, because they think only PS4/Xbox One platforms will shut down. It's just poorly written.

    Again, what's the point of shutting down this specific game, when NFSMW2012 and NFSHP2010 are still online? I honestly don't get it.

    I'll take that as a compliment. It's a shame EA just can't do things or listening to the community. They already stripped off BF3 from me and now NFSRivals. Well, that sucks. I also tried to see if either Codemasters staff or EA will do anything about the online passes for old Codemasters games on PS3 (Dirt 3, GRID 2, etc) due to they "changing their mind over the server closure, first saying "March 2026" and now it's "November 2025".🙄
