Rocket Racing goes offline on Xbox on October 1
The Fortnite racing game is one of only two titles losing servers across October and November 2026, and it becomes unplayable in any form once it shuts.
Xbox faces a short list of server closures across October and November 2026. The bigger of the two is Rocket Racing, the racing game that lives inside Fortnite and mixes Rocket League's cars with a conventional racing format. It goes offline on 1 October 2026 for every Xbox console, and once the servers stop there will be no way to play it at all.
The second shutdown on the list applies only to the Xbox One and falls somewhere in the same two-month window. Beyond those two titles the schedule is otherwise quiet, an unusually light stretch for a platform that has spent recent years retiring online services in larger batches.
