Dead Star goes offline after just seven months; removed from Steam and PlayStation Store

Armature’s Dead Star will soon be taken offline, after already being removed from sale on Steam and the PlayStation Store.

First available in April 2016 — and offered as a PlayStation Plus free title that same month — Dead Star goes offline from 1 November.

“We are shutting down the game because, bluntly, the costs of operating the game now exceed its income,” Armature’s Jack Mathews told Kotaku.

From 1 November, only the game’s tutorial will function.

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve is the founder of Stevivor, which itself is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’ -- that made more sense back in 2001 when Steve first arrived in the country and Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.

Steve has recently gathered a career's worth of writing on swright.au, his personal portfolio.
