Sucker Punch’s classic PS3 title inFAMOUS 2 is seeing a massive surge in player activity as the community rushes to finish their trophy collections. With the game's online features officially scheduled to go offline on August 31, 2026, players have only a few weeks remaining to complete the requirements for the Platinum trophy.
Quick Facts
- Server Shutdown Date: August 31, 2026
- Platform: PlayStation 3
- Affected Titles: inFAMOUS 2 and inFAMOUS: Festival of Blood
According to data from the tracking site PSN Profiles, the game has climbed to become the 10th most played PlayStation title on its servers over the past week. This influx of players is almost entirely attributed to the race to earn the Platinum trophy before the online infrastructure is retired, rendering certain objectives impossible to complete.
inFAMOUS 2 remains a standout title from the PS3 era, but its reliance on user-created missions for trophy progression means that the window for completion is closing rapidly. The standalone spin-off inFAMOUS: Festival of Blood is also included in this shutdown, as it shares similar requirements involving online content.
The State of the inFAMOUS Franchise
Interestingly, the original inFAMOUS game is not affected by these changes, as it does not rely on the same online server architecture. While the surge in players highlights an enduring interest in the franchise, the series remains locked to the PS3 hardware. Despite persistent rumors regarding a potential PS5-based collection or a new project in the works, nothing has been officially announced by Sony or Sucker Punch.
For now, trophy hunters have until the end of August to return to New Marais and secure their progress. With no current way to play these titles on modern hardware, the looming shutdown marks a definitive end to a specific chapter of the series' history on the PS3.
