The Switch version of Aliens: Fireteam Elite has been removed from sale and the servers will shut down on August 5

In August 2021, Cold Iron Studios released Aliens: Fireteam Elite on consoles and PC. It is a third-person cooperative shooter set in the Aliens universe. The title later arrived on Switch via a cloud version in 2023.

It is this version that has been removed from sale without any warning from the studio. The servers will shut down on August 5, 2026, making Aliens: Fireteam Elite unplayable. Note that this only affects the Switch version. The game will remain available and playable as usual on other platforms.

On the Nintendo console, the game suffered from numerous latency issues due to its cloud-based nature.
