With GameSpy closing shop, a lot of games will be losing their online services. Borderlands on the PlayStation 3 is one of the games going offline next month, as well as other 2K titles, the publisher announced today. Online services for Borderlands and Civilization Revolution on the PS3 will be shutting down beginning May 31. 2K Games is currently looking at the “technical feasibility” of transitioning those titles to another Multiplayer service.

Online services for “select legacy titles” including; Borderlands on the PC and the Civilization catalog will temporarily be shutting down until 2K Games transitions to Valve’s Steamworks. Offline play will not be affected, “players will not experience interruptions to offline play for these titles.” 2K Games has said.

In a world fast approaching digital only services, it will be interesting to see how developers and publishers decide to keep their games running for years to come. Just think if you couldn’t boot up your old N64 or PlayStation 2 games anymore because they were run online.
