Official support for Marvel’s Avengers ends September 30, which means from that date you’ll no longer be able to buy Crystal Dynamics’ ill-fated superhero adventure. Thankfully, a dramatic sale is now in place — just in the nick of time.
Marvel's Avengers - The Definitive Edition is 90% off in a deal that ends September 30, the same day it’ll disappear forever. That makes the game just a few dollars shy of free.
The sale arrived alongside a note from Crystal Dynamics about the game’s delisting. While Marvel's Avengers will no longer be for sale, it will remain playable for owners largely as it is today, the studio said.
Specifically, all currently available content will continue to be available as-is for solo and multiplayer play after September 30. If you own the game, it will remain in your game library for download and reinstallation after that date. Even limited-time events like the Red Room Takeover will continue to run after September 30, on a two-week rotation. Reoccurring mission chains, events, and rewards will continue to refresh on the cadences they always have, Crystal Dynamics explained. All Operations and the War for Wakanda Expansion will continue to be playable as they are now.
However, support for Marvel’s Avengers ends September 30, which means no customer support and no more updates.
“Thank you to all our players for joining us on these adventures and letting us tell our stories with Kamala, Bruce, Tony, Steve, Nat, Thor, Clint, Kate, T'Challa, Pete, Jane, and Bucky,” Crystal Dynamics said.
“For anyone who hasn’t joined us yet, we hope you jump on this final chance to join Earth’s Mightiest Heroes alongside your friends.
“Remember: good isn’t a thing you are; it’s a thing you do.”
Marvel’s Avengers got its final patch in March, just under three years after the game came out. It made many of the game's cosmetics more accessible, fully removing the Shipments and Hero Challenge Cards systems and instead putting their rewards in the Marketplace. The update also automatically converted players' Credits balances into in-game resources and turned Hero's Catalysts and Fragment Extractors into a permanent 1.5x multiplier on earned Fragments and XP.
IGN gave Marvel's Avengers a 6/10 in our review, praising its campaign but criticising its loot-based endgame and limited mission variety at launch.

There might be a PS5 'Slim' on the way, according to recent reports and rumours, but for now we're still seeing some exemplary deals on the highly sought-after base console. The latest discount comes in the form of a bundle with EA Sports FC 24, dropping to just £409.99 at select retailers in the UK. This isn't as good as the £400 offer we saw a couple of months back, but considering it includes a brand new game and is well below the asking price of £540, you're still bagging an incredible discount this time around.

We’re less than a month away from the release of Super Mario Bros Wonder, and many people are wondering just how good the game will be. Just from the “eye test” level, gamers expect this to be a title that will be, at the very least, unique to play, given all the gimmicks thrown at it. But as time has gone on, they’ve noticed that this could be one of the deepest 2D experiences with Mario in some time. That’s not to say that past titles in this vein were bad, but instead, that Nintendo has truly taken things to the next level here.
