Lego 2K Drive will be delisted from digital storefronts on May 19, 2026, ending new digital sales worldwide [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. After the delisting date, players will not be able to purchase the game digitally, but will still be able to redownload and play it offline [1, 2, 4, 5]. The game's multiplayer servers and all online functionalities will remain active until May 31, 2027, when they will shut down permanently [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].
The game launched exactly three years ago, on May 19, 2023, for PC and consoles including Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S [2]. It is an open-world kart racing title allowing players to build vehicles from Lego bricks, blending creative building with racing gameplay. IGN called it a game where "your awesome transforming vehicle gives you the freedom to speed seamlessly across riveting racetracks, off-road terrain, and open waters" [2].
Lego 2K Drive received mixed to positive reviews, with Eurogamer rating it 3/5 stars, IGN giving it 8/10, and PC Gamer scoring it 59% [1, 2, 4]. Critics praised the charm and fun of the races but noted issues with in-game monetization. PC Gamer’s Lewis Parker described it as "a solid kart racer blemished by greedy microtransactions," citing the $50 digital currency bundle and premium currency called BrickBux as a poor fit for a game aimed at children [4]. Rock Paper Shotgun’s Ed Thorn said that the game had "plenty of character and a bustling world filled with charm" but also criticized the live service elements as a negative factor [3].
The delisting is likely linked to expiring licensing agreements for some featured vehicles, such as the McLaren Solus GT, although no official confirmation was given [3, 4, 5]. Players who want to purchase Lego 2K Drive digitally are urged to do so before May 19, 2026, to avoid losing access [1, 3, 5].
The Stop Killing Games campaign, which advocates for preserving online game functionality after servers shut down, mentioned 2K's delisting decision as part of ongoing concerns about the longevity of multiplayer titles [1, 2].
Lego 2K Drive will remain playable offline indefinitely for those who own it digitally before the delisting date. However, all online multiplayer features will cease on May 31, 2027, marking the end of official server support for the game [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].
