Microsoft to shut down Windows 7 Games Servers on January 22, 2020
Microsoft revealed in a forum post on the official Microsoft Answers forum that it plans to shut down games servers for games that require Internet connectivity for its Windows 7, Windows XP, and Windows ME operating systems.
Windows 7 has just a few months of support left under its belt. Microsoft will end support for the operating system on January 14, 2020 after a last Tuesday Patch Day for the operating system in January 2020.
Notifications about the upcoming end of support are already pushed to customer devices.
Enterprise and Education customers may extend support by up to three years but everyone else is out of luck. Windows 7 systems will continue to work for the most part but some features may become unavailable.
Microsoft Internet Games that are part of Windows 7 won't be playable anymore starting January 22, 2020.
