Lego Racing Game Removed From Digital Stores

2K is set to delist Lego 2K Drive from digital storefronts on May 19, three years after the game's original release. The publisher confirmed the removal through various store pages, though online multiplayer servers will remain active until May 2027, after which all online features will cease functioning.

The delisting likely stems from expiring licenses, given the precise three-year timeline. Developed by Visual Concepts, the studio behind 2K's NBA and WWE titles, Lego 2K Drive offers an open-world racing experience similar to Forza Horizon and Mario Kart, featuring races, challenges, and creative objectives throughout its expansive environment.

Players appreciated the game's standout vehicle builder feature, which allowed for imaginative creations using virtual Lego pieces, though some criticized the offline races and aggressive monetization strategies. The delisting represents another instance of game preservation concerns as digital titles become increasingly vulnerable to removal from storefronts.
