EA is shutting down BF4 on PlayStation.
I've been hosting Sloth Alliance servers on PlayStation for over five years. About a month ago, we noticed the option to renew or create new servers disappeared from the server menu. After checking with other long-time hosts (Smokeys, DIXS, Pro, Shanghai All Day, Durka), they all confirmed the same issue. This means once a server expires, it's gone for good. Our Premiums server has already been lost because we couldn't renew it.
If existing servers aren't renewed in the next few weeks, they will permanently shut down.
I don't know if this is EA trying to quietly shut down Battlefield 4 communities, push people to Battlefield 2042, or just force players into Quick Match using DICE-owned servers. Either way, it feels like we've been abandoned. To make it worse, there's been no official announcement, and as many of you know, the EA forums are completely useless no answers, no updates.
Please share this. We need visibility before more community servers disappear.
Update 07/11/2025,
EA has confirmed they're not shutting the servers down, yet, and they've fixed the server renewal issue. Thank you all for putting pressure on EA to fix it.

What if the new game is shit? What if the new games are TRASH incarnate that cater to 10 year olds with ADHD, addicted to OP Aim Assist? What if 2042 is the residue of a giant shit EA/DICE took all over the playerbase? What if BF6 ushers in the return of the Anti-Christ, destroying the seires for all Battlefield veterans? 2042 flopped hard and BF6 will flop even harder. These old games you so cavalierly discard are all that remains of a once great franchise. Show some respect.
