Grand Saga is shutting down on April 30th, 2025, ending its brief international run. In-app purchases are already disabled, and players have until May 30th to request refunds for past purchases (though success isn't guaranteed depending on usage and store policies).
Launched in Japan in 2021 to considerable success, the global version, debuting only in November 2024, lasted less than six months. Financial instability and the challenges of competing in a saturated global market are cited as reasons for the closure. Established games with loyal player bases make it difficult for newcomers to break through without a truly innovative concept. Despite its initial Japanese success, that momentum failed to translate internationally.
This closure reflects a broader trend of gacha RPG shutdowns. The competitive mobile gaming market makes it difficult for many titles to survive long-term.
For players of Grand Saga, this is undoubtedly disappointing news. However, if you're looking for alternative MMO experiences, check out our list of the best MMOs available on Android.
