For a while now, people in the gaming industry have been discussing game preservation and how to go about it. Although there's a case to be made for the preservation of incredible titles such as The Last of Us, some games are simply shovelware that needs to be canned. This brings us to CrossfireX.

According to a recent announcement from Remedy Entertainment, the first-person shooter game will be discontinued on May 18. The Xbox exclusive, which launched on February 10 of last year, will now be added to the ever-growing list of live-services games that have been discontinued, which also includes Epic Games' Rumbleverse and EA's Knockout City.
