Amazon Games is Shutting Down Yet Another Live-Service Game
Amazon Games has announced that its 2025 co-op action game King of Meat will end service on April 9, 2026, barely six months after launch. The decision to shut down comes as part of a broader retrenchment of Amazon's live-service gaming ambitions following years of high-profile cancellations and shutdowns. According to King of Meat developer Glowmade, the game didn't find the audience and player numbers targeted by devs and Amazon Games alike, with projections hoping for around 100,000 concurrent players, but Steam charts peaking at a 320 all-time record three months ago, with 9 players online at the moment of writing.
