As it turn out, Aliens: Fireteam Elite has been delisted from the Nintendo Switch’s eShop. The cloud title is no longer available to purchase on the console, and will become fully unplayable on August 5, 2026.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite is a cooperative third-person survival shooter set in the Aliens universe, with the only Nintendo Switch release of the game being a cloud version. Since it’s 2023 launch, many users have reported experiencing harsh latency issues as cloud gaming doesn’t mesh well with the online multiplayer focus of the game. Now less than two years after the title’s release on Nintendo Switch, it has been unceremoniously removed from the eShop.

If you have purchased the software, you’ll be greeted by this message:
