Lego 2K Drive is set to be delisted from storefronts next week, an update to its various pages by publishers 2K has revealed. The brick-heavy racer’s listings are biting the dust three years on from its release in 2023, with its online servers set to follow around this time next year.
“This product will no longer be available for purchase as of 05/19/2026,” reads the delisting notice slapped across 2K Drive’s Steam page, as spotted over on ResetEra. “NOTE: All multiplayer servers for LEGO 2K Drive will be shutdown as of 05/31/2027. After that time, all game functions requiring online servers will no longer function.”
While there’s no reason given for the rather abrupt delisting, one would assume given the timeframe and the game’s toy-based nature that expiring licensing agreements could be the culprit.
Blending kart racing with Forza Horizon-esque open world roaming, it earned a mixed verdict from Ed Thorn (RPS in peace) in his Lego 2K Drive review on release. “Lego 2K Drive lacks the purity I’d hoped it would bring to the kart racing table,” he wrote. “There’s still plenty of character and a bustling world filled with charm, all slickly presented. The races are great fun, with some fantastic tracks to blast around with your pals online or off. But there’s no escaping the live service roadblocks, which casts the game in the same unfortunate pall as so many other recent games.”
Getting a bit more specific about those live service hiccups, the Thorn’s discontent was rooted in these elements being pretty pointless. “I liked unlocking new vehicles, but not once did I consider the EXP I’d earned and the level I’d attained anything other than a sequence of massive gates I’d need to slowly prize open,” he wrote. “And not once did I think, “Hmmm, I’d better go and earn some EXP to make winning a bit easier!”, because the perks and the green bars and the whatnots didn’t ever seem to make any difference. Even the rate at which you earn currency is stingy, so spending in the in-game shop is a push. And yes, there’s a battle pass and premium currency called BrickBux and I wouldn’t be surprised if the algorithm is engineered to loosen the bank of mum and dad.”
Make sure to grab it by May 19th – next Tuesday as I write this – if the more positive bits of that verdict have you keen to give the game a go before it bricks out of existence.
