Attention all gamers and achievement hunters! A sad announcement has been made that will impact the future of a beloved dungeon crawler. The King of Meat servers are closing, and it's a bitter-sweet moment for fans.
Amazon Games and Glowmade, the developers behind this co-op adventure, have decided to pull the plug on the game's servers, effectively ending its Xbox achievements and multiplayer capabilities. But here's where it gets controversial: the game is only five months old!
According to the developers, King of Meat, a hilarious and action-packed platformer, didn't quite capture the attention of a large enough audience. As a result, they've announced that the game will be shut down on April 9, 2026, and all owners will be refunded. That's right, a full refund is on its way for anyone who purchased the game or its Stamp packs. Amazon assures us that Microsoft will process these refunds between February 24 and April 9.
While you can still play King of Meat until the fateful date, it's already been removed from the Microsoft Store, meaning new players won't be able to join the fun. And this is the part most people miss: since King of Meat is an online-only game, all achievements will disappear once the servers are shut down. If you're an achievement hunter, the 1,000G completion looks like a challenging feat, estimated to take around 100 hours of gameplay.
So, are you going to dive into King of Meat and aim for the completion before its servers go dark? Let us know in the comments! It's a race against time, and a unique opportunity to experience this game before it becomes a digital relic.
