Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble, the free-to-play mobile hero shooter Oh Bibi made with PlayStation Studios and Insomniac Games, is shutting down. Its final planned update rolled out November 6th, it leaves the App Store and Google Play on November 21st, and its servers go dark for good on May 1st, 2027, the game’s official site announced.

If you already have it installed, you can keep playing until then, with every mode, matchmaking and competitive play still running. Existing players can also reinstall it until November 21st. After May 1st, however, the game won’t load at all.

In-app purchases have already been removed. The Super Pass is now free, Qwark Pass seasons keep running until the servers shut down, and you have until May 1st, 2027 to spend any currency you earned or bought.

Refunds go through the stores. The FAQ says your eligibility for a refund on past purchases goes through Apple’s App Store or Google Play, and links to each store’s refund page.

Your progress goes with the servers. All player data is wiped on May 1st, 2027, and nothing you unlocked transfers to another game. You can ask support to delete your data sooner.

The shutdown lands less than four months after a big push. In a July PlayStation Blog post, Oh Bibi CEO Stanislas Dewavrin opened worldwide pre-registration and said the game was “gearing up for global launch” after soft launches in Canada, the Nordics, France and Asia. It promised 12 heroes and six modes at launch, including a battle royale-inspired mode and a football-inspired one.

The rewards for pre-registering were promised for that global launch. Now every player who logs into the final update gets them in their inbox.

If you want to try it before it’s gone, you have until November 21st to download it.
