Grand Saga is shutting down on April 30th, 2025, ending its brief international run. In-app purchases are already disabled, and players have until May 30th to request refunds for past purchases (though success isn't guaranteed depending on usage and store policies).

Launched in Japan in 2021 to considerable success, the global version, released in November 2024, lasted less than six months. The closure is attributed to financial difficulties and the challenges of competing in a saturated global mobile gaming market dominated by established titles. While initially promising, Gran Saga failed to gain significant traction internationally.

This closure reflects a broader trend of gacha RPG shutdowns. The competitive landscape makes it difficult for new games to establish themselves, particularly without a truly innovative element.

For players of Gran Saga, this news is undoubtedly disappointing. However, many similar titles have faced the same fate. If you're looking for alternative MMOs, check out our list of the best MMOs for Android.
