The day of the shut down will be on February 1, 2016. After that date the servers will be closed and cannot be played even by those who have the game. However, there is a bit of light at the end of the tunnel.
The game’s microtransactions have been removed, and Insomniac will be giving players a large amount of free Star gems which is the game’s currency. So, log on now and spend away!
Insomniac has stated that millions of people did play Outernauts across all the systems it was available since it was released in 2012. Sadly, that was not enough as the server costs started to outweigh the player count.
Players should note that wile Insomniac is offering players who used actual cash on the game to a chance spend their in game currency, they will not handle any requests for refunds. Outernauts was technically a free game, so refund requests much go through Google or Apple.
