Fuser server shutdown postponed until early 2023

Harmonix has announced that music game Fuser's planned discontinuation later this month will be delayed, with a new date to be announced in early 2023, although the game and DLC will still be delisted next week. [updated]

Update: Harmonix's planned closure of the Fuser servers will no long take place next week on Monday December 19th as originally announced. The shutdown has been delayed into next year with a new date set to be announced in early 2023 — potentially giving players a chance to earn those time-gated achievements after all — although the game and its DLC are still set to be delisted on the 19th as originally planned.

Original story: If you've got a few Fuser achievements still to tie up, you might want to move quickly; Fuser and all its DLC will be delisted on December 19th, while the game's live services will also be disabled, discontinuing multiple achievements.

Fuser online services shutting down on December 19th

"We want to thank you for mixing with us. On December 19th, we will be disabling Fuser's live services and all sales of the game, as well as its DLC," the announcement states. "Players who already own Fuser will still be able to play the Campaign and Quick Play with any DLC they have already acquired."

This shutdown of Fuser's live services will likely render a number of community-based achievements discontinued, a dozen by our count — The Work of Your Predecessors, Get the Party Started, Keep the Party Going, Good Vibes, Keep the Good Vibes Flowing, Brand Loyalty, Whip Something Up Real Quick, Show 'Em What You've Got, Diversified Portfolio, Hearts and Earholes, Community Service, and More than a Hobby. More than a Hobby, which requires eight weeks' worth of voting and submissions for events, seems like it will already be impossible without having at least four weeks' progress in the bag, while Community Service may only be possible from scratch for another few days based on the time remaining.

Sad to see servers close for Fuser? Need any of those achievements? Let us know down in the comments!
