Attention all gamers: The servers for Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare are shutting down, but here’s the silver lining—the Xbox 360 version is safe... for now. But here's where it gets controversial: EA’s announcement has left players scratching their heads, as only the PS3 version is officially confirmed to go dark on April 28, 2026. So, why the silence on the Xbox 360? And this is the part most people miss—EA has a history of overlooking Xbox 360 versions during server shutdowns, like with Need for Speed Rivals. Could this be another oversight, or is the Xbox 360 truly in the clear? Let’s break it down.
If you’re still chasing those 65 achievements in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare on Xbox 360, now might be the time to dust off your controller. While EA hasn’t explicitly stated the Xbox 360 servers are closing, the lack of clarity is enough to raise eyebrows. The game and its DLC packs have been delisted, and it’s not backward compatible, so completing it requires an old Xbox 360 and a physical copy. Talk about a trip down memory lane!
For those aiming for 100% completion, our detailed walkthrough can guide you through every achievement. It’s estimated to take around 40 hours for all 65 achievements, or 25-30 hours for the base 1,000G. But here’s the kicker: if the servers do shut down, those achievements will be gone for good. So, is it worth the grind? That’s for you to decide.
Controversial question: Should EA be more transparent about server shutdowns, especially for older consoles? Or is it fair for them to prioritize newer platforms? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below. And if you’re planning to revisit this classic shooter, share your strategy—we’d love to hear it!
