System Shock 2 (1999) is being delisted on October 10 for PC for standalone purchases

Nightdive Studios has announced that it will be delisting the original System Shock 2 (1999) for standalone purchases, but it will be included with System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster purchases for new and existing owners.

What this means is, if you want to buy the original System Shock 2 (1999) after October 10, you will only be able to get it with the purchase of the remaster. It will be delisted for standalone purcahses. You can still buy it on Steam for a day or two (depending on when you read this article) ahead of it being delisted for standalone purchases. If you already own it, you will be able to re-download it from your library and play it as usual. 

If you haven't already done so, you can read my interview with Stephen Kick from Nightdive Studios about the remaster and a lot more here, Adam's full review of the remaster here, and my Steam Deck feature on the game here.

System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster is now available for PC (Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store) PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

System Shock 2 (1999) will be delisted from PC platforms on October 10, 2025.

Existing owners of System Shock 2 (1999) will still be able to re-download and play it from their library, but new users will no longer be able to purchase System Shock 2 (1999) as a standalone product.

At the time of delisting, System Shock 2 (1999) will be made available with the purchase of System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster. Both new and existing owners of System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster will be able to access System Shock 2 (1999) from their library at no additional cost.
