Star Trek: Legends has been removed from the Nintendo Switch eShop, the publisher confirmed via a notice posted on the game's official Steam page.
The mobile/console title invited players to command the U.S.S. Artemis, recruit iconic heroes and villains from the Star Trek universe, and explore the Nexus.
The developer's announcement establishes a firm timeline for the game's delisting and eventual shutdown.
Delisting timeline and player access
According to the Steam post, Star Trek: Legends will be removed from digital storefronts beginning August 20, 2026.
The game will remain playable for users who have it installed until September 3, 2026, at which point servers will be taken offline and the title will no longer be playable.
The notice also indicates that console storefronts have already seen the title removed, with PC storefront removal scheduled to follow as part of the announced timeline.
What this means for owners
Players who purchased or downloaded Star Trek: Legends prior to the storefront removal will retain access under the usual digital-entitlement rules.
The announcement explicitly confirms that users who already own the game can continue to play until the September 3, 2026 shutdown and can redownload the title if they previously deleted it, up until the stated removal date.
Rewritten summary of the official message
The team behind Star Trek: Legends thanked the community for supporting the game since its launch, saying they were honored that players took command of the U.S.S. Artemis, assembled away teams, and explored the Nexus.
The developers described the decision to sunset the game as difficult, confirmed the August 20, 2026 removal from storefronts, and noted that the game will stop functioning entirely on September 3, 2026.
They closed by expressing gratitude to players and offering a final farewell.
Context in the Star Trek games space
This delisting follows other recent removals in the franchise’s game catalog; Star Trek: Resurgence was delisted for Nintendo Switch earlier this year.
As storefront delistings become more common, the handling of redownload rights and shutdown timelines remains an important consideration for players and preservation advocates.
For Switch owners: if you own Star Trek: Legends, ensure the game is redownloaded and backed up before the August 20, 2026 storefront removal to retain access through the announced September 3 server shutdown.
