SingStar users will be able to play offline and use their downloaded content after January 31, 2020, but all online functions and features will end on that date. (Pocket-lint) - Fans of the PlayStation karaoke game SingStar might be shocked to learn that the servers are scheduled to be switched off, bringing to an end a number of the online features that the game offered.Sony Interactive Entertainment is turning off the servers for SingStar, 15 years after the launch of the first game in the series. SingStar was a breakthrough game in many ways it was first released in 2004 on the PlayStation 2, with many different song collections available to buy. Fan-Favorite Features Return on PS4 The SingStar you know and love returns on the PS4 with classic features, including pitch detection, incorporation of real music videos, as well as microphone and camera support to enhance that on-stage feeling. The wired mics moved over to wireless mics and integration with the EyeToy enhanced the fun even further - it was a great party game and a perfect way to embarrass yourself. Use the SingStar Mic app to play SingStar on your PS3 system or PS4 system. With full access to the SingStore, players can access a robust library of PS4 tracks with. Please note: this app acts only as a microphone and a playlist creator. Revamped and updated, the game sports a fresh new look, new songs, new features and is compatible with the unique SingStar Mic app. The fun continued onto the PlayStation 3 and it survived on the PlayStation 4 as an app, but it has now been confirmed that the servers will be switched off on 31 December 2020. That still gives you a year of online play, but after that, the game will revert to being an offline game. It's not all bad news, however: everything you have on disc will continue to work and any songs that you've purchased and downloaded will also work - but once the servers go offline, you'll not be able to access any new songs and downloads will be restricted to songs you have already purchased.

You'll also not be able to share anything to social platforms either.

You will be able to take snapshots to your hard drive, however and you'll still get things like Party Mode and high score tracking, but it will be offline instead. The thing that always appealed to us about SingStar was the quality of the mics. Even though our vocal performances were far from good, at least we always felt the part.
