Star Trek Legends Is Leaving PC and Going Offline

Star Trek Legends is set to vanish from digital storefronts and become unplayable, marking the second Star Trek game to disappear in 2026.

Star Trek Legends delisting dates

Emerald City Games announced on Friday that Star Trek Legends will be removed from PC storefronts on 20 August. The game had already disappeared from console storefronts earlier this year.

Purchasers will have only a short window after the PC delisting. The developer says the game will remain playable until 3 September, when its online services will be taken offline. Recent Steam player reviews suggest some users have already been unable to play for several days, raising the possibility that access has ended early for some players.

An Apple Arcade strategy RPG

Star Trek Legends began as an Apple Arcade release before moving to consoles and PC. It is a strategy RPG in which players assemble a crew of captains and other characters drawn from every era of Star Trek, then attempt to save the universe.

For players who want to preserve or revisit older digital games, this is another reminder that access can depend on servers and storefront licensing. Physical arcade projects face different considerations, including replacement controls and displays; RETROCADE’s Arcade Machine Buying Guide covers the practical factors involved in choosing dedicated hardware.

The second Star Trek game lost this year

Star Trek Legends follows Star Trek: Resurgence, which was delisted earlier in the summer. There is one important difference: people who bought Resurgence before its removal can still play it, while Legends is scheduled to become unavailable after its shutdown.

The situation also casts uncertainty over the lifespan of newer Star Trek releases. Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown is a survival-strategy simulation that received a pretty good reception after launching in February. Star Trek Legends spent two years on Steam, while Resurgence lasted about three years there. That makes February 2028 and February 2029 useful dates to watch for the Voyager game.

What is next for Star Trek games?

The next announced Star Trek title is Star Trek: Shadow Frontier, a horror game from the team behind the Silent Hill 2 remake.
