01 / Deadline

The UGC library is ending, not the offline campaign

PlayStation states that online support for the user-generated-content features in inFAMOUS 2 and inFAMOUS Festival of Blood ends on August 31, 2026. After that date, the server routes used to access, browse, upload, download, and play UGC missions will no longer work. The same notice says the offline features, including the main campaign, remain playable.

Ending

Server-backed UGC discovery, transfer, publishing, and play.

Remaining

The offline main campaign and other offline features.

Not promised

A public export, archive, or migration tool for community missions.

02 / Before August 31

Use the remaining server window for play, not speculative repair

  1. Finish missions you already intended to play. The official deadline is the only verified urgency.
  2. Record creator and mission names for your own notes. This preserves a reference, not the playable mission data.
  3. Capture only material you are permitted to capture. Do not re-upload another creator's work or present it as an archive.
  4. Keep the campaign save separate from UGC expectations. A server retirement is not evidence that the offline save is damaged.

03 / After the deadline

A missing green mission marker will be an expected service boundary

The original manual explains that downloaded community missions populate New Marais and appear through UGC markers after the feature unlocks. Once the server closes, a missing online catalog, failed browse route, or unavailable community mission should be classified as the retired service—not automatically as a console, disc, install, or campaign-save fault.

VerifiedThe main campaign remains playable according to PlayStation's current notice.

04 / Preservation boundary

Do not invent an export workflow that PlayStation has not documented

The current retirement notice names the unavailable server actions but does not publish a consumer export utility, a complete public archive, or a guarantee that downloaded missions remain usable offline. Historical PlayStation posts demonstrate the scale and creative value of UGC, but they are not current migration instructions.

UnknownWhether any specific community mission has an authorized independent archive or creator-provided preservation route.

05 / Stop line

Do not reinstall the game to restore a server that has closed

  1. Confirm that the failed action belongs to access, browse, upload, download, or play of online UGC.
  2. Return to an offline campaign route and test it separately.
  3. Investigate local storage only if a reproducible offline feature also fails.
  4. Preserve the current save state before any local repair attempt.
