15 'Always Online' Games That You Can't Play Anymore

14. Radical Heights

Poor Cliff Bleszinski; he hasn't had the easiest time in the video game industry since Gears of War 3 and his departure from Epic Games in 2012. Since forming Boss Key Productions in 2014, the developer has released two games during its active years, one of them being Radical Heights and the other, well, we'll see later in the list. 

After LawBreakers failed to reach its intended audience, Boss Key Productions rushed out Radical Heights in the hopes that it would catch the popularity wave that games like Fortnite and PUBG were riding. But it's on this list. Which means it did not catch on. In fact, it did so poorly at release that it only lasted 3 months online in 2018 and was eventually shut down in July 2018. But that's not all; the game's failure also saw the closure of Boss Key Productions in May of the same year. 

Radical Heights made its way to Steam as an early-access title. But in a world where we see early-access titles like Subnautica, Ark: Survival Evolved and Valheim, Radical Heights just didn't match up to that kind of quality. It was later found out that the developers only worked on Radical Heights for 5 months before pushing it out the door, and unfortunately, it showed.

Hey, I’m Matt. I work full-time at WhatCulture's neighbours, MyVoucherCodes. I first joined MyVoucherCodes as a Deals Expert, scouring the internet, leaving no stone unturned in finding the best discount codes, sales and offers for our customers. Moving into my first home during the worst possible time (during lockdown), I understand the necessity of saving money when the purse strings are tight. Outside of saving money, I’m into video games, movies, books and music. I host and edit a video game podcast called The Retry Hard Podcast, where my friend and I go through news, reviews and video games in general. I love movies and watching how they’re made, and I’ve worked as a set decorator for a few months on His Dark Materials season 3, which gave me a massive insight into how it all comes together. I also put out music as a solo artist named Matt Kiano, where I won the award for Best Male Artist of 2025 for Radio Wigwam and have been nomiated for Best Live Act at the 2026 Radio Wigwam Awards.
