Delisting
Micro Machines World Series was likely delisted on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One by the end of March or early in April of 2021. The game was last featured in a March 23rd PSN sale in Europe, while a Google Cache archive confirms that it was still available as late as March 29th. The game remained available on Steam until it was delisted on February 10, 2023.
The cause for the delisting most likely relates to expired licensing of the Micro Machines property from Hasbro. The game features other Hasbro properties as well including Hungry Hungry Hippos, NERF, Ouija, and G.I. Joe.
