Delisting
Driver San Francisco was delisted between July 11th and August 11th, 2016 on Xbox 360. The PlayStation 3 version was presumably delisted around the same time. The Steam version was then delisted on December 9th, 2016 and the Uplay version presumably delisted that same month. No explanation or advanced notice was given but the reason for the delisting is likely due to the game’s impressive playlist of licensed songs.
The game remains available on physical media for Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. Ubisoft’s homepage for the game links to Amazon where it was available to download on PC through late 2019. The digital Uplay versions of the game were available to buy from GameStop in North America in December of 2020 but were sold out no later than April of 2021.
