Delisting

Toro’s Friend Network was confirmed delisted no later than June 30th, 2015 when Sony terminated its online functionality. A statement on the game’s PlayStation Store page was added in advance of the date, stating only:

“Multi-player and all online features for this product will be terminated and will no longer be available on 6/30/2015.”

In January of 2015, Sony published a support article confirming the change of service and availability for several PlayStation Vita apps. Near, Maps, YouTube, Skype and Facebook were all to be removed from the PlayStation Store and their services stopped at various points throughout 2015 and 2016. Though Toro’s Friend Network was not included in this or any other announcement, it’s termination in 2015 likely fell under the purview of this decision.

In Japan, an announcement was made on the game’s PlayStation.com page that the service would be terminated on March 31, 2015.
