Media Molecule to Shut Down Tearaway.me Companion Site

Players must download stored photos and profiles now to avoid permanent loss when the hub goes offline.

Overview

  • The Tearaway.me companion site will be taken permanently offline on August 13, 2026, removing features for profile pages, photo uploads, and community sharing.
  • Media Molecule said core single-player play and trophy progression in Tearaway and Tearaway Unfolded will keep working but warned specific in-game moments will show error messages after the shutdown.
  • Official printable papercraft assets will remain available on Media Molecule’s website so fans can still access and print designs.
  • The retirement notice was posted earlier but only gained attention after a ResetEra user flagged it, prompting coverage and community concern about losing a decade of shared photos and profiles.
  • The shutdown highlights wider preservation issues for aging console-era companion services and creates a narrow window for players to export personal uploads before they become inaccessible.
