Less than a year after launch, the Razer Game Store is closing its doors. The website will officially close on Feb. 28 as part of the company’s realignment plans.

The Razer Game Store was announced as a new digital distribution platform for PC games, offering customers instant access to thousands of digital games available to purchase as Steam or Uplay product keys last year.

The site is currently accessible in the United States, United Kingdom, and Europe, with other countries supported through a global storefront with prices based on U.S. dollars.

Visitors to the site can now see a small announcement of “Razer Game Store Closure. More info” near the top of the home page. Clicking the link brings up a page with the following message:

Dear Gamers,

We regret to announce that Razer Game Store (gamestore.razer.com) will cease operations on February 28, 2019 at 0100hrs Pacific Time as part of the company’s realignment plans.
