HoYoverse’s BSide: Olivia Lin to End Online Services After Short Run

In a surprising move, HoYoverse has announced that its AI companion game, BSide: Olivia Lin, will be shutting down its online services. This decision comes just 28 days after the game officially entered Early Access.

Launched on July 13, 2026, on Steam for the Chinese audience, BSide: Olivia Lin aimed to blend AI interaction with immersive gameplay. However, it seems that the experience didn’t resonate with players as anticipated.

For those still interested in exploring the game, there’s a silver lining! An offline version of BSide: Olivia Lin is set to be available starting August 27 at 3 PM. This means players can continue to enjoy the game’s content, albeit without the online features.

While it’s always a bummer to see a game transition away from its online capabilities, fans of HoYoverse can still get a taste of what BSide: Olivia Lin has to offer in its offline state. Keep an eye out for any further updates from HoYoverse regarding this title!
