Microsoft announced that it will no longer be supporting the Project Spark App.

Microsoft has officially removed the app from all of its online stores and plans to close its online servers on 12 August 2016.

This was confirmed by community manager Thomas Gratz on the game’s official website:

“For existing users of Project Spark, online services will be unavailable after 8/12/16.”

 

Without services, players will no longer be able to download user-generated content or upload their own creations. If you want to access user-generated content offline, you will need to download this content prior to 8/12/16.

 

Be sure to download your favorite community creations and your own uploads if they are not saved locally.”

Microsoft has said that anyone who bought a retail copy of Project Spark will receive credit on their Microsoft account as compensation.
