The file hosting service uploader.jp, which includes ux.getuploader.com, has announced it will terminate its services on November 25, 2026. According to the official announcement, the decision follows changes in usage patterns and various other circumstances.
Operating since 2006, the platform has served as a critical infrastructure for Japanese PC gamers and modders for approximately 20 years. It provided a space for distributing fan-made localization patches and mods for titles such as The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Skyrim, long before platforms like Steam Workshop became standard in Japan.
Beyond international titles, the service supported domestic indie games and creative tools, including Elona, CardWirth, and MikuMikuDance. Many files, such as those linked from long-standing wikis or created by authors who are no longer reachable, face permanent deletion. This poses a significant risk to the preservation of Japanese PC gaming and internet history, as many files carry licensing restrictions that complicate mirroring or redistribution.
All data, including uploaded files, will be deleted at the end of the final day of service. Users who manage their own data or require specific files are advised to complete backups or migrations before the November 25, 2026 deadline.
