uploader.jp To End Service On November 25, 2026
The service held fan-made Japanese localization patches that had no official equivalent, and those files disappear with it, so the Japanese PC community loses a working archive rather than a backup.
Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
uploader.jp, the free file storage service that includes getuploader.com and ux.getuploader.com, will close on November 25, 2026. The service announced the decision on its official X account, citing changes in usage conditions and other circumstances. All uploaded data will be deleted at 23:59 that day. Since 2006 it has hosted fan-made Japanese localization patches and mods for overseas PC games.
The uploader was never an official platform. It was a set of free storage spaces that domestic wikis and message boards pointed to, and creators kept the patches there because Steam Workshop and Nexus Mods had not become common in Japan. Some of those files were downloaded more than 220,000 times; the uploader for the Fallout 3 DLC Japanese Localization Project alone recorded over 1 million cumulative downloads.
The announcement gives no export plan. Files go at the end of November 25, 2026, and the patches for Oblivion, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Skyrim, Baldur's Gate, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., and Mount & Blade go with them.
