The PlayStation Store experience is about to receive a review soon, as Sony makes plans to limit what is available to buy on the web and mobile versions of its digital store.
In an email sent to PlayStation development partners, which IGN has independently verified, Sony says that as of October 19 for the web and October 28 for mobile devices, certain digital products will no longer be available for your purchase.
This includes:
- PlayStation 3 games and add-ons
- PSP games and add-ons
- PlayStation Vita games and add-ons
- Applications
- Topics
- Avatars
Sony is also removing the “Your Wish List” feature and all games currently on the wish list will be removed.
In the future, customers will still be able to purchase PS3, PSP, and Vita titles from the PlayStation Store, but only directly from the system. Therefore, you will need a PS3 or Vita to buy any of the previous generation titles. And you will need a PS4 to buy apps, themes, and avatars.
Sony assured its partners that customers will keep content from previous generation systems they have previously purchased, as well as existing PS4 apps, themes and avatars.
Whether this move comes before a next-gen review or something else, IGN has reached out to Sony for further clarification. In the meantime, check out our PS5 guide for the latest information on Sony’s next-gen plans.
