According to some rumors, PS Store is probably getting an update this month. Major change will impact PS Vita and PS3 games.
We have just learned that the forthcoming reorganization of the PlayStation Store is to prepare for the arrival of the PS5, and this update will impact the purchase of PS Vita and PS3 games.
- Sony makes its own teardown of PS5 in a new video
- Which games will be released with the PS5 debut?
- Which PS4 accessories will work on PS5?
After October 19 2020 PS Store update, PS Vita, PS3 and PSP games and DLCs will no longer be available for purchase from the PCs. This will also apply to the PlayStation Store mobile on October 28, 2020. This situation also applies to purchases such as themes or avatars.
In the rest of this release, Sony clarifies that purchases will still be available on the Console Store. To purchase a PS Vita game, you will need to visit the PS Vita PS Store. It will be the same for the PS3. PSP games will be definitively inaccessible for players who have no other device than the PlayStation Portable.
It is important to specify that purchases made previously will always remain accessible from the PSN account download list.
When we consider this PS store update on the PS Vita, it forces us to repeatedly go through the PC or mobile version to make our purchases. This change is very bad news for the players, but also for the developers who will lose visibility on their PS Vita productions.
