Sony is reportedly preparing to cease PlayStation Store services for both the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita. This move follows the company’s recent declaration of plans to conclude physical disc production by 2028, signaling a future primarily focused on digital releases for its console lineup. The discontinuation of the digital storefronts for these older systems marks another step in this evolving strategy.

For owners of the venerable PS3 and the handheld PS Vita, this change means the digital marketplace will soon become inaccessible for new purchases and potentially redownloads. The PS3, in particular, has enjoyed a remarkable run, nearing two decades of active support since its initial launch. While specific dates for the shutdown were not detailed, this development suggests a significant shift for users relying on the digital storefronts of these classic consoles. This report is based on information initially brought to light by GameSpot.
