TheHarryGamer99 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Will digital only games eventually become unplayable in the future when they eventually get delisted from the ps store, unless they have the game installed already? It is not as if the user can download a game if it is not on the store, even if they paid for it. Have anyone got a solution for this? Maybe have the games installed on a hard drive or a seperate ps achieve where you can access them or are we destined to lose games as time passes.

Lance_87 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) Games have been delisted for years, they're all playable and redownloadable, except online-only stuff of course (if they get shut down) and P.T. for PS4 Edited October 5, 2019 by Lance_87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KondeBra Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) That may happen someday. The Wii store is an example, they announced that, eventually, you will not be able to re-download your games.

The Wii store closure happened because Nintendo lived in a different world than Xbox 360 and PS3. They didn't even tie games to accounts, but to consoles... the "Nintendo Difference" Edited October 5, 2019 by Lance_87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything changes, and that is why you may or may not be able to re-download your games. Personally, I don't believe Sony will keep servers on 24/7 for PS3 games for a long time...

Yeah but I am not worried about the My Name is Mayo games I am worried about games like Crossing Souls Edited October 5, 2019 by TheHarryGamer99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHarryGamer99 Posted October 5, 2019 Author Share Posted October 5, 2019 At least the ps5 is backwards compatible. So we can probably enjoy these games for a while after the ps4 store is no longer supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
