PS3 and PS Vita digital stores are closing starting August 2026
Sony Interactive Entertainment will close the PlayStation Store for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita in select markets starting August 2026, with a wider closure in July 2027. This decision is due to the platforms no longer supporting necessary updates for modern commerce systems. Sony also announced an end to physical disc production for new PlayStation games starting January 2028, reflecting a shift towards digital media.
