PS5 Confirmed to Be Affected by Game Expiry Issue, Sony Still Silent on DRM Worries
Sony is reportedly implementing a new DRM policy that requires PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 owners to connect to the internet every 30 days to verify game licenses. Testing indicates that newly purchased digital games on PS4 and PS5 are affected, with some failing to load when offline and the console's CMOS battery removed. This has raised significant concerns about game preservation should Sony's servers ever be taken offline.
