Sony confirms it's added "one-time" DRM to digital PlayStation games requiring you to go online to avoid losing access, but doesn't comment on "CBOMB" issue
Sony has confirmed a new one-time online DRM check for newly purchased PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 digital games to verify licenses. While this aims to prevent refund exploits, the company has not addressed concerns about the 'CBOMB' issue, which could prevent access to games if a console's CMOS battery fails, potentially impacting long-term game preservation.
