    Sony will launch the new PlayStation Store between October 21st – 26th on web, October 28th on mobile; removes the ability to purchase PS3/PSP/PS Vita games via web/mobile

    The time is approaching to Sony’s new revamped PlayStation Store. The new store launches between October 21st and 26th on web with mobile following up on October 28th. This update will remove the ability to purchase PS3/PSP/PS Vita games from web/mobile along with PS4 themes, apps and avatars. Additionally, the wishlist feature will be removed as well. With the new update coming soon, Sony is pushing their infrastructure for the upcoming PS5. Unfortunately, this means that classic games from previous generation PlayStation consoles will no longer be available for purchase unless the player owns those respective consoles. The day will come when Sony will shut down PS3 and PS Vita storefronts like the PSP. We recommend getting fan favorite games from said platforms before the time comes.
