Sony announces shutdown of the PlayStation Store for the PS3 and Vita
The end has come for the PlayStation 3 and the PlayStation Vita. After supporting the PSN Store on the PS3 and PS Vita since 2006 and 2011 respectively, Sony has announced that they plan to shut down digital purchases soon. This August, both systems will lose access to the PS Store in Mexico, Honduras, and Nicaragua. By the end of the year, support for the Middle East and Latin America will follow suit. All other regions will see the PS Store shut down in July 2027, ending the ability to purchase new games digitally on either platform. Games already purchased prior to the shutdown dates on either system will still be able to be re-downloaded, at the very least, for the foreseeable future.
