Sony has indefinitely decommissioned the PlayStation 4 servers for puzzle platformer LittleBigPlanet 3, the company announced in an update to one of its support pages. The permanent shutdown comes just months after the servers were temporarily taken offline due to ongoing issues. Fans now fear potentially hundreds of thousands of player creations not saved locally will be lost for good.

“Due to ongoing technical issues which resulted in the LittleBigPlanet 3 servers for PlayStation 4 being taken offline temporarily in January 2024, the decision has been made to keep the servers offline indefinitely,” Sony wrote in the update, first spotted by Delisted Games. “All online services including access to other players’ creations for LittleBigPlanet 3 are no longer available.”

I wonder what is the main reason for Sony not being able to maintain the LittleBigPlanet 3 servers.

This is a shock and does make you wonder what the real reason was for keeping the servers offline indefinitely.

Not too sure how many people still playing Little Big Planet 3 but it is a shame for anyone who did and now is unable to do so.

It's always sad to see a favored game lose its servers. But let's face it were on the 3 years of the PS5 being released. We are probably going to see a lot more PS4 servers taken offline.

I've been on the internet long enough that digital stuff being yeeted into the void no longer shocks me.

I bet, Sony decided to turn off LittleBigPlanet 3 servers, so Sony can save some money on hosting. I imagine the LittleBigPlanet 3 servers may cost a lot of money to keep running.
