Our brand-new PlayStation Store launches on web and mobile from October 21 to 26, 2020*, and we are making some changes to the content you can access on PlayStation Store via your desktop and mobile devices.

What is changing?

The following changes will come into effect online from October 21 to 26, and on mobile on October 28:

  • You will no longer be able to buy:
    • PlayStation 3 games and add-ons
    • PSP (PlayStation Portable) games and add-ons
    • PlayStation Vita games and add-ons
    • Apps
    • Themes
    • Avatars
  • The Wishlist feature will be discontinued and any items currently on “Your Wishlist” will be removed.
What does this mean for you?

The content listed above will no longer be available to buy on PlayStation Store when accessed via a desktop or mobile device. However, you will still be able to buy PlayStation 3, PSP, or PS Vita content by accessing PlayStation Store directly from your PlayStation 3, PSP**, or PS Vita. PlayStation 4 apps, themes, and avatars can also be downloaded via PlayStation Store on your PlayStation 4 console.

What about the content you already own?

You will still be able to access all your previously purchased PlayStation 3, PSP, or PS Vita content as before. Your existing PlayStation 4 apps, themes, and avatars will remain on your PlayStation 4 console.

Where can you find out more?

If you have any questions about these changes, please visit PlayStation Support.

The asterisks are from gematsu editor's note where I read the post:

*Editor’s Note: While the email says the changes will come into effect from October 21 to 26, the PlayStation Support website says October 19. The October 21 to 26 dates are more recent than the October 19 date, which was first mentioned in an email sent to PlayStation publisher and developer partners last week.

**Editor’s Note: Despite the email implying PSP content can be purchased via PlayStation Store on PSP, PlayStation Store has not been accessible on PSP since March 2016.

Looking forward to seeing what other changes come into effect. And I can't wait to try out the PS Store experience on the PS5 itself!

Sony said “This is PS Store for PS5,” introduced the PlayStation Blog’s Sid Shuman. “It’s completely integrated into the system – it’s not a standalone app anymore. Browsing for new games to play will be easier thanks to the speed of the PS5 and a more personalised store experience.”

So yeah I think accessing the psn store from Ps5 should be great.

There are smaller Windows Gaming laptops, Windows based handheld console PC and tablets with a controller case which can be good for gaming on the go. Depending on the system requirements, you maybe able to play a game on some Windows Mini PC which is the size of a computer mouse or cell phone.

Well I should clarify more, it was never released on PSP in English.

It was basically a miracle that they even released the second game on PSP, because it took Xseed 9 years to translate it, as the first one came out in 2006. The second game was released digital only... in 2015.

So by the time Xseed finished translating the third game, it was 2017, and both the PSP and Vita were dead, so resources were focused on just the PC version.
