Come July 2nd it will no longer be possible to buy games on the PS3 or PSP online marketplaces, and come August 27th the same will apply to the Vita too. This will lead to a lot of digital only games to vanish (most likely) forever.

In total, around 2,200 digital-only games will disappear after the stores close, including:

  • Around 630 digital-only Vita games
  • Around 730 digital-only PS3 (PSN) games
  • A small number of digital-only PSP games
  • 293 PlayStation Minis
  • 336 PS2 Classics
  • Around 260 PS1 Classics (particularly on PSP and Vita)
The numbers above are estimates: Sony has pulled the online versions of the stores already which has made exact data more difficult to find.

A true crime.
 
Not surprised considering how old the consoles are and how small their player base must be. I wonder if it would be possible to make the games free for a while before taking them all down
 
It is sad to see so many games being lost from Sony's digital store. I feel many people who don;t already own these games may never get the chance to play these games or would need to wait many years to play the games if they ever get re-release for the PS4, PS5, PC, and mobile.
