Sony is closing the PS3 and Vita digital stores

Sony is shutting down the PlayStation store on PS3 and PS Vita, marking the end of an era for the digital distribution service on these consoles. The closure will begin in select markets, including Mexico, Honduras, and Nicaragua, starting in August, with additional countries in Latin America and the Middle East to follow in late 2026. The shutdown will be complete in all other countries by July 2027, after which users will no longer be able to purchase new content. However, users will still be able to download games they have previously purchased after the shutdown date.
