Vale destacar que It appears the systems' latest updates have introduced a 30-day online license check for digital games, leaving those who have extended internet outages without access to certain games. Several users, including the game-accessibility Twitter account Does it play? , have reported that all new PlayStation Store purchases--those made before March 2026 appear to be unaffected--feature a 30-day timer that shows when you will need to connect to the internet again before losing access.

This timer doesn't appear to be visible on the PS5, but according to Does it play?, it is still being tracked in the background. Potential major DRM issue rolled out by PlayStation (and Xbox as well, allegedly). All new PSN purchases now have a 30 day validation countdown. Already investigating to find out more details.
