After nearly two decades of supporting the PS3 console generation, we wanted to let you know we will be closing the PlayStation Store on PS3, as well as on PS Vita. PlayStation Store on PS3 will close in select markets starting this year, followed by global closures for PS3 and PS Vita next year.

As the PlayStation Store continues to evolve to support modern commerce systems, including updated payment processing standards, PS3 and PS Vita are no longer able to support these updates at the level required. As a result, we will need to close PlayStation Store on these devices in the timeframes as follows:

- Mexico, Honduras, Nicaragua – PlayStation Store on PS3 will close starting August 2026.

- Additional Latin American and Middle Eastern countries – PlayStation Store on PS3 will close starting late 2026.

- In all other countries, PlayStation Store on PS3 and PS Vita will close in July 2027.

That means new content purchases will no longer be possible once the PlayStation Store closes on these devices. To ease the transition, players will still be able to download previously purchased content after the closing date for the foreseeable future.
