PlayStation Digital Games Hit 30-Day Online Validation
TL;DR Summary
PlayStation reports a new 30-day online license verification for newly purchased digital PS4/PS5 games after March 2026, meaning players may lose access if their console goes offline for extended periods. It’s unclear whether this is an intentional DRM feature or a bug, and Sony hasn’t commented; older purchases before March 2026 appear unaffected.
