TL;DR

Sony announced the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita digital storefronts will close next year (2027) in most regions, with Latin American stores shutting earlier in Aug 2026 and others by late 2026; production of physical discs will end in 2028. Purchases will remain downloadable “for the foreseeable future,” but PS5’s lack of native backward compatibility means many titles could become unobtainable.
