Sony imposes a one-time online license check for PS digital games, CBOMB concerns linger

Sony confirms a one-time online license verification for newly purchased PS4/PS5 digital games; after this check, the license can stay valid offline indefinitely if the check occurs within 15 days of purchase, replacing the earlier 30-day offline window. Sony did not address the unresolved CBOMB issue, which could prevent online validation if a CMOS battery dies and potentially lock out future titles. The move is speculated to curb a refund exploit, though Sony hasn’t confirmed this, and there are no additional official updates yet.

PlayStation DRM: 30-Day Online Checks Raise CBOMB Fears for New Digital Games

Sony is reportedly enforcing a 30-day online verification for newly purchased digital PS4/PS5 games, with access potentially blocked if the console doesn’t reconnect online. PS4 shows a visible countdown while PS5 lacks a timer, and a dead CMOS battery could trigger loss of access, reviving CBOMB-era concerns. Some digging suggests a transition on day 15 from a temporary offline license to an infinite offline license, possibly to curb refund exploits, but Sony has not publicly commented, fueling ongoing consumer-rights debates about mandatory online checks.
