Sony clarifies PS4/PS5 DRM is a one-time license validation
Sony says the DRM check for newly purchased PS4/PS5 digital games is needed only once after purchase to verify the license; after this initial validation, players can continue to access their games offline with no further checks. The clarification follows reports of a 30‑day timer and claims that an online check around day 15 could convert a limited license to a permanent one.
