PS5 DRM Alarm: 30-Day License Checks Spark Preservation Fears as Sony Goes Quiet
A growing debate surrounds an alleged new DRM on PlayStation consoles that requires online license verification every 30 days for newly purchased digital games. Recent tests (including a PS5 Pro) reportedly show the system displaying a license check and locking content if the CMOS battery is removed, though access can be restored by reconnecting to the internet. Sony has not commented, fueling concerns about future preservation if servers go offline. The issue remains unconfirmed as either a bug or intentional DRM, with updates and videos continuing to surface while the company awaits a statement.
