According to The Gamer, Sony plans to close the PSP and PS3 game stores on July 2, 2021, and the PS Vita version will be postponed to August 27.

After the expiration, the corresponding game store will be permanently closed and no longer provide services, so users will not be able to purchase new games at that time, and can only continue to run the downloaded games.

Sony has not yet issued an official announcement. The media said that the accuracy of the news is extremely high. If there are no accidents, Sony will issue an official announcement at the end of this month.

Of course, the media expressed that they look forward to Sony’s last-minute sales promotion, so that old game console players can buy games as much as possible before the store closes.

As for whether Sony will engage in promotional activities at the last moment, there is no news for the time being. After all, there are very, very few active players on PSP and PS3 at the moment.
