The latest software update released by Sony will upset PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita owners. Sony’s tendency to gradually cut support for its old consoles has been worrying old console owners for a while. Sony, which made the move to close its digital stores for PS3, Vita and PSP last year, then had to take a step back as a result of pressure from gamers. But it looks like it is preparing to retire its old machines in the near future.

According to the latest statement from the company, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita owners can no longer transfer PS3 games to PS Vita. Announcing that content cannot be transferred from PS3 consoles to PS Vita systems since May 11, 2022, Sony also states that existing PlayStation Plus subscriptions will not be affected by these changes. Gamers will be able to access and download all available PlayStation Plus content.

In addition, Sony said that the content already purchased will continue to be accessed from the relevant devices, on the other hand, PS3 and PS Vita owners will now need a Device Setup Password to log in to their systems. Game lovers who want to download games directly to PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita need to set up a 2-step verification password on PlayStation Network.
