Sony announced today that it will close the PlayStation Store online store on PS3 and PSP on July 2, 2021. In addition, the online store on PS Vita will also be closed, but it will be later and will be closed on August 27, 2021.
After the PS Store service on the above platforms ends, some resources can still be obtained:
After the PlayStation store is closed, what features can I use and purchase on PS3, PS VITA, and PSP devices?
Features you can still use:
- You can still download and play previously purchased games.
- Access previously purchased video/media content.
- Redeem game coupons and PS Plus.
- As long as you are still a member of PS Plus, you can still re-download and play the games you have received through PS Plus.
Features that will be lost:
- You will no longer be able to purchase digital content for PS3, PS Vita and PSP, including games and video content.
- You will not be able to make in-game purchases in PS3, PS Vita, and PSP games.
- Once the PS store and PS device purchase feature are closed, you will no longer be able to redeem PSN wallet fund coupons (for example, gift cards) on PS3, PS Vita, or PSP devices. The funds in your PSN wallet will remain in your PSN account.

However, you will only be able to use the funds in your wallet to purchase PS4 and PS5 products on the PS Store, PS App, or PS4 and PS5 game consoles on the network. In addition, today Sony also announced the closure of the way to access PS1, PS2, PS3, PS Vita and PSP’s PS stores through web browsers.
A specific URL still allows players to visit the old Sony store and purchase games from old consoles. However, the link has been disabled and will now be redirected to the new PlayStation Store, which only has PS4 and PS5 games.
In addition to the aforementioned PS3, PS Vita and PSP games, the company will also delete movies and shows from the PS4 PS store in the coming months. PS3 users may feel betrayed at this time, but this game console has a history of more than 15 years.
The situation is worse for PS Vita, which is not as old as PS3. This game console was the company’s last attempt in the portable game console market, but it ended in complete failure. PlayStation 4 players still use the PS Store, but it will eventually usher in this day.
