"Players who have stumbled into this odd feature are saying all PlayStation Store purchases made after March 2026 now feature a 30-day timer showing how long players have until they must connect to the internet and renew the game's license."
"GameStop is already capitalizing on the bad press surrounding Sony's digital game license timers, urging players to 'start a real collection you can play, share, and trade.'"
"GameStop is offering a deal where customers can get a 10% discount when purchasing two to three preowned games, a 20% discount when purchasing four to five, or a whopping 30% when purchasing six or more preowned physical titles."
Sony has introduced a feature mandating PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 users to connect to the internet every 30 days to renew licenses for digital games. Players report a 30-day timer on purchases made after March 2026, and failure to connect results in losing access to these games. GameStop is leveraging this situation by promoting preowned game sales, offering discounts without requiring a membership. The status of the digital license timers remains uncertain, with speculation about whether it is a bug.
