""Players can continue to access and play their purchased games as usual. A one-time online check is required after purchase to confirm the game's license, after which no further check-ins are needed.""
""Some gamers theorized it may have been done to prevent exploits of Sony's 14-day window for digital game returns.""
""The whole episode brought back bad memories from the 2013 Xbox One launch when Microsoft announced that the console would do daily DRM check-ins, then reversed course after a huge backlash.""
Sony clarified that its digital rights management system does not require monthly license checks for PlayStation games. Instead, newly purchased digital games will receive a perpetual license after a single online verification post-purchase. Concerns arose among players regarding potential unplayability if offline for over a month, but Sony confirmed that no ongoing checks are necessary. The initial confusion stemmed from a timer that some speculated was to prevent exploitation of the digital return policy, reminiscent of past controversies with Xbox One's DRM policies.
