"Hugely terrible DRM has now been rolled out to all PS4 and PS5 digital games. Every digital game you buy now requires an online check-in every 30 days. If you buy a digital game and don't connect your console to the internet for 30 days, your license will be removed."
"Modded Hardware shows that digital games purchased from March onwards on PlayStation 4 now seemingly come with a PlayStation Plus-style expiry date, if you're running on the latest 13.50 firmware."
"Potential major DRM issue rolled out by PlayStation (and Xbox as well, allegedly). All new PSN purchases now have a 30 day validation countdown."
Recent reports indicate that Sony has introduced a new DRM technology for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles. This DRM allegedly requires users to connect to the internet for validation of digital purchases after a 30-day period. The claims originated from a video by Modded Hardware, which demonstrated that digital games purchased from March onwards now have an expiry date under the latest firmware. Lance McDonald further amplified the issue, stating that failure to connect within 30 days results in the removal of game licenses. DoesItPlay also confirmed the issue.
