2 hours agoSony Wipes 1,000 Shovelware Entries From The PlayStation Store
Sony removed over 1,000 low-quality games from the PlayStation Store to improve user experience and reduce clutter.
Bad news for fans of The Jumping Burger: the PlayStation Store has excised the game, along with over 1,000 similar titles published by the same developer, in what appears to be an effort to clear the storefront of shovelware. German publisher ThiGames had its entire catalog of at least 1,196 games silently delisted. The company, as pointed out by streamer and "trophy hunter" RobThanatos on X, published the fourth-highest number of titles on the PlayStation Store. ThiGames has yet to publicly acknowledge the removals.
