Sony has confirmed that it’ll be closing the PlayStation Store for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, and PSP (PlayStation Portable) devices this summer. The PlayStation Store for PS3 and PSP will remain open until July 2, 2021, while the PlayStation Store for the PS Vita will remain open until August 27, 2021. PS3, PS Vita, and PSP users will still be able to access and re-download previously purchased content, however.

Features you will still be able to access:

• You will still be able to re-download and play previously purchased game titles.
• You will still be able to access previously purchased video/media content.
• You will still be able to redeem game and PlayStation Plus vouchers.
• You will still be able to re-download and play claimed game titles through PlayStation Plus as long as you remain a member of the service.

Features you will lose access to:

• You will no longer be able to purchase PS3, PS Vita and PSP digital content, including games and video content.
• You will no longer be able to make in-game purchases through games on PS3, PS Vita and PSP.
• You will no longer be able to redeem PSN wallet fund vouchers (e.g. gift cards) on PS3, PS Vita or PSP devices once PlayStation Store and purchase functionality for these devices close. Your PSN wallet funds will remain in your PSN account, but you will only be able to use your wallet funds to purchase PS4 and PS5 products on PlayStation Store on the web, PlayStation App or on PS4 and PS5 consoles.
