Sony’s Missing First-Party Games Have Returned to PS Store in the US
Several PlayStation first-party games briefly disappeared from the North American PlayStation Store in early October 2026, only to be restored shortly after. The delisting affected a collection of notable titles including God of War 3 Remastered, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, and Knack 2. The reason for the temporary removal was not disclosed by Sony, leaving players and the gaming community to speculate about the cause of the incident.
The affected games represent a diverse mix of PlayStation’s first-party library, spanning action, adventure, and platforming genres. While the outage was relatively brief, it raised questions about game preservation and the risks of digital storefronts where publisher-owned content can be delisted without clear explanation.
The swift resolution means players in North America can once again purchase these titles through the PS Store. Sony has not released an official statement explaining what led to the delisting or providing assurance that similar incidents won’t occur in the future. The situation highlights the ongoing discussion about digital game ownership and the importance of maintaining availability of popular first-party titles in official storefronts.
