Some of Sony’s First-Party Games Are Suddenly Missing from PS Store in the US
Several Sony first-party games have mysteriously disappeared from the PlayStation Store in North America, raising questions about availability and game preservation.
The affected titles include God of War III Remastered, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, and Knack 2. These games are no longer available for purchase in the US PlayStation Store, though the reason for their removal remains unknown.
The delisting affects a mix of genres and console generations, with God of War III Remastered being a PS3-era remaster on PS4, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection serving as a compilation of the original trilogy, and Knack 2 being a PS4-exclusive platformer. All three games represent notable entries in Sony’s first-party gaming portfolio.
The removal has sparked concern in the gaming community about why major first-party titles would be delisted without official announcement or explanation from PlayStation. Such removals can happen for various reasons—licensing agreements, contractual terms, digital storefront management, or other business decisions—but Sony has not publicly addressed this particular case.
This incident highlights ongoing concerns about digital game preservation and the sustainability of digital storefronts. When games are delisted from storefronts, they can become increasingly difficult for players to access legally, particularly for those who may want to purchase or replay them.
