PlayStation announced the gradual closure of the PlayStation Store for PS3 and PS Vita. New purchases on these platforms will become unavailable after the store is shut down, but previously purchased content will still be available for download for a certain period of time.
The company explains the decision by stating that the store must meet modern commercial standards and updated payment processing requirements, and PS3 and PS Vita no longer support such changes at the necessary level.

When exactly will the store be shut down

In Mexico, Honduras, and Nicaragua, the PlayStation Store on PS3 will close starting August 2026. In other Latin American countries and the Middle East, this will happen at the end of 2026.
In all other countries, the PlayStation Store for PS3 and PS Vita will cease operations in July 2027.

What will happen to previously purchased games

After the store closes, it will no longer be possible to purchase new content on PS3 and PS Vita. At the same time, users will still be able to download previously purchased games and other content, at least for the foreseeable future after the shutdown.
