Sony's New DRM Confuses PlayStation Users
- Sony has implemented a new 30-day digital license for PS4 and PS5 games
- Players fear this DRM could restrict access for offline users
- Fan investigations suggest a shift to permanent licenses after 14 days
PlayStation fans are buzzing about Sony's recent introduction of a 30-day digital license for new PS4 and PS5 purchases, raising concerns over a potential new form of DRM. This change could restrict access for players who operate offline or have a depleted internal battery.
Despite increasing inquiries, Sony has yet to make an official statement, leaving many users confused. Customer support responses have varied, deepening the mystery surrounding the update.
Analysis by the gaming community, particularly notable sources, indicates that this 30-day license may only serve as a temporary measure. After 14 days, players who connect their consoles online will transition to a permanent license, assuming verification is successful. If not verified, access to the game will expire at the end of the 30-day period.
