Old games can still be purchased
Earlier this year Sony announced that it will be closing the PS3, PS Vita and PSP PlayStation Stores forever. Well now it looks like Sony has had a change of heart.
As aforementioned, Sony wanted to close the online stores for the PS3, PS Vita and PSP later this year. This meant you could no longer purchase digital only video games for those respective consoles. Your previously purchased games could still function though.
Despite this, many people were sad to see the online stores closing forever. This is because both the PS4 and PS5 PlayStation Stores don’t allow you to buy PSOne games or other classic titles.
PlayStation 3 and PS Vita Stores to Remain Open After Sony Reverses Course
/
Weeks after announcing that the PlayStation Stores on the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, and PlayStation Portable consoles would shut down, Sony is now walking back that policy on two out of three of those devices. PS3 and PS Vita owners no longer have to worry, as the Stores on those consoles will remain open for the foreseeable future.
The company originally announced that they would close the stores on all three consoles. In a blog post on the PlayStation site, CEO Jim Ryan explained the original rationale behind the stores’ closure: “When we initially came to the decision to end purchasing support for PS3 and PS Vita, it was born out of a number of factors, including commerce support challenges for older devices and the ability for us to focus more of our resources on newer devices where a majority of our gamers are playing on.”

Tuesday, the 27th of April, with cross-buy available for the PS4 versions of the games (also available on PS5 via backwards compatibility).
