Japanese Publisher Entergram Removes 106 Games From PlayStation Store

Japanese publisher Entergram plans to remove 106 PS4 and PS Vita games from the Japanese PlayStation Store on September 30, 2025, affecting users who access the store via Japanese accounts worldwide. While none of the games are PS5 titles, they remain playable on PS5 and PS5 Pro due to backward compatibility, broadening the impact. Entergram will continue user support and physical sales for these titles, which lack online features, and will offer discounts before delisting. Notably, 34 of these games are expected to return to the PlayStation Store under different publishers after October 1, 2025. The removal's rationale remains unclear, with no explanation from Entergram or Sony, highlighting concerns about digital game preservation. A similar mass delisting is occurring on the Japanese Nintendo eShop, where nearly 70 Entergram Nintendo Switch games will be removed on the same date, underscoring the challenges of an all-digital gaming future.
