PlayStation's New DRM Forces Monthly Online Check-Ins for Digital Games - console
(hx) 11:00 PM CEST - Apr,27 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
Sony has introduced a controversial new DRM policy requiring PlayStation consoles to connect online at least once every 30 days for digital games purchased after the March 2026 update, or the license will expire and block gameplay. PlayStation support confirmed the requirement is intentional and cannot be bypassed by setting a console as primary. The policy does not apply to previously owned games. It has sparked widespread backlash, with many users drawing parallels to Microsoft's failed 2013 Xbox DRM plans and urging others to buy physical copies instead. Opinions remain divided between those who see it as harmless for always-online users and others concerned about offline access and digital ownership.
