Sony has announced plans to pull LittleBigPlanet 3<\/a> from the PlayStation Store for good after years of insurmountable server issues caused by hackers.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

The PS4 version of LittleBigPlanet leaves the PlayStation Store permanently on October 31, with all its DLC going with it, Sony said.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that if you already own LittleBigPlanet 3 or buy it before October 31, you can continue to play after this point. Similarly, if you have downloaded LittleBigPlanet 3 via PlayStation Plus, you will still be able to play it after October 31.<\/p>\n

“After 10 years of playing, creating, and sharing content in LittleBigPlanet 3, the game and our entire range of LittleBigPlanet DLC will be removed from the PlayStation Store on October 31st 2024,” read a statement published to X\/Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“This is a friendly heads-up that if anyone in the community or any newcomers still wish to own a digital copy of LittleBigPlanet 3 or any LittleBigPlanet DLC currently available for purchase \u2014 this is your last chance to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

It\u2019s the latest development for Sony\u2019s ill-fated platformer, which is set to leave the PlayStation Plus subscription next week<\/a> despite being a first-party PlayStation Studios game. The Sumo Digital-developed LittleBigPlanet 3 launched on PS3 and PS4 in November 2014, and, as a PlayStation Studios title, is wholly owned by Sony Interactive Entertainment.<\/p>\n

LittleBigPlanet 3\u2019s exit from PS Plus has sparked speculation Sony may be planning to release a remaster or remake for PS5 and PC. Sony pulled Guerrilla\u2019s Horizon: Zero Dawn from PS Plus back in May, and last month announced Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered for PS5 and PC<\/a>. Perhaps LittleBigPlanet 3 will follow suit.<\/p>\n

Sony shut down LittleBigPlanet 3\u2019s servers permanently in April this year<\/u><\/a> due to technical issues and after long-running Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks, resulting in the loss of millions of online community levels.<\/p>\n
