LittleBigPlanet 3 and all its paid downloadable content is being delisted later this year, publisher PlayStation Studios has announced.
“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 - this is your last chance to do so!”
LittleBigPlanet 3 then served as the only way for players to access 16 years worth of fanmade content from Media Molecule’s beloved platforming series. That was a sadly short respite, however, sinceSony unceremoniously pulled the plug on LittleBigPlanet 3 serversearlier this year without giving Sackboy stans a chance to wave goodbye to the stages they’d knitted themselves.
Physical LittleBigPlanet 3 copies should still work after its Halloween digital death day - it’ll just exist without the servers made to share and see other’s sometimes-wonderful creations, or the various DLC from developer Media Molecule. LittleBigPlanet 3’s digital removal is also another reminder of why discs are crucial for game preservation, especially with thePS5 Proand its add-on disc drive inbound.
Otherupcoming PS5 gamescould never replace Sackboy’s empty grin, but maybe they’ll help fill the void.
