More Than 100 Games Set to Be Removed from PlayStation Store

Sure thing, here’s a rewritten version:

So, here’s the scoop—Entergram, a Japanese game publisher, just decided they’re gonna yank more than a hundred games right off the Japanese PlayStation Store. Yep, more than a hundred. Who would’ve thought? The PlayStation Store’s been around forever, or at least since 2006, and it’s like a treasure chest of games. You can find anything from those mega-hyped AAA titles to quirky indie gems. But, as it turns out, what’s in the box can vary—like, a lot—based on where you live.

Seems like the Japanese PlayStation Store has been a hot spot for these region-exclusive games. Nah, you won’t find these everywhere, just in Japan. Developers there, they sometimes keep their stuff local, and to be honest, I kinda get that. Meanwhile, there’s been a fuss in Brazil and Turkey about game prices going up, but that’s another kettle of fish. Back to Japan, Entergram’s about to pull the plug on over a hundred games. By when? September 30.

Is this gonna shake the globe? Not really, since most folks outside Japan might not even notice. But still, it’s quite a haul of games that’ll be gone. Bam—just like that. This whole thing ties into a bigger chatter out there about game preservation. People have been yelling about it for years. It’s like when something’s yanked offline, it’s possibly gone for good. Kinda sad, honestly. There’s even been this “Stop Killing Games” thing that’s grabbing mad attention—a million signatures and counting. Guess folks mean business.

All this while, Sony’s storefront has been busy busy. Oh, did you hear? Forza Horizon 5—a car racing game, big deal on Xbox before—is now part of PlayStation’s gang and doing super well. Rumors are even flying that Halo might make a jump onto PS5. I know, right? But anyway, even though Entergram’s cuts don’t include big blockbuster names, the loss still stings for the store itself. It’s weird how digital stuff can disappear like this, makes you think, huh?
