Sony Ditching Free PlayStation 3 and PS Vita Games in March 2019

[Shawn Zipay]

In about a year from now, Sony will no longer offer free PlayStation 3 and PS Vita titles as part of their PlayStation Plus subscription. This news came about as part of their blog update for this month's PlayStation Plus games reveal.

Starting next year on March 8, 2019, the PS Plus monthly games lineup will focus on PS4 titles and no longer include PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita titles. This won’t affect any games you’ve already downloaded, or will download, prior to March 8, 2019. Those games will still be part of your PS Plus games library as long as you remain a member. Your game saves and other benefits of PS Plus will also remain the same – the only change is that no new PS3 and PS Vita games will be added to the PS Plus monthly games lineup beyond March 8, 2019.

They continue to say that many fans are now playing on the PlayStation 4 platform and will prioritize the benefits received through PlayStation Plus. They do note, however, that if you wish to cancel your auto-renewal subscription because of this change, you are welcome to do so.
