Frustrating PlayStation Issue Likely to Upset Hardcore Fans

It seems like there’s been a major problem going on for the users of PlayStation Vita and PS3. According to a new discovery, players are not able to run older titles from the past.

And this problem has been revealed by various PlayStation users so far. Apparently, few of the digital titles are failing to boot on the previous generation of PS consoles including the PS3.

Old games not playable on PlayStation Vita and PS3

According to VGC, there have been several reports coming about the PlayStation users not being able to run some of the classic games. And the situation is related to the PS Vita and PS3.

For example, the PS1 original version of Chrono Cross now shows an expiration date from decades ago. As a result of this, it no longer boots after being downloaded. Interestingly, this exact issue was also seen in the new Chrono Cross remaster on the latest generation of PlayStation devices.

It’s not the only game, however, that is annoying the users. A similar situation of the decades-old expiration date is preventing gameplay of other classics as well, like Final Fantasy VI, Run Factory: Oceans and Unit 13. Moreover, one fan even claimed that the complete PlayStation Vita library of the old games is now inaccessible.

Sony is yet to respond officially on this issue, as of this writing.

However, this situation has, for sure, highlighted one fact, maintaining the catalog for decades-old titles is not easy. This might be the reason why PlayStation games from the past are becoming difficult to run with every new year.

In another news, fans of the PlayStation are currently waiting for the next big line-up of releases in 2022. Some of the most awaited projects coming this year include the likes of God of War: Ragnarok. The latter arrives at some point in coming months, with Santa Monica as the developer. The studio also worked on the first installment in the iconic series.

Meanwhile, players will also witness the debut of PS Plus subscription service in June. The refreshed version of the existing PS Now and PS Plus will offer new ways of enjoying exciting titles on monthly basis.
