"Stop Playing Old Games!": Sony Urges PS4 Owners to Switch to PS5 Soon
PlayStation is sending messages to PS4 owners, encouraging them to upgrade to a PS5 so they don't miss out on major 2026 releases. The text mentions hits like Ghost of Yotei and anticipated projects, including Nioh 3. To make the switch, they are prompted to scan a QR code with special offers.
This move coincides with Sony's plans to gradually phase out some online features for the PS4 in 2026, signaling the beginning of the platform's "sunset." Despite the PS5 having been on the market for over five years, many gamers are still using the previous generation console.
