### 1/5 — Corporate greed

*2026-08-25, version 26.8.0*

KEEP PHYSICAL MEDIA ALIVE.

PHYSICAL MEDIA IS IMPORTANT.

### 1/5 — No physical no buy

*2026-08-24, version 26.8.0*

This greedy company is toast. The only reason I still bought playstation games was because of physical discs and collectibles. Not even digital only Epic store with free games could topple Steam. Who does Sony think they are?

### 1/5 — Do better

*2026-08-24, version 26.8.0*

Greed has consumed you.

### 1/5 — If i could give it 0 stars i would.

*2026-08-24, version 26.8.0*

THE worst app on the entire app store. This app alone is making me consider buying an Xbox. honestly, if you have a choice, avoid PS at all costs until they fix this app. Why am i not allowed to log into my OWN account with my OWN password? why must i HAVE to use a passkey, and when that doesn’t work, im locked out of my own account? Sony are THE worst app creators, and software producers on this planet, shame on all of you. I havent used an Xbox since the 360 and i can still say that is absolutely clear of this BS. Horrible devilish app.

### 1/5 — Adiós playstation

*2026-08-24, version 26.8.0*

Te odio Sony cambiarme a pc fue lo mejor que he hecho

### 1/5 — No more physical copies after 2028

*2026-08-24, version 26.8.0*

Lost one loyal customer after greedy company changes

### 1/5 — Thieves

*2026-08-23, version 26.8.0*

Do not trust them with your money

### 1/5 — Value dropped

*2026-08-23, version 26.8.0*

Discs are going away, so is the value in the app.
