The #PSBlackout movement has officially started. It's August 23. Turn your P55's off till September 1. Not buying anything digital. Only buy physical games! Goodluck everyone.
The #PSBlackout begins for me.
Unplugged my PS5 from power and network.
It's been nearly 2 months since I've been playing much less on my PS5. The blackout is the perfect moment to unplug it entirely.
I won't consider plugging it back for a week. Maybe a month, maybe longer.
#NoDiscNoBuy
PlayStation Blackout begins tomorrow and extends all the way to August 30th🚀
❌Turn off consoles
❌No Login
❌No purchases or gaming
Don’t give up, speak out, fight for physical media, player ownership and stand against monopoly, and the lies orchestrated by the industry to take away your rights for their greed
NO DISC 💿 NO BUY
LET’S NOT PLAY ON PLAYSTATION FOR ONE WEEK. 🎮
Starting tomorrow, August 23 through August 30, let’s support the #PSBlackout campaign.
So for one week:
❌ Don’t play on PlayStation
❌ Don’t buy games
❌ Don’t make in-game purchases
❌ Skip PS Store purchases
❌ Skip logins & purchases
❌ Cancel/avoid subscriptions if you can
📀 Support physical games & preservation
The goal isn’t to hurt developers. It’s to send Sony a clear message:
Gamers still want the choice to own their games.
If you support physical media, join the #PSBlackout from August 23–30.
Would you participate? 👇
Sony is moving new PlayStation releases toward digital-only or code-in-box formats after January 2028.
This isn’t just about discs. It’s about ownership, preservation and access.
If a digital store shuts down one day, what happens to the games you paid for?
Some gamers are even considering Switch 2 or PC as alternatives for long-term ownership.
No PlayStation. No Sony game purchases. No in-game spending. August 23–30.
