Yesterday Sony sent an email to spit in your face once more, reminding everyone that you own nothing in the digital world by their ToS. Simultaneously, the number of trolls/bots shit-posting under #PSBlackout posts or criticism towards Sony has massively increased on many socials
Your turn, Europe, Africa, and UK!
Start the #PSBlackout! Don't buy, don't play, don't even log in, until Sony reverse their attempt to kill ownership and physical games. Give 'em a taste of the future, if they really want to abandon parts of their most loyal customer base.
🚨 COMIENZA EL APAGÓN MUNDIAL DE PLAYSTATION 🚨
🔥🎮 La comunidad acaba de iniciar el #PSBlackout: 7 días enteros sin encender la consola, sin iniciar sesión en PSN y sin gastar un solo euro en la tienda.
🗣️ ¿El motivo? La decisión de Sony de matar el formato físico para 2028 y decir que "no somos dueños de lo que compramos".
🤔 ¿Te unes a la huelga o crees que a Sony le da exactamente igual? 👇🧵
#Playstation #PS5
LIGHTS OUT!
Japan, Australia and the rest of Asia/Oceania have started their #PSBlackout already.
No purchase, no playing, no log in on PlayStation platforms. Keep it up until they stop killing physical media and address the lack of customer rights in the digital space!
Hoy comienza la iniciativa #PSBlackout.
Del 23 al 30 de agosto:
🎮NO JUEGUES.
🛜NO INICIES SESIÓN.
💰NO COMPRES EN PS STORE.
🚫CANCELA SUSCRIPCIONES.
"Un futuro solo digital sin propiedad ni leyes de protección al consumidor es inaceptable". (@DoesItPlay1)
#NoDiscNoBuy
Jeśli możecie, bo nie przeszkadza Wam tydzień gry offline, to dołączcie proszę do #PSBlackout lub chociaż podajcie dalej.
Tu nie chodzi o to, czy ten bojkot ma sens. Tu chodzi o to, żeby zsolidaryzować się z graczami, którzy uważają decyzje Sony za bezsensowną. 🤗
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.
Would you join the #PSBlackout? 🔥
The PSBlackout protest begins tomorrow, August 23.
The campaign is calling on PlayStation users to stay logged out of PS5 and other PlayStation services for several days as a way to protest Sony’s recent decisions.
Supporters are being asked to avoid logging in, making purchases, and using PlayStation services during the protest.
The protest is expected to run for several days
The #PSBlackout starts tomorrow!
We want physical games to stay! A digital-only future without ownership & customer protection law is unacceptable!
Log off, don't play, don't purchase, cancel subscriptions, become a ghost, until Sony realize their mistake!

Grand Theft Auto 6 appears to have suffered yet another significant leak after what looks like legitimate gameplay videos and an image of the full map appeared online. https://t.co/eXJ2uWDf1g
@Sniping_Soup Hands up, now hands down
Tell me what you're gonna do now
Hands up, now hands down
Tell me what you're gonna do now
Keep rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'
Keep rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'
Keep rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'
Keep rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'
@PlayStation How about you catch up on what your audience expects from you? Millions around the world buy physical media and don't take too kindly to being strong-armed into your digital-only dystopia. And the rest won't be happy without customer protection laws either.

Sony left the comments open during the latest Phantom Blade Zero State of Play, and PlayStation fans flooded it
The 20-minute presentation was filled with “NO DISC, NO BUY” comments and disc emojis. A lot of fans said they would buy Phantom Blade Zero if it gets a physical release, but would skip it if it is digital-only.
The comments continued after the presentation, people calling it “Phantom Disc Zero”“I’ll buy it when it comes out in physical format.”

@PlayStation If you insist on killing physical media and disrespecting your audience and partners, we sure as hell won't spend on digital games that can disappear in an instant. Nobody should pay full price for a rental. Borderline scam. Sale should be permanent.
#PhysicalGamesMatter
@PlayStation Meanwhile we rather fight for the survival of physical games. A digital-only future without customer protection law, without ownership, without game preservation, without respect for artists and customers is the real horror trip. #StopKillingGames#PhysicalGamesMatter
