Rockstar reportedly told Sony to remove GTA VI's branding from the PlayStation App after the disc controversy got too hot
Sony killed physical discs for all PlayStation games starting January 2028.
The backlash was instant.
Politicians calling for regulation. KFC and Domino's publicly roasting them. The internet turned on Sony overnight.
A week ago Sony had GTA VI everywhere.
App icon changed. PS5 dashboard taken over. Store completely redesigned. No PlayStation game has ever gotten that treatment.
Now all of it is quietly gone.
When Rockstar doesn't want to be associated with your decisions you know it's bad.
REMINDER: SONY WANTED TO SHUT DOWN THE PS3 STORE WHEN THE PS5 RELEASED. THEY REVERSED COURSE DUE TO PUSHBACK.
THEY TRIED TO FORCE PC PLAYERS TO LINK PSN ACCOUNTS FOR HELDIVERS 2. THEY REVERSED COURSE DUE TO PUSHBACK
