Sony has announced that their long-running PlayStation Home service will be shutting down March 2015.
PlayStation Home launched on PS3 is 2008 with the intention of being a service for you to hop on, meet up with friends, and then hop into a game. The finished product was a far cry from what Sony promised. Long load times, a lack of customization options, and a strong feeling of disconnect between the rest of PS3’s features were a few of the problems many had with PlayStation Home. Sony has made great strides to make the experience better, but with Home skipping the PS Vita and PS4 we all knew it was a matter of time before Sony pulled the plug.
Sony will cease publishing new content on the platform on November 12, 2014, though you’ll still be able to download content until December 3, 2014. The plug will be pulled on March 31, 2015.
