Key Takeaways

Little Big Planet 3 will be permanently removed from the PlayStation Store later this month, removing the ability for people other than those selling used physical copies to purchase the game. This follows the shutdown of Little Big Planet 3 servers on PlayStation 4 earlier this year after a long struggle against hackers and other issues related to the online aspect of the game.
The announcement was made through a statement released by Little Big Planet's official account. “After 10 years of playing, creating, and sharing content in Little Big Planet 3, this game and the entire Little Big Planet DLC will be removed from the PlayStation Store on October 31, 2024.”
Little Big Planet 3 will be removed from the list
“Anyone who currently owns or purchased Little Big Planet 3 or the Little Big Planet DLC before it is discontinued will continue to have access to the games and content they purchased after removal. Community or new users will still be able to purchase Little Big Planet 3 or the current We would like to own a digital copy of the Little Big Planet DLC and we appreciate your continued support and understanding.”
After taking servers offline in response to hackers, Sony cited “technical issues” as the reason the servers never came back online. This resulted in millions of user-created levels and content being lost forever. Even if this content is saved locally on your console, you can still access it.
Naturally, you won't be able to access Little Big Planet 3's online features now or ever. However, if you purchase the game now, you can access it offline from your digital library at any time.
