Sony has introduced a controversial DRM update for the PlayStation 5 that requires players to verify their game licenses every 30 days via the PlayStation Network. Failure to perform this online check-in could result in digital games being locked, sparking concern among gamers.
According to reports, the new policy applies to digital titles and aims to prevent unauthorized access, but critics argue it punishes legitimate users, especially those with unreliable internet connections or who play offline.
The announcement has drawn widespread criticism on social media, with many calling it an unnecessary restriction. Sony has not yet commented on whether it will revise the requirement.
