Starting on October 27, players will no longer be able to use PayPal, credit or debit cards when making purchases, or to top up their PlayStation Store wallets on both consoles.
Following this, players that wish to purchase games from those stores must go to a computer, PS4 or PS5 to top up their wallets before returning to the PS3 or PS Vita.
Players will be able to purchase DLC from in-game stores, but in order to do so, they’ll also have to top up their wallets via the PC, PS4 or PS5 as well.
Codes for PSN credit will still work on both stores, as will any codes for content, if they have not yet expired.
In a post on the company website, Sony explained that “you will still be able to purchase content (including DLC) via in-game stores, but you will need to use wallet funds to pay for the content on [the] PlayStation Store. You will not be able to use a credit or debit card or other payment method such as PayPal to complete the purchase.”
