Delisting
Several Magic: The Gathering titles (Duels of the Planeswalkers, 2012, 2013) were delisted on PlayStation 3 in North America around May of 2020 according to PSNProfiles forum discussions. The same titles, as well as Magic 2014 and 2015, were then delisted on Steam in November of 2020. The Magic games remained available on Xbox platforms until September of 2021. No confirmation or explanation has been given by Wizards of the Coast or Stainless Games.
It is possible that the PlayStation delistings were based on low sales or player activity, compatibility issues, or region-specific licensing. Given the delistings on Steam, and WotC’s move away from the platform, it is also possible that the company has decided to focus solely on their own dedicated release, Magic: The Gathering Online.
