Get the old PlayStation Store back, for now [UPDATE: It’s Gone]

[UPDATE 03/29/21] On the evening of March 27th, 2021, the “old” PlayStation Store website ceased to function for the majority of users worldwide. Sony appears to have finally closed the loophole that many of us were using to access pre-PlayStation 4 content from the web. It is still possible to search and buy content from each console and handheld. Our original post is archived below.


[UPDATED 12/21/20] Surprise! The Australian and European PlayStation Store websites came back online around December 17th. I’ve seen no official explanation as to why they were down or any indication that the “old” Store pages will remain online. Take advantage as long as you can and check out our posts for all the links and for steps to download your purchase history. Thanks to everyone who pointed out this news.

[UPDATED 11/22/20] The old Australian and European PlayStation Store websites were taken offline by November 17th, 2020. The information in this post is no longer applicable to those regions. The alternative is to load up your PlayStation 3 or Vita in these territories to view the PlayStation Store or watch our video archives. The original post follows, updated as applicable.


Although Sony was swift in rolling out the new PlayStation Store design on the web, the update to the mobile app has been hitting the globe much slower. Until the transition is complete and Sony’s web team is confident that it’s stable we still have a way to use the more robust, old version of the PlayStation Store! Thanks to everyone who pointed it out and especially to u/cenorexia on reddit and MaxieM0us3 on the PSNProfiles forums.

Below are the links to the major territories we cover but check out this post for every other international version of the PlayStation Store! Just click your desired country and open it in an Incognito/Private window.

North America (NA)
Canada (CA)
United Kingdom (EU,UK,GB) 
Australia (AU)
Japan (JP)
Hong Kong (HK)

Cenorexia also provides a quick guide to accessing your Download List on the old store. The Download List was one of the first changes Sony made, forcing the official site to only display PlayStation 4 content. Try the links below for your territory and make sure you’re logged into your account. You may need to clear your browser’s cache and cookies for it to work. If it’s still not showing up Cenorexia suggests “buying” any free content through the links above (a free Avatar, theme, or demo) and then checking the link again. You should then be able to see your full PS4/PS3/PSP/Vita purchase history and queue things up to download.

Take advantage while you can because I really don’t expect these links to work beyond the end of the year.
