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. 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. This doesn’t explain why the game remains available globally on Xbox 360 or in other territories on PlayStation 3. However, these versions are expected to be delisted in time.
