A batch of PS4 and PS5 games really are losing online features or store availability in late March and early April, but this is not PlayStation Network shutting down. It is a title-by-title cleanup, not a platform-wide blackout.

TL;DR

The warning is real, but the broad headline is too dramatic. Several games are losing services or getting delisted, yet the checked sources do not show PlayStation online as a whole going dark.

Key Details

• Push Square listed several major PS5 and PS4 titles facing shutdowns or delistings in late March and early April

• THE FINALS official patch notes said the PS4 version would be retired when Season 10 began on March 18, 2026

• 2K Support says WWE 2K24 online features and services are scheduled to remain available until March 31, 2026

• Push Square also listed Jurassic Park Classic Games Collection being delisted on April 1 and Tower of Fantasy on PS4 being delisted on April 7

• HoYoverse said PS4 update support for Genshin Impact ends starting April 8, 2026 at 06:00 UTC+8

• None of the checked sources show Sony shutting down PlayStation online services overall

Breakdown

This kind of image spreads because it takes several real bad-news items and squeezes them into one giant headline. The trouble is that the headline makes it sound like PlayStation online itself is being discontinued, which is not what the sources say.

What is actually happening is more specific. Certain games are losing online support, while others are being delisted or retired on older hardware. That is still a real problem for players of those titles, especially on PS4, but it is very different from Sony pulling the plug on PSN as a whole.

So the core warning is usable, just with better framing. If you play one of the affected games, this matters right now. If you read the image as “PlayStation online is ending,” it overshoots the facts by a mile.

What to Watch Next

• Whether more PS4-era titles announce retirement or delisting plans

• If other publishers follow with late-generation service cutoffs

• Whether affected players get migration options or final offline support
