History

• Launched alongside the PlayStation 3 in November 2006.
• Redesigned in 2008 and again in 2012 to improve navigation and integrate game-related content.
• In 2021, Sony announced the closure of storefronts for older consoles like PS3, PSP, and PS Vita but reversed the decision for PS3 and Vita due to public backlash.

Access and Payment

• Accessible via console interfaces or online through the Sony Entertainment Network website.
• Purchases are made using a virtual wallet funded by credit/debit cards or PlayStation Network Cards.
• Accounts are region-locked, meaning payment methods must align with the account's registered country.

Availability

The store is available in over 69 countries across Asia, Europe, the Americas, Oceania, and Africa. However, some countries use global currencies (USD/EUR) instead of local ones.

Recent Developments

• The PS Store has been integrated into the PS5 system for seamless browsing.
