- For years, people have tried to predict when the PS3 Online service will shutdown. Although it is still going strong well into 2024, there still signs that it might happen sooner than we think..
In today's video, i will be giving you a timeline of events, where the PS3 stands now, what it will look like when it is offline and how you can help the community while it is still online.

I don’t want PS3 Online to shutdown.
Same here man 😕
if they do we riot
Yes
It's criminal in a sane world
@@matthasl4164 especially if ps4/ps5 online play are still blocked by a godforsaken paywall 😭
Only real gamers bought a PS3.
That’s why it’s got one of the most loyal and dedicated fan communities. Long live the King
😂
the nintendo wii in the corner:
It was a problem since the 600 price tag
Just brought mines a few minutes ago don't care if it's offline at all as long as I can play my games
I have a question: I want to buy cod bo2, if I buy it in ps store I pay 50 bucks for the Gold edition and on Amazon 70 for Standard, which one should I get?
Honestly I think there in ps3 there are the best games released on play station, at the time they were not influenced by battle passes, microtransactions, but they focused on making players have fun, for example the new cods are one worse than the other, those on ps3 are masterpieces
Absolutely.
Publishers seemed to have more of a motivation to put out a quality product first, where today it seems that comes second.
The PS3 has become very collectable with game prices going up in price but if / when the servers go down the game prices will literally go through the roof Grab the games you want before it's too late .
The PS3 is the most amazing console ever made coupled with the absolutely Brilliant library of games the PS3 is going to be huge for game collectors ..
The modding community is a bliss
💯
@@MAWK3just like gta V, there will be some people to create servers for any game. btw, now instead of gta V ONLINE it will be GTA V OG.
Well it depends who you ask bc there are toxic and non toxic modders
@@secborkgaming5688
They removed SOLO sesson now is pubilc or invite
best part the only thing they added to their players
if they used GTA+ garage they may get their car back or is still usable but only if you put cars there than it would be Paid service
I hate GTA+ itself is barly adds anything just a payment that unlocked more payments with bit more
I feel rip off if you say everyone can gain 2x in missons or 4x
and you got events for that week that barly add anything to paid users over free users
I think this is why we should focus on server emulation and PS3 emulation. Servers won't last forever, and eventually, all PS3s will kick the bucket from hardware issues. I'm pretty hopeful about the future, given the strides made with RPCS3 and all of the server emulation projects out there.
people still own working Magnavox Odyssey which is a 51 year old console.
@@skaduma1602 He talkin abt online....
@@skaduma1602 The PS3 has a lot of hardware issues. A lot of PS3's are already dead.
Jus bought a PS3 too..
Fuck it, I just wanna play some classics like Bully, Burnout, Grid, Ridge Racer 7, Sonic Transformed
The replay value on those games
@@ThisIsForTheRecordthe light weight super slims am I right?
its crazy im seeing ps3 videos popping up everywhere in youtube now.. seems like its growing more and more
When I started this channel, I never expected to see this much interest in the console 😅
@@MAWK3 me neither lol i didn’t realize the ps3 community would still be this strong.. theres ps3 only channels with like millions of subs its crazy lol
Nostalgia is big rn
Got a ps3 and a 360 use them all the time along with next gen. Love my old consoles
I do the exact same thing. It's just like the slogan for GameStop. "Power To The Players"
The legend will never die!!!
Lmao
PS3 online must go on eternally!
Yes, my gamer sibling!
YES
For someone like me that hunts trophies getting a game's server shut down it's already a bad thing, something like losing enterly access to PSN will be a massive nightmare. Not only because i will no longer play online games, or buy on the store, but even sync trophies to the psn servers will not be possible, online or offline trophies. Nothing. That will be something cruel.
Sony wouldn't give a fuck as long as you're buying their current products
I can see ps3 online shutdown in 2026 giving it have been out almost for 20 years
realizing the ps3 has been out for almost 20 years makes me feel old
In my opinion we still have at least 3 years considering ps3 still have almost 2 million monthy active users. That is still a huge number for such an old service.
Thanks for the clarification and the video is legendary
Great video… PS3 definitely my favorite console as well.
Happy Gaming Everyone 😎.
if sony does ever fully shut down the PS3 servers, i hope they're smart enough to still allow trophy syncing. i still have a bunch of PS3 games lined up in my platinum wishlist
They probably won't, since this is what they use to stream PS3 games on PS4 and PS5 and they allow you to get trophies from those games.
Why Sony can't just make a ps3 pro and game companies resell their games on it since Sony can't make new systems backward compatible.
Imagine if they did a Nintendo NES Classic re-release of the PS3.
Sony wants you buying the new consoles and new games. The older stuff is over and done.
@@usul573 They can still make money of it
I think even if they wanted, it would be a chore to create it. The PS3 hardware is very unique and complicated. A very good emulator would be the best alternative I think.
Great stuff as always MAWK. Hoping on some Socom right now!
Thank you! Confrontation still staps
Sony please dont disable ps3 servers i play ps3 online😢
My advice: Don't take no for an answer and keep on playing PS3 online services till your whole hands hurt.
It wouldn't make sense for them to shutdown the PS3 online service (not game servers), especially if you want to sync the trophies earned on the system.
Hackers and pirates will save ps3
I'm waiting for the day that Sony justs uploads an open source server solution for the community so that they wouldn't have to deal with it anymore without making anyone mad (for the PS3)
Edit: Statistics show that the PS3 has about 2.3 million users still consistently active according to a recently released graph of the MAU (Monthly Active Users) that shows the account activity of all online playstation consoles
Given today's climate with recent amount of leaks, would not be surprised if that leaked out one day.
Can't wait for your vids, you make retro ps3 exciting
Thank you bro 🙏
Not to mention how in the hell are we gonna be able to update the games that require online updates prior to playing if all we wanna do is just to play single player?This is the one that scares me the most since I've bought the PS3 very late in 2015
I hope to god they never shut down the servers I just got back on my ps3 playing killzone and socom Warhawk again.
Killzone still works online?
Yes 1,2 are online @@JohnnyFish971
@@JohnnyFish971ps rewired i believe host it. Been meaning to play.
I played all eras of PlayStation but ps3 days were my favorite . I hope the servers never shut down unless they make backward compatible for all games on current gen with new servers . Anyway, I loved this video and u earned a new subscriber .
In a world of digital nothing last forever
We want Resistance 2 back online!!!
resistance was so sick
That era was amazing I remember playing R2 around 1-3am lobby’s were always full
one huge problem i have with this is that to this day, is many PS2 and 3 titles are simply not available to play outside of emulators, and even the ones who did get ported to PS4 often lack a lot of the features the original game had (most notable Uncharted 3's COOP).
One of my favourite games of all time is Black Ops 2, and while i could just buy a Xbox or a PC to keep playing, i would have to start all over again or use mods to unlock everything, which is not exacly the nicest thing to do in a online game...
There are so many games I have yet to purchase & play on PS3. One of the most annoying things about PSN on PS3 is that certain games cannot be purchased from PSN online stores outside of US. Especially with the PS1 library. Games like Dino Crisis 1 & 2, Megaman Legends 1 & 2, Parasite Eve 1, Klonoa and other PS1 classics can only be digitally purchased and downloaded only from US. Places like EU & UK for example don't have those games which makes purchasing certain games a complete chore to go through. I know Sony focuses more on modern gaming, but they should also care about their older audiences as well that have been supporting them for years ever since the PS1 first launched. Shutting down the PS3 stores won't make things any better, since their modern online services are just really bad.
Great upload 👌👌
Sony and Playstation should abide by this video MAWK great stuff! LLPS3❤
Hopefully not they should keep them running all the way up until the end of the next decade and that’s just in the bare minimum
I can see Sony get rid of store, friend list, message and it's p2p match making. But they have to at least keep some functionalities like download your purchased games and syncing trophies.
This console saved me from attempting suicide
Then make the console proud of you being a PS3 gamer
@@biomassregional6vlogstv sure but there's a problem I wanted to clean my ps3 but it's screw covering is tightly glued and i don't have how to remove it
That's deep
@@juniordelong2885 indeed
5:29 your homie totaking12 is online
PS store was about to be offline but changed the mind but still good 👍 we can still play
I think Spotify still works i did try
Loved the little planet song it takes me back memories man 2009 this when I got my first PS3 I was trying to get it early but at that time I ain’t got a job and I didn’t have a lot of money and I hope Sony keeps the servers for a little while
Brings me back to everytime I hear it!!
@@MAWK3 oh yeah i miss all that Call of Duty world of war and Black Ops GTA 4 and of course Little Big Planet
This felt like a video with a missleading title where you mention things we already know like how Sony wanted to shut down the store etc.. Shutting the store is a completely different thing than to shut down online service for the entire platform. PSP still have games with official servers. The backlash for shutting the entire service would be too huge, people still need to be able to get their trophies from Vita and PS3 games, make no sense in not making that an option.
Still playing 3 today and I have a 2 4s and 2 5s❤
We want backward compatibility for ps3 games after that no problem if they shutdown the servers like Xbox
I wish ps3 store was better with its website back and not the app that made it like ps4. Too sluggish
I wish that the Community never stops to try and keep games online. I play at least once a year Phantasy star Online 1/2 on Gamecube on Custom Servers and playing those old games on original Hardware is really something else then playing it on an emulator or PC Client.
Here you got a subscriber.
Thank you so much! 🙏
Is there a way to download map packs on a usb stick? Cuz i have to delete my map packs for mw2 to find matches online since no one has the map packs apparently. Also for my cod people is it worth buying map packs for cod waw
World at war yes you actually get better match making when you do… most people don’t play mw2 og most people are on mw3 and or bo1 or bo2 , people do still play ghost aswell… you can sometimes play mw1 og however it’s infested with either hackers so most people play the remastered version…
But mw2 og there are discords and communities I save you ever wanna match make those communities go online just to play… since mw2 servers & match making on the ps3 suck…
I was able to with Webman and a flash drive I mount for internal storage. It seemed to work for Black Ops
I haven't really thought of this before but the PS3 will turn 18 years old this year. The PS3 is now 4 years older than i was when the console came out. Kinda depressing the more i think about it
COD shutting down on PS3 is kind of moot given that new players cannot join regardless post WAW. These games do not properly handle users created after the name change update, and users who have changed their IDs, so they cannot even connect.
I sadly changed my name, so no more MW3 for me; can't play it on 360 either because for the last week, the servers have been broken again, most people can't sign in.
The day that the servers go offline will be sad. But as they did with major ps2 tittles, custom server restorations will save us
I hope Sony at least still lets us play our digital games after psn goes down. Otherwise, what's that point of paying for any now? I'd still want to be able to play them.
I agree. It also posses an issue with preservation as there bound to be games or content lost once it happens.
@@MAWK3
If they willing to cut people Rights to movies or songs they paid for without much of a warning or their money back
they may do that to old classics unless their playstation Not so portable gets the support PS5 can`t handle like playing old games on the go.
because is would damage their shares if they honored old gamers vs Pay to play games.
I'm having lots of issues with PSN on the PS3 now, it wont stay signed in or sync my trophies, keeps saying its taking to long to connect to the server and I get error msg .
Try using a wired connection and see if it still drops!
@@MAWK3 ok I'll try that, I think it's something to do with the DNS so I might have to change that. Thanks for the help 👍🏻
@@thelastofus2872 Try 0.0.0.0 or 8.8.8.8 for secondary DNS to. The 8 worked best for me.
This just absolutely makes me want to cry. And if we can't buy anything anymore on the store and the PSN shut down, Im already so sorry and so sad for a moment.
I just love the PS3 😢
For the future if Playstation 3 network will shut down is better to know to got more player as possible
Super street fighter iv on ps3 still has an stable and highly popular community on the online servers still populated ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
what will happen to bug fixes and dlc?
I can't sign in on my psn account it's says you have been sign out from your psn...
Nooooooooo, I have a ps4 and ps3 but I have friends that only have ps3 and we sometimes play togheter. I don't want this to happen😢
wouldnt doubt sony would do this to make people pay for ps plus on ps5
Let's hope that we have ps3 backwards compatibility by the time the servers shut down, maybe that's why the servers are still up, they're keeping them up until we can play ps3 games on ps5 or ps6
I just hope sony bring all ps3 games to ps5 before they shut it down
Is there any fifa or pes being revived by any chance?
If ps3 gets shut down sony needs to backwards compadable the phyical copy and downloading games not this BS cloud that doesnt give any support to the games .their is over 2k games on ps3 and I have over few hundred that I want to play
What is the game at 0.35 the guy in the cardboard box? Looks interesting.
When you said lost forever 8:17 does that mean you cant play it
They closed the ps2 servers, but the modding community made a new version of it
When the time comes, I think that offline trophies will still be obtainable, they will probably keep updating the console to avoid modding which is their main concern apparently.
Cant we just use a DNS server for online playing, instead of modding?
Guys I gotcha if I want ps3 games for free now go for no pay station or romspure
PS3 was my life in high school after softball and basketball
Probably will get shut down in the next 5 years easily. Kinda sad but given Sony still don't have backwards compatibility on PS5 with PS3 games it's a given.
Please play ps3 more
Always.
I have a PS3,,but I have no games for it.
I swear im about to go buy a 1TB external hard drive just in case they take away my download list on there.
This is a kick in the balls😭😭😭😭
Damn I still gotta buy Ken's rage on ps3 and its still a $50 game .
Edit * and I waited too long with
Gta vice city stories as rockstar games removed that one .
I hope they don’t shut it down
Same here dude!
say it aint so cuh
bro I wanted to know if the PS3 can always connect to the internet but without the PSN account to maybe update the games to their latest versions
You don't need PSN to update games, just a network connection. Only on PS4/5 do you need a PSN.
World at war works
PS3 is the king! PS4 was overhyped and the PS5 since I had since release is a dust collector. I bought a new PS3 after I got the Ps5 on launch since it had no games but I wanted it day 1 cause greed
I continue ps3 as a live service.
I can`t because is funny to use CFW PS3 than trying to update it
I choose to mod my own because if you paid for something you need to have control what can it plays
one of my classic game died because of is DISC keep dying when loading the game
because I has more fav in PS3 is old but is has more feeling like games there
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PS4 - looks like a book that failed to do = I would risk a ban on PS3 because is more better than now
Less payments more control over saves offline and is maybe slow but at least I don`t have to Listen to sony to update my PS3 to send my games over usb than their PS4.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- No forced plan
-- Saves to USB ( offline willing to follow without asking for more )
-- CFW is better than OFW
-- More offline games than online games
-- Slow but better games
-- Rockstar got GTA trilogy but forgot most classics
Can we sync our trophies after ps3 servers shut down?
If you can still sign into PSN, then yes
Netflix on PS3 my friend use,or many people use CZcams 😊
PS3 Network 2031 ends😢
Oficial end btf4 on-line suport😮
Ps3 online should be eternal like WOW
When do you think they’ll shut the store completely?
Maybe 1 year from now for the store? Hard to say to be honest.
@@MAWK3
because is Striking half their users to buy cheaper games
because who hates classics
Inaccessible for some people *laughs in ethical jail braking
is better using full control than letting someone hold your system hands accessing the network
@@Stormlywing Somehow the system abandons the old, its all for the fans to take it back up.
Since i was a kid I always wanted a ps3. When I got my first job i bought one 2017 when players are anticipating the ps5 lolz
So if they shutdown the store and servers I can't play the games i bought and downloaded bloody hell
You can still play your games but if you delete it then you might not be able to redownload it
@@dimensionalbird3290 oh ok thanks for the info
@@dimensionalbird3290maybe you should upgrade
Please dont
Do u think they'll keep the ps4 servers up for awhile?
ps4 will last just as long as ps5 u gotta pay for ps plus, ps3 is free
PS4 sold better than the PS3 and is far newer and more technologically similar to the PS5. It will be around for a long time.
I just bought a PS3.
They’ve been trying to get these servers down for years, too many people still online
it cant shutdown because its an integral part of playstation network across the ps4 and ps5
PS3 is always the best 💪 better then PS5 and PS4 and I still play destiny online on PS3
Me and a couple buddies just got some ps3s 😂😂
has warhawk ps3 been revived?
