However, the <strong>new restriction adds an automatic 30\u2011day timer<\/strong> to digital purchases. If your console cannot connect to the internet within that period, your digital licenses will temporarily expire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike traditional DRM checks done during download or first launch, this new system <strong>requires ongoing online confirmation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-30-day-online-verification-explained\">The 30\u2011Day Online Verification Explained<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-the-timer-does\"><strong>What the Timer Does<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sony\u2019s support assistant confirmed that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Any digital game bought <strong>after March 2026<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Will require <strong>online verification every 30 days<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Otherwise, the license becomes invalid until you reconnect<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means PS4 and PS5 users must ensure their console accesses the internet at least once every month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-will-primary-console-settings-bypass-the-restriction\">Will Primary Console Settings Bypass the Restriction?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. According to Sony\u2019s support communication, setting your console as the <strong>Primary PS4\/PS5<\/strong> does <em>not<\/em> bypass the 30\u2011day requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The update applies universally to all digital purchases made after the stated date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Related article:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/item4gamer.com\/blog\/change-location-mlbb\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Change Location in Mobile Legends?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-do-older-digital-purchases-lose-offline-access\">Do Older Digital Purchases Lose Offline Access?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Sony states that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Digital games purchased <strong>before March 2026<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are <strong>not affected<\/strong> and remain fully playable offline<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This distinction is crucial for players with large existing digital libraries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1074\" height=\"1275\" src=\"https:\/\/item4gamer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/PlayStation-DRM.jpg\" alt=\"PlayStation internet check\" class=\"wp-image-151598\" srcset=\"https:\/\/item4gamer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/PlayStation-DRM.jpg 1074w, https:\/\/item4gamer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/PlayStation-DRM-253x300.jpg 253w, https:\/\/item4gamer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/PlayStation-DRM-863x1024.jpg 863w, https:\/\/item4gamer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/PlayStation-DRM-126x150.jpg 126w, https:\/\/item4gamer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/PlayStation-DRM-768x912.jpg 768w, https:\/\/item4gamer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/PlayStation-DRM-350x416.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1074px) 100vw, 1074px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,rgb(255,242,207) 0%,rgb(255,255,255) 100%)\">Power up your gaming instantly with a <a href=\"https:\/\/item4gamer.com\/product\/playstation-network-gift-cards\/\">PlayStation Gift Card<\/a> from <strong>Item4Gamer<\/strong>, delivered fast, securely, and at the best price.

Later, Sony\u2019s automated support system stated the feature is intentional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, it was revealed that the response came from an <strong>AI-powered assistant<\/strong>, not an official human representative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because of this, the gaming community is still awaiting clear, final confirmation from Sony executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-impact-of-the-new-drm-system-on-players\">Impact of the New DRM System on Players<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-reduced-offline-freedom\"><strong>1.
