Sony has taken the PS4 game offline permanently after a technical outage earlier this year
Sony has indefinitely decommissioned the PlayStation 4 servers for puzzle platformer LittleBigPlanet 3, the company announced in an update to one of its support pages. The permanent shutdown comes just months after the servers were temporarily taken offline due to ongoing issues. Fans now fear potentially hundreds of thousands of player creations not saved locally will be lost for good.
“Due to ongoing technical issues which resulted in the LittleBigPlanet 3 servers for PlayStation 4 being taken offline temporarily in January 2024, the decision has been made to keep the servers offline indefinitely,” Sony wrote in the update, first spotted by Delisted Games. “All online services including access to other players’ creations for LittleBigPlanet 3 are no longer available.”
The 2014 sequel starring Sackboy and other crafted creatures was beloved for the creativity and flexibility it afforded players to create their own platforming levels. The game’s offline features will remain available, as will user-generated content stored locally. Players won’t be able to share them, though, or access any data that was stored on Sony’s servers, which likely made up the majority of user-generated content for the game.
