Sony is reportedly giving the boot to select PS3 game updates in wake of its decision to shutter the PS3, PSP and PS Vita game stores this summer.
This essentially means that you will be unable to update the game after the patches have been removed from the servers, so if you’re still playing a bunch of PS3 games, then you had better make sure you have updated them.
Given that some titles require updates for online gaming or Trophies, it’s obviously quite a big deal if you’re still into your PS3 games.
