The popular PlayStation 4 game, “LittleBigPlanet 3,” has officially gone offline for good due to irreparable repairs that have completely destroyed the server. This news has devastated hundreds of thousands of players who have spent years creating levels, costumes, and other content within the game.
The game initially announced in January that it was temporarily removing server functions due to malicious content found in some MODs. However, it has now been confirmed that the servers will be closed indefinitely, meaning that players will no longer have access to their creations. This marks the end of an era for the “LittleBigPlanet 3” community, which has been active since the game’s release in 2014.
Community manager Steven Isbell took to Twitter to express his sadness over the situation, but some players have criticized PlayStation for using repairs as an excuse to shut down the server and save costs. This move has raised concerns among gamers about the future of online functions in older games.
Despite the disappointment, players can still access and use any levels, costumes, and other content that they have downloaded on their PS4. The offline function of the game remains functional for those who wish to continue playing.
As the news of the permanent shutdown of “LittleBigPlanet 3” spreads, many in the gaming community are left mourning the loss of a beloved game and the creative community it fostered. It remains to be seen how PlayStation will address the concerns and feedback from players moving forward.
