PlayStation now requires a ‘one-time online check’ to confirm you own a game

Sony says PlayStation games only need a one-time online license check, not recurring monthly verification.

The company clarified that a recent update does not force PS5 or PS4 owners to reconnect every 30 days.

The explanation reduces fears that players could lose access to purchased digital games without regular internet access.

The issue keeps attention on DRM and the limits of digital game ownership.
