🚫 2011 Sony PlayStation attack lasted 23 days... 🚫

I have an OG Disc edition that was overheating bad and constantly turning itself off, so we just (30 days ago) upgraded to digital only PS5 Pro... barely own any physical media, but we've got an internal NVMe and external USB SSDs, both 2TB, mostly filled with PS4 & PS5 games.

I have no idea how many we can play offline, without access to PSN services. Despite the thousands that we've surely sunk into these machines, we barely own anything these days. Glad you've got a pretty sweet setup to keep you entertained, we're about to learn a difficult lesson.

Is there a way of knowing which digital games work without connection/their stupid licensing thing other than to boot it up and one by one check? Lol

I just upgraded to the ps5 pro due to my og disc edition overheating as well. First thing I did was download a bunch of games in case something like this happened.  Also wanna say I read on a ps forum that if the game doesn't ask you to sign in then like how madden does than your good to play when sony servers go down. Another note is even digital games we don't own we're basically renting them. I read my first e.u.l.a (end user license agreement) in 2023 and saw its mostly in the company's favor and to protect them from us the consumer.
