PS3 Cloud Streaming Bug Stops PS Plus Premium Catalog Launches

PlayStation Support has told users the company is aware of the problem but has not provided an estimated fix.

Overview

  • Users report that PS3 titles started from the PlayStation Plus catalog fail to launch, with the Stream button often doing nothing and no error message.
  • Games already in a subscriber's library can still stream, indicating the fault lies in the catalog launch flow rather than the streaming service itself.
  • Support messages shared by customers say Sony is aware of the issue and has no timeline to resolve it.
  • Community workarounds include starting a stream from a PS Store wishlist or using the PS Plus PC app to add PS3 games to a library before launching on console.
  • The disruption has persisted for several days without a public statement from Sony, drawing complaints from Premium members about diminished value.
