Sony clarifies that PlayStation 5 DRM requires only a one-time online verification, not regular checks.

After a strong reaction from players regarding the alleged DRM system on PlayStation 5, Sony has finally clarified the situation. Claims that digital games would require online verification every 30 days sparked a wave of dissatisfaction and fear of losing access to purchased titles.

According to the official explanation, the new DRM system actually requires only a one-time online license check. After that, players can continue to play their digital games without additional restrictions and without the need for regular internet connection.

This confirmation comes after days of confusion and contradictory information, including claims about a 30-day “check-in” that could block games.

Although the situation is now clarified, the entire case has reopened the question of digital ownership and the communication of large companies towards players.
