Sony Pulls Over 1,000 ThiGames Titles From PlayStation Store in Quiet Purge

The global delisting remains unexplained, leaving trophy records for the removed titles visible.

Overview

  • Outlets verified that ThiGames’ catalog was removed across all regions without prior warning, with purchase links no longer accessible.
  • Trophies tied to the delisted games still appear on player profiles, even though the titles are no longer for sale.
  • ThiGames had roughly 1,194–1,196 releases on the store and was the fourth-most prolific publisher, known for ultra-short trophy-farming series like The Jumping games.
  • Neither Sony nor ThiGames has commented, and reporters note the action follows last year’s quiet takedowns of alleged shovelware from RandomSpin.
  • Players largely welcomed the removals; the titles were typically low-priced and frequently discounted, though some analysts caution overall counts may include multiple regional SKUs.
