The writing was on the wall: those LittleBigPlanet 3 trophies haven't been working for a while and the original PlayStation Studios developer Media Molecule has long since moved on from the series. Still, with LittleBigPlanet 3's delisting officially announced, you'll want to move quick if you plan on keeping this game and its DLC on your PS5 or PS4.

LittleBigPlanet 3 will be delisted from the PS Store in October 2024

Announced via the official LittleBigPlanet X account, Sony will be delisting LittleBigPlanet 3 from the PS Store on Thursday, October 31, 2024. On the same day, the entire back catalog of LittleBigPlanet DLC — including any packs still available on PS3 and PS Vita — will be removed from sale for good.

Players who already purchased LittleBigPlanet 3 or any of its DLC will still be able to access that content whenever they like after the delisting. However, if you don't own any of this content, you won't be able to access it again after it goes off sale.

We should note that LittleBigPlanet 3 has an unobtainable PS4 platinum trophy and its online servers are officially offline, so even if you do own a copy, you'll not be getting the full experience. Still, if you're a big fan and don't mind enjoying this content locally, you'll want to move quick to scoop up any costumes you want.

While that's sad news for the ten-year-old platformer, it's even sadder news for the insane backlog of costume DLC that remains available for this series. While some licensed content (like the Disney costumes) have been removed over the years, most of the library of LittleBigPlanet DLC has stayed largely available and ever-growing since 2008.
Finally, after 16 years, all of that is coming to an end. So, if there's any DLC you've been eyeing up and have yet to claim, make sure to do so before it disappears. It won't be long before the chance to dress your Sackboy up as Uncharted's Nathan Drake, Dark Souls' Solaire, and Doctor Who's Doctor is gone for good.

Really, we should have suspected something like this once LittleBigPlanet 3 was announced as one of the games leaving PS Plus. Still, it's a sad day for fans of the creative platformer series. Will you be picking up any LBP DLC before it goes? Let us know down in the comments below.
