Sony Pulls God of War III, Uncharted and Knack 2 From US PlayStation Store
Published:
In brief
Sony removed God of War III: Remastered, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and Knack 2 from the PlayStation Store in the US and Mexico starting around October 14, 2026. The titles stayed listed in other regions, and players who had already bought the games could still redownload them; Sony had not issued an official statement on the cause.
Three first-party PlayStation titles disappeared from the PlayStation Store's US listings in mid-October 2026: God of War III: Remastered, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and Knack 2. The games stopped turning up in search and on their usual store pages, according to reports from Kotaku, GamingBible and PlayStationLifeStyle.
The removals were not limited to the United States. PlayStationLifeStyle and GamingBible reported that the issue also affected the Mexican PlayStation Store, while the titles remained available for purchase in the United Kingdom. Reporters described the issue as confined to storefronts in the Americas.
What triggered the delisting
No formal explanation came from Sony at the time the reports were published. Kotaku and GamingBible both pointed to a likely pricing error: God of War III: Remastered had reportedly been listed on the Mexican PlayStation Store for roughly $0.50, far below its normal price. PlayStationLifeStyle's reporting added that the mix-up may be linked to recent currency changes Sony had been making to the store, which may have caused Sony to pull the affected listings while it corrected the prices.
Kotaku's reporting described the episode as resulting from a technical problem rather than a deliberate decision to stop selling the games. None of the three outlets found evidence that Sony intended a permanent delisting.
Who was affected, and who was not
The disappearance only affected new purchases. Kotaku and GamingBible both reported that players who had bought any of the three games before the removal retained access to their libraries and could still redownload the titles. The impact fell on potential new buyers trying to find or purchase the games during the outage.
| Game | Status in US/Mexico store | Status elsewhere |
|---|---|---|
| God of War III: Remastered | Removed from listings | Remained available, including UK |
| Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection | Removed from listings | Remained available, including UK |
| Knack 2 | Removed from listings | Remained available, including UK |
We've reached out to Sony for clarification on the matter and will update this story if we hear back.
What remains unknown
As of the most recent reporting on October 14, 2026, Sony had not issued a public statement confirming the cause of the removal or an expected timeline for the games' return to the US and Mexican stores. None of the outlets specified whether the issue affected PS4 or PS5 versions specifically, or both.
