Daybreak Games sent out the following email to PlayStation 3 DC Universe Online Players including yours truly.
A message from the team at Daybreak Games:
To the players of DC Universe Online,
We are writing today to inform you that after many years of supporting DC Universe Online (DCUO) on PlayStation 3, we will officially shut down PlayStation 3 support on January 31st, 2018.
In order to deliver the highest quality experience to our players, we will focus our resources on further optimizing the game for PlayStation 4. While there is still time to continue exploring DCUO on the PS3, we want to give you advanced notice so you can prepare for these future changes.
All of your player information, subscriptions, DLC purchases, and game information transfer automatically to the PlayStation 4 when you log in with the same PSN account. If you have not yet upgraded to the PlayStation 4, please consider doing so now, so that you can continue to enjoy the best DCUO experience without interruption.
We will continue to provide information at DCUniverseOnline.com on any updates regarding this matter.
Sincerely,
The team at Daybreak Games
DC Universe Online has been on PlayStation 3 for quite some time and was a great game to play if you were an MMO novice. With PlayStation 4 and PS4 Pro being the centerpiece of most gaming households this announcement was sadly inevitable. Daybreak Games will be shifting focus to the PlayStation 4 version of the game so if you want your DCUO fix on the PS4 all you have to do is log in with the same PSN account from your PS3 and all of your player information, subscriptions, DLC purchases, and game information will transfer over automatically.
