It never seemed to rekindle that magic on PS4, on which it launched as a free app supported by paid downloads for songs.įans spent the night belting out numbers for the last time, and took to social media to reminisce about the series. SingStar, from Sony's London studio, was one of the most popular first-party party games on PS2 and PS3. Also of note, the forced XMB icon for EU PS3 users is finally gone. You can still play SingStar games in offline mode, playing songs on physical discs and those previously bought and downloaded to a harddrive, but the rest of the functionality has been snuffed out, and some trophies will be impossible to unlock. If you didn't back them up and you lost all your songs all you need to do is. Sony had announced its plan to shut down its SingStar servers on 31st January 2020, and last night - not to be outdone by that other big exit - SingStar left the stage.Īll online functionality, network features and digital music downloads are now disabled. Backing them up will allow you to copy them between machines but you will still need to put them on the same account. The SingStar servers have gone dark, putting an end to one of the classic PlayStation games.
