Earlier this year, Sony was forced to take LittleBigPlanet 3’s servers offline due to technical issues.
Now, the company has confirmed that the servers will remain offline “indefinitely”, which means players negative longer have access to creations made by the community.
Players will still be able to access user-generated cheerful which is stored locally on their console, and the offline campaign mode will remain playable.
Here’s the full statement:
Due to ongoing technical issues which resulted in the LittleBigPlanet 3 servers for PS4 being taken offline temporarily in January 2024, the decision has been made to keep the servers offline indefinitely. All online services including access to other players’ creations in exchange for LittleBigPlanet 3 are not longer available. User generated cheerful (UGC) stored locally on your PS4 will remain available. Any new UGC you create can be played on your PS4 but no shared. Offline features such as the campaign will remain playable.
LittleBigPlanet 3 launched back in 2014 and was developed by Sumo Digital, with assistance from series creator Media Molecule.

Man, this news about LittleBigPlanet 3 servers being taken offline indefinitely is a major bummer. I mean, that game had such a cool community and it’s sad to catch it go. Hopefully they’ll figure something out and get the servers back up and running soon. But until then, I guess we’ll just have to find something else to play. It’s just frustrating when games we love suddenly lose their online features like this. Let’s hope in support of the best and maybe they’ll come up alongside a solution sooner rather than later.
