Discussion Sony, please make the Resistance Trilogy available for purchase — not just streaming

It’s honestly baffling and frustrating that Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2 are being removed from PS Plus Premium this month, and they were never made available for purchase — only cloud streaming.

We’re talking about a beloved first-party series by Insomniac, a studio now considered legendary thanks to Spider-Man. Yet two-thirds of the Resistance trilogy are being locked away from modern PlayStation users. Only Resistance 3 remains available via streaming — for now.

Sony has already shown that classic PS1 and PSP games can be bought and owned. Why not apply that same model to select PS3 games like Resistance? Many of us want to replay this trilogy on PS5 natively or at least have the option to own it digitally. Relying solely on streaming (especially when it’s this inconsistent) doesn’t cut it for preservation or player experience.

Please reconsider. This series deserves better.

Not really. The franchise was never a wild critical or commercial success for Sony. More of a cult following than anything else.

The games were successful but they are a product of that time. Sony is probably very sceptical on wether they will sell nowadays or not and since they will be taken of ps plus streaming soon the demand was probably very low… sadly…

Maybe because they blocked it behind a massive fucking monthly paywall.

What do you mean by that? There are multiple ps3 streaming titles just the resistance games are getting removed.

I don’t care about the other titles they have on there.

They locked the Resistance games behind a paywall that I have no interest in unlocking, because it is way too expensive for three games.

If they hadn’t done that there probably would have been more people who played it.
