It seems the crisis of old generation console titles is not over. A report states that several PlayStation 3 game updates are not available for download anymore.
According to a post on popular gaming forum ResetEra and PSNProfiles, there are several PS3 updates that are not available for download anymore. It is said that the list of affected games is currently unknown and nobody knows if it affects digital or physical versions and its regions.
PSNProfiles users state that it is mostly affecting the European accounts while the US ones can download fine. They believe it is affecting regionally. There are a few of them claiming that they could not download the updates even though they are using US accounts, but those are only a few. Maybe it depends on their locations as well.
