Sony’s ongoing effort to purge low‑effort “shovelware” from the PlayStation Store has moved onto publisher Webnetic, which announced today that its titles will soon vanish from the platform. In a post on X, the studio thanked PlayStation players and warned that the “final days on PlayStation” are now underway, directing fans to its catalog on Xbox, Nintendo and Steam before the removals take effect.
The crackdown follows earlier sweeps that saw hundreds of ThiGames titles removed in January and a second wave in April that targeted GoGame Console Publisher, VRCForge Studios and Welding Byte. Webnetic’s library is unusually large – the store lists 128 distinct game names, many of them duplicated across PS4 and PS5 or regional variants, inflating the total to roughly 1,274 entries. TrueTrophies ranks the publisher fourth in overall game count on the digital storefront, highlighting how its prolific releases have contributed to the “shovelware” problem.
Webnetic’s farewell note stresses that the exit is not the end of the company, promising new projects such as an update for Panic House: Awakening on other platforms. The exact date of the PlayStation removals remains unclear, and IGN’s deep‑dive on the “Eslop” phenomenon is available for readers who want more background.
