Cloud streaming of PS3 titles offered through PS Plus Premium continues to suffer widespread problems, according to user reports compiled by Push Square. The issues, first reported more than a week ago, include games failing to launch, error messages and blank responses when attempting to boot classic PS3 software.

Posts on the Reddit community for PS Plus describe a range of failures. One user reported that attempting to launch Raiden IV: OverKill produced no response, writing that "absolutely nothing happens" when the title is selected. Other posts describe titles that return errors or refuse to load despite appearing in the Premium library.

Some subscribers on the forum have speculated that the ongoing faults may indicate a partial or quiet removal of the PS3 streaming catalogue, a theory driven by the persistence and sporadic nature of the outages. Push Square's coverage highlights the growing frustration among those who rely on the streaming option to access legacy PS3-only games.

Sony has not provided a public explanation for the disruption as of publication. The problems represent a material impact on the value of the PS Plus Premium tier for subscribers seeking access to PS3-era titles via cloud streaming.
