Yes, many PlayStation 3 (PS3) servers are still online in 2025, allowing for online multiplayer for various games, though community-driven efforts are often involved in keeping older titles active. While official support for certain games has ended, community members are actively working to bring back servers and host game nights for a wide range of games, from classic Call of Duty titles to others like Bioshock 2 and Dragon’s Crown. How to Access and Play PS3 Online in 2025

1. 1. Check for Active Servers: For popular older games, such as some of the Call of Duty titles, online functionality is still possible, according to this YouTube video.
2. 2. Community Efforts: Many community groups are working to revive servers or run their own private servers for games where official support is gone, such as the Last of Us.
3. 3. DNS Swaps: Players can sometimes use a simple DNS swap in their PS3 network settings to connect to community-run servers, which doesn’t require jailbreaking the console.
4. 4. Join Communities: Engage with online PS3 communities on platforms like Reddit to find out which games are active and how to join game nights, notes one Reddit thread.

Important Considerations

• Server Age & Activity: While servers may be technically active, finding matches in less popular games can be challenging.
• Third-Party Support: The availability and functionality of servers depend on ongoing community efforts.
• Official vs. Community: Some games have had their official servers shut down permanently, but communities may have created alternative ways to play online.

Yes, you can still buy games on the PS3 store in 2025, but you must add funds to your PSN wallet using a PC, PS4/PS5, the mobile app, or a gift card, as direct credit card payments are no longer supported on the PS3. The store’s functionality is poor, slow, and not user-friendly. How to Buy Games

1. Add funds to your PSN wallet: Use a PlayStation 4 or 5, the PlayStation mobile app, or a PlayStation Network gift card to add money to your account’s wallet.
2. Access the PS3 Store: Navigate to the PlayStation Store on your PS3 console.
3. Purchase games: Select and buy games using the funds you added to your wallet.

Known Issues

• No direct credit card payments: You cannot add or use a credit card directly on the PS3 store for purchases.
• Poor user experience: The store is slow to load, navigation is tedious, and filters may not work well.
• No sales: Don’t expect to find ongoing sales on the PS3 store.
