Sony Delists 1,194 ThiGames Titles from PlayStation Store

Sony has removed more than 1,000 games from its PlayStation Store, targeting the entire catalog of publisher ThiGames, which specialized in low-effort titles designed for quick trophy achievements. The delistings, affecting 1,194 games for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, were first noticed on Wednesday by user RobThanatos on X, formerly Twitter, and confirmed across all regions.

ThiGames, based in Germany and operating as ThiGamesDE on the platform, ranked as the fourth-largest publisher by volume of releases before the purge, trailing only eastasiasoft, Ratalaika Games, and Webnetic. Its library included series such as "The Jumping," featuring reskinned variants like The Jumping Fries, The Jumping Taco, The Jumping Pizza, and The Jumping Burger, where players control food items and repeatedly press a button to jump and unlock trophies. Other titles, like those in the Quiz Thiz series, followed similar minimalistic patterns, often completable in under two minutes for a platinum trophy. These games could be released multiple times across PS4, PS5, and different regions, allowing players to stack multiple trophy sets from essentially identical content.
