Sony has removed the entire catalogs of three publishers from the PlayStation Store. GoGame Console Publisher, VRCForge Studios, and Welding Byte—formerly known as RandomSpin Games—saw their games delisted as of April 2nd. This continues the platform holder's efforts to address low-effort content flooding the digital storefront.

Affected titles include Urban Driver Simulator from GoGame, and from VRCForge Studios offerings such as Water Blast Shooter - Wet Gun, Racing Car Chaos: Extreme Stunt Showdown, Supermarket CEO Simulator, and notably Jesus Simulator. Welding Byte's portfolio was similarly cleared, though specific examples were not highlighted in initial reports. The removals were first spotted by users on PSNProfiles forums, leading to widespread documentation across gaming sites.

This purge follows a larger action in January where over 1,000 games from developer ThiGames were wiped without warning, and more recent delistings from Nostra Games and CGI LAB two weeks prior. Community reactions on Reddit subreddits like r/PS5 show general approval, with threads garnering significant upvotes for the cleanup efforts.

While these steps suggest an ongoing commitment to store hygiene, the absence of official metrics or total shovelware estimates leaves the overall improvement trajectory somewhat opaque. The battle against questionable content persists at a deliberate pace.
