Earlier this week members of the PlayStation MVP program started reporting that they were receiving emails from Sony informing them that the company was shutting down the program soon. Sony has now officially confirmed it, the PlayStation MVP program is indeed being shut down, as of April 18th the company will no longer actively support the PlayStation MVP program.
“We’re incredibly thankful to our MVPs for their participation in the program and enthusiasm for making PlayStation the best place to play. We will continue to explore new ways to empower the vibrant PlayStation community,” said the Sony representative, confirming the shutdown.
The PlayStation MVP program wasn’t open to all. People had to apply if they wanted to be a part of it. As a member, they would have helped host exclusive game events and tournaments, create content like help articles and walk-throughs for gamers on PlayStation forums and share their opinion on PlayStation products through panels and discussion sessions with the PlayStation Community Management Team.
Members report that since January there hasn’t been much activity in the program which led many of the members to assume that something will be changing soon. It’s not so much as a change as it’s a complete shutdown of the program, and now it has been officially confirmed by Sony. Godspeed, PlayStation MVP program.
