‘PT’ Has Been Completely Removed From PSN: Cannot Be Redownloaded
Bad news for everyone who deleted PT from the PS4 and figured they could always redownload it. According to Kotaku, the demo has been completely wiped from the PSN servers, meaning that even if you had it before you’ll never be able to get it again. This goes against the standard scenario on the PSN, where users could always, although not anymore, redownload a game they had purchased or put on their system.
This update comes after the announcement that Silent Hills, which PT turned out to be a teaser for, was cancelled.
Bottom line: If you have PT on your PS4, don’t ever delete it if you have the slightest thought that you’ll want to replay it.

Legendary Grimdark ‘Warhammer 40,000’ Artist John Blanche Has Passed Away at 78
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
