STONKS-9800 Is Off PS5 as 13 Ternox Games Face Store Removal

The practical deadline is August 23, 2026: players interested in Ternox Games’ existing PlayStation catalog should check each PS4 or PS5 Store listing before then. The scheduled action is a removal from sale, not a confirmed expiration of licenses already attached to player accounts — so buyers should not assume what happens to redownload access after the delisting.

Ternox, led by Ruslan Salikov, says Sony unilaterally terminated its PlayStation developer and publisher agreement without explaining why. The studio also says PlayStation Support did not respond to its emails. Sony has not publicly detailed a reason for the termination in the information available, leaving any policy or compliance explanation unknown.

The immediate casualty is STONKS-9800, the 1980s Japan stock-market simulator with retro pixel-art styling. Its planned PS5 version is canceled rather than delayed. The game has been available on Steam since 2023, where it has a 97% positive user rating and more than 100,000 sales. Ternox says it will continue toward Nintendo Switch and Xbox versions, and is exploring physical editions for PC and Switch.

The 13 games scheduled to leave

The affected catalog spans smaller arcade, puzzle, and action releases: Nexoria: Dungeon Rogue Heroes, Finger Fitness, Retro Highway, Unichrome: A 1-Bit Unicorn Adventure, O-VOID: Console Edition, Run & Jump Guy, Scrap Divers, Fox’s Zen House, Boned Again: Survivors, Dungeonloop, IN-VERT, Taimumari: Complete Edition, and Bullet Beat.

Anyone considering a purchase should verify the live Store page, keep transaction records, and review Sony’s refund terms before buying. Delisting removes the purchase option; it does not itself establish a refund right, nor do the available details confirm whether past buyers can download these games after August 23.

What existing owners should do before August 23

A delisting normally removes a game from sale without deleting it from a buyer’s library, but nothing public confirms that Ternox owners keep download access after the removal date.

• Check your PlayStation Game Library and confirm every Ternox purchase is tied to the correct PSN account.
• Download any affected game you expect to play while the listings are still live.
• Keep purchase receipts or transaction-history records for each title.
• Do not assume a PS4 purchase becomes a PS5 entitlement; the STONKS-9800 PS5 version has been canceled, and no refund policy has been announced.

Watch for a Sony explanation or an explicit update on post-delisting library access; until then, treat August 23 as the final date to secure any of the 13 games through the PlayStation Store.
