PSP "Gigs" Feature Gone: PlayStation Network Services Permanently Shut Down

The PSP's online services—including the "Gigs" feature for Rock Band and Guitar Hero downloadable content—were permanently shut down years ago. You cannot recover, access, or restore them.

What Still Works on PSP in 2024

• Local Music Playback: Transfer MP3/ATRAC files via USB to the MUSIC folder on your Memory Stick Duo/Pro Duo.
• Offline Games: Full single-player libraries and ad-hoc local multiplayer (via Wi-Fi switch) work perfectly.
• Previously Downloaded Content: If you purchased DLC before the shutdown and it's still on your Memory Stick, it remains playable.
• Custom Firmware (CFW) – 6.61 PRO / LME: Enables homebrew, emulators (RetroArch, GPSP, etc.), ISO loading (for games you own), and plugins. psp.hacks.guide has the definitive install guide.

For new music/rhythm content, modern platforms (PS4/PS5, Switch, PC, mobile) are the only supported options. The PSP's online era is over.
