The playable teaser (P.T.) for a Silent Hill based game by Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro will be removed from PSN this Wednesday 04/29. If you want to play it but don't have a PS4 yet, use the link below to "purchase" it from PSN for free. You'll be able to still download it once it's removed.


P.T. for PS4 on the PSN Store

I hope you didn't like the demo to much, because the game isn't happening. You can thank the Konami/Hideo Kojima breakup for that.

That's a shame. The demo was frustratingly amusing.

Well, bad news if you "purchased" the demo on PSN but was not able to download it. It's been completely scrubbed from Sony's servers, meaning the people who have it installed have the only copies left in existence.

There are rumors that PT's removal has broken the PSN. Apparently the network can't confirm certificates on digital content because of that one being missing. Haven't seen anyone ******** since I got home, so maybe it's fixed, but that's all I saw on Twitter for an hour or two this morning.

If you previously downloaded Konami ex-pat Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro's project P.T. but accidentally removed it from your console, you're in luck: As discovered by a member of the Gamexeon forum, there's a way to get P.T. back onto your PlayStation 4.

The video above shows the method of re-downloading the playable teaser for canceled game Silent Hills. It involves downloading the PC program Squid to access your game library through a proxy server, wherein you'll find your old copy of P.T. This will only work for those who downloaded the game when it was originally available on the PlayStation Store, it must be noted.

It goes without saying, but we'll stress this anyway: This process is not a guaranteed safe, sure bet, although commenters on the Gamexeon thread shared their success with the method. There have yet to be contradicting posters suggesting that the process has bricked their consoles or gotten them banned from PlayStation Network. However, in the interest of safety, it's important to be aware that you're assuming these risks by attempting to download P.T. in this way.

Konami, which originally published P.T. and the rest of Kojima Productions' titles, pulled the free Silent Hills demo from the PlayStation Store in March. Not only was the game wiped from the shop, but anyone who had removed it from their consoles was unable to re-download the game.

The removal of P.T. was just one of many bumps in the road leading to Hideo Kojima's eventual departure from Konami. The Metal Gear Solid creator finally confirmed that he had split from his long-time publisher yesterday, following months of speculation. Kojima Productions will now run as an independent studio, and its first game is currently in development with support from Sony.
