Free-to-Play Future for SingStar Teased as PS3 Viewer is Discontinued
Reveal expected later this week.
Heads up, karaoke fans! Looks like classic PlayStation franchise SingStar could well be going free-to-play. Hints were dropped on the official SingStar Viewer PS3 application, with a message informing users of its imminent closure.
The standalone app, which works independently from the currently disc-based karaoke series, allows players to browse their SingStar media libraries, search for the libraries of other users, download new tracks and share media online.
Now, upon loading the app a message appears that says, "Support for the SingStar Viewer has been discontinued. The complete SingStar experience will be available as a free download very soon. Keep on Singing!" An announcement was later teased on the game's official Twitter account.
If it comes to pass, a free-to-play future could be the natural evolution for the SingStar franchise. At the moment, players have to be in possession of one of the many SingStar discs available at retail in order to access the karaoke experience.
