This provision establishes that SIE may amend the Terms and that continued use of Services constitutes acceptance of amendments, without requiring affirmative re-consent. The mechanism applies to all material changes to the agreement, including changes to dispute resolution, data practices, and content license terms.
Interpretive note: Whether continued-use acceptance constitutes sufficient informed consent for material amendments, particularly to arbitration or data provisions, may vary by jurisdiction and applicable regulatory guidance.
Under this clause, users who continue to use PlayStation Services after receiving notification of a Terms change are bound by the amended Terms, including any changes to arbitration, content licensing, or account suspension provisions. Users who do not accept amended Terms would be unable to access PlayStation Services.
