The PS4 exclusive game Entwined, which Sony published in 2014, has abruptly exited the UK PlayStation Store, the US PlayStation Store, and the European PlayStation Store.
The game's profile still appears in the UK store, but with the tag: "Not available for purchase".
Strangely, the title is still available on the Japanese PlayStation Store and PS Plus Extra.
Concrete Genie, a 2019 release by the same Sony-owned studio Pixelopus and the only other published game from the studio, remains available on the PlayStation store.

Pixelopus was shut down by Sony in 2023.
Sony has made no comment on the removal of Entwined, first reported by Comic Book.
The report pointed out that there is no overt licensing or multiplayer servers that would force Entwined out of PS Stores.
It is unclear whether it is a rare error.

If the delisting is not an error, then it is likely Entwined will soon vanish from the Japanese PlayStation Store and PS Plus Extra soon.
Entwined was initially a PS4 exclusive title, before Sony released it to PS3 and PS Vita as well.
The title was not hugely popular, but still garnered over 20,000 ratings in the PlayStation store and an average of 4 out of 5 stars.
The Comic Book report noted that while the overwhelming majority of PlayStation fans may never notice that it is gone, it is not a good precedent to establish.

Those who already own the game will still be able to play as usual.
But it looks as though the title is being phased out.
