Man, the web version of the PlayStation Store has had its ups and downs lately, hasn't it? After the big overhaul of the website, many criticised the redesign. It's improved since, but initially there were no plain text game titles, no images, and no wishlist — a feature that had been part of the old browser store for a long time.
Interestingly, it appeared the wishlist moved to PlayStation 5's PS Store. It makes sense to have the feature on the console, of course, but it seemed odd for it to be removed from the web-based shop. Fortunately, the lacklustre browser store is slowly being improved as time goes by, and on the quiet, it seems wishlists have made a comeback.
As you can see in the above image, the little heart icon has returned to product pages. If you're logged in, you'll be able to use it to add games you want to buy to your wishlist, as it was before the redesign.
It appears to have been reinstated in all regions, as far as we can see, so everyone can build their wishlists on the web. An overdue detail, but better late than never.

Let's make an early wish and hope they won't remove it again for 6 month when the ps6 comes out.
This is good news, but I was incredibly stupid of them to remove this feature. Then again, the software behind the PS5 is still unfinished, so they probably ran out of time.
Still not on the mobile app. At least not in the US.
Ok, but it’s most useful in the phone app. Hopefully that gets reinstated too.
Praise the sun!
Yup, it's available even on mobile website now, nice.
Oh my gosh, finally!

Should have just posted your avatar lol.
Does it sync with the console list? Hopefully?
I do like the web version store layout, but I find it so slow its easier to remote in to my PS5 and browse on there from my desktop.
Too late for me. I discovered psprices.com and I'm never going back.

Everyone: There's no such thing as a perfect reply.

Finally. Christ.
Website revision still sucks as a whole, but this change was the most baffling. There's no justification for it.
So, glad they're starting to fix what they broke.
@The_Anomaly PS Prices and Deku Deals (the Nintendo equivalent) are so good. Great tools.
If you can't wishlist games on console it's worthless. Also, can we get gifting please? When I want to gift a friend a game I Venmo them money and tell them exactly what to spend it on, that isn't ideal.
@frankmcma it does indeed sync 😊
Glad to have wish list back. Now to remember what I want again. Will never understand why they didn't have the wish list ready at website launch. And they removed it from PS4 but kept is on PS5?
Most of my handful on the old site were Vita and PSP items...😅 But it's a welcome fix in general.
Every time I click the little heart, it just says something went wrong. What’s up with that?
Not showing on all products for me
Personally, I have never used the wishlist. All I want is to have the sort features to return. Right now it is a painful mess to try and browse the page that looks like it was randomly thrown together with zero organization at all. I used to use the webpage for anything store related in the past, but since the change, I have only ever gone on the psn store for my PS+ monthly games. Wont be shopping it again while it is under its current layout.
Lovely. I find wishlists to be rather useful, so it's nice to have them return.
Now if only we could gift games, hope PS5 adds that feature.
