Tearaway's Companion Site Is Shutting Down, So Browse Its Adorable Content While You Can 1

Remember Tearaway? One of Media Molecule's best games, the papery platformer was released first on PS Vita in 2013 and followed by a PS4 rendition a couple of years later.

Well, you may not know this, but its companion website, Tearaway.me, is still active. Unfortunately, that won't be the case for much longer.

This flew under the radar, but Sony and Media Molecule announced the site will soon be shuttered. From 13th August 2026, it will no longer be accessible.

Unlike LittleBigPlanet, Tearaway is a straight-up 3D platformer with no in-game tools to make your own levels.

Instead, it features a brilliant aesthetic in which everything is made of paper and card, and it's so faithful to the material that Media Molecule ensured all models in the game could be made in real life. It's not a faked effect, it has a basis in reality.

Official papercraft that you can print out and physically make in real life was included in the game, too. This was Tearaway's "Play Create Share" element, allowing you to bring the game's world into yours and make something with your own hands.

As well as the destination for finding these papercraft designs, Tearaway.me is essentially a place where fans could upload photographs of their paper models, as well as in-game screenshots or other creations.

The papercraft print-outs are now hosted on Media Molecule's own website through the link, where you can download them as a PDF.

While the Tearaway.me site is probably not attracting much traffic these days, I would encourage you to check it out. There are hundreds of thousands of pictures uploaded, showing off the paper models people have made, cosplay, drawings, and other creations.

It'll probably make you nostalgic for the game, but beyond that it's just so adorable seeing people share what they've made on this forgotten website. It's like a time capsule for the mid-2010s.
