Reasons behind the removal
According to the latest report, this issue started when Sony introduced local currency pricing in selected Latin American countries. This replaced US dollar transactions with local currencies.
During this rollout, the God of War 3 Remastered was listed on the Mexican PlayStation Store for just 9.99 Mexican Pesos, which is roughly $0.50 USD. This is far lower than the normal sale price, which makes it a pricing mistake on the digital store.
This was discovered by players and gamers & was quickly spread all over the internet and gaming forums.

In many regions, the game started to disappear from their PlayStation Store. Many players found the blank listing or the game completely unavailable for purchase.
For now, Sony has not revealed any official reason or details about the situation and the removal appears to be a temporary measure to fix the incorrect pricing. In many regions, including India, the game is currently available on the PlayStation Store.
