*Any new frequently asked questions, notable news item, or good sales on PS cards/codes will be posted up here if I'm around.* This thread is for discussions about everything involving games that are available on PlayStation Store of PSN. This isn’t going to be as in-depth and detailed as PS Store threads in the past, but hopefully this will be a good source of information for you. Use this thread for:
Updates and summaries of PS stores Instead of 1 or 2 updates a week, PS Store now has multiple updates a week. Major updates still occur on Tuesdays for the NA region and Wednesdays in EU region. PS Blogs in NA and EU regions put up weekly posts of new games and sales, but they usually miss games released outside of Tuesday/Wednesday. The webstore at https://store.playstation.com does a decent job showing off new releases and sales, and is the recommended place to view the store. Not much has changed with PS4 store. A new PS+ section was added to the PS4 system menu bar to easily access PS+ subscription information, notable PS+ discounts, and free games. Some of the front pages in PS4 store now have navigation buttons for specific sections in the store. PlayStation Now, the streaming rental game service, is still up and running. A subscription option was added in last year, but the subscription tier doesn't have access to all games in PS Now. As of this posting, only PS3 games are available to stream, and there are no signs of any other PS platform games (PS4/PS2/PSone) to be added in. There have been many app updates to the PS3 store app, but the drat thing still runs sluggish, no sorting options were ever added to the download list, and it still crashes to XMB without warning. Don’t use it unless you have to. An alternative way to access the PS3 download list without crashes can still be found under PSN on the XMB -> Account Management -> Transaction Management -> Download List. Vita store is still there. Nothing really changed on that, except for the PS Mobile store section being removed last summer. The download list through the Vita store app still displays PS3 items with no way to filter them out. PSP store is either closed or will be closed within the next year. If you need to buy or download games for PSP, do it from the webstore, then transfer them through the MediaGo companion program on PC. PSP games are also still available to purchase, download, and transfer from PS3. PS Mobile store closed down last year and all PS Mobile games are no longer available to purchase. However, PS Mobile activations can still be enabled for some on Vita by launching a PS Mobile game that was purchased before the shutdown. This won't work if you're transferring PS Mobile games from one Vita handheld to a new one. As of now January 2016, Vita handhelds can be activated for PS Mobile games in this way until the end of February. After that, activations for PS Mobile games will no longer be possible. Other things https://psprices.com is a good site to view and track sales on games, past and present, in most major regions. The site also offers email reminders whenever a game goes down in price. As of now, the site only tracks games and bundles, not add-ons and expansions, and not all regions are covered. A script to sort and parse the download list in the webstore is freely available. After logging into the webstore, you can either use the Chrome extension linked on the homepage, run a userscript or bookmarklet, or enter this script into the URL bar: code:
Wishlists were added to the webstore last year. As of now, wishlists are only curated lists with no way to buy stuff on other peoples’ wishlists, making them almost pointless. PS2 games for PS4 are slowly coming out. Unlike PS2 Classics for PS3, these PS2 games have trophies. Unfortunately, there are no plans to offer discounts on PS4 versions of PS2 games if you own the PS3 version. Also, there are no plans to offer PS2 disc playability on PS4. Free monthly game offers with PS+ are still around, with at least 2 games for PS4, 2 games for PS3, and 2 games for Vita. More might be available for a platform if a PS+ game on another platform has a cross-buy offer. Monthly games are rotated every first Tuesday of the month in both NA and EU regions. The quality of the PS+ free games have arguably gone down in the last year, but there still have been some gems released, depending on your tastes. For some unknown reason, PlayStation has recently promoted the free PS4 PS+ games only, and no longer promotes the free PS3 and Vita PS+ games, even though those games are still given out. Hopefully, this doesn't mean they are going to quietly cut down the amount of free games in the future.

PlayStation Plus free games and services FAQ: Are these free games really free? Kind of. They are free to download and play as long as you are subscribed to PS+. If the subscription expires, the games will be locked and unplayable. If you re-subscribe after an expired sub, the games will work again. Any other catches? Every time you start or renew a PS+ sub, automatic renewal for PS+ is turned on, even if you turned it off before. If you don't want that, you'll have to turn it off by finding PlayStation Plus in the Services List, then click on "Cancel Automatic Renewal" Where to find Services List:
What about games that I bought with a PS+ discount? Do those games stop working if my PS+ subscription expires as well? Anything purchased with a PS+ discount is yours to keep, even after a PS+ subscription expires. I got a PS+ trial code but it won't let me use it without a credit card number. Is there any way around this? No. However, you can delete the card info and turn off automatic renewal immediately after redeeming the trial. I have a PS+ trial and put in a credit card, but it still can't be redeemed. Trials are only usable on PSN accounts that don't have and never have had PS+ before. Trials used to be redeemable for everyone, but that ended due to abuse of PS+ free trial giveaways. Do the free games download automatically to my PS device or do I have to download them manually? You will have to download them manually. You can start automatic download to those devices by claiming them on the webstore and adding them to the download queue. New on the PS4 store: You can now select "Add to Library" on the PS4 PS+ game listing and not have to start a download to claim it. How do I know I got the free games linked to my account? Make sure you complete the transaction for the free game: Select the free game for download. A prompt will warn you about the game only being free with an active PS+ subscription. Confirm the warnings. After that, the game is yours for as long as you have PS+. You'll know you've done this right when the game appears on the top of your download list. For most games, it will also be in the store with a shopping bag icon or Download button. What if I delete the free game from the system storage? Do I have to pay for the game if I want to get it from the store again? Any game that you've obtained for free can be downloaded again for free as long as you have an active PS+ membership, even if the game is no longer on the system storage and/or the game is no longer available for free in the PS+ section of the store. If your PS+ subscription expired and you don't want to subscribe again, you will have to pay for those games. What if I get the free game, but I didn't download it? Do I lose access to it after it has been removed from the free section? As long as you have completed the transaction for the game, it will still be available as a free download for you. Just look for the game with the shopping bag icon, "Purchased" text, and/or Download button in the store and download it from there. You can also dig through your download list to download it again. If your PS+ subscription expired and you don't want to subscribe again, the free games will disappear from the download list. If you subscribe again after an expired sub, the free games will reappear on the top of the download list. What if I want to buy the free game while still subscribed to PS+, so I can keep it after my PS+ subscription expires? This is not possible. If I let my PS+ subscription expire, will the PS+ free games still work? No. Then if I resubscribe, will my free games work again? Will I get access to the free games from the previous subscription? Yes, if you stopped, then resubscribed to PS+, you'll get the previous PS+ free games you got in the past back in the download list. PS+ free games already installed on your system will start working again, as long as you connect online to renew the PS+ license with them. How do I find out when the free games will stop working?
I want to extend my PS+ active subscription. If I buy another subscription, will it erase my old subscription and replace it with the new time, or will it stack on the current subscription? It will stack. (ex.: You have 4 months left and you buy 1-year PS+. You'll now have 16 months of PS+) If I have PS+ for PS3, do I have to pay for another PS+ subscription for Vita and PS4 with the same PSN account? No. The PS+ subscription applies to all 3 PS platforms. There are no additional charges for accessing PS+ on another PS platform with the same PSN account. Do I have to own the PS platform to claim those free games? (ex.: Own a PS4 to claim PS4 games?) No. All games can be claimed through the webstore, even if you don't own a PS device for a particular game. Links to all monthly game: NA store EU store JP store Can I transfer the PS+ subscription to another PSN account? No, subscriptions cannot be transferred. Can I share PS+ accounts? Yes, an account with PS+ can be shared just like a normal account. The only part of PS+ that cannot be shared is the Automatic Update function. That can only be linked with one PS3, one Vita, and one PS4 system. Do I have to be signed in to PSN to play the free games? No. There is one exception: The only time you will need to sign in is if you let the PS+ subscription expire and then subscribe again before playing the game. The game will be updated with a new license and expiration date. Can other accounts on my PS4 or PS3 play the free games? Yes, as long as the PS4 or PS3 profile associated with the PSN account with the PS+ subscription is on the same system. Note: cloud storage cannot be shared across different profiles on the same PS4 or PS3 system. If I get PS+, does that mean I can get all the free stuff from other regions? No, the subscription is only tied to the region that the PSN account was registered in. If I get PS+ now, will I get all of the games that were free in the past? No. When do the free games leave the free section? When do the new free games show up? In both the NA and EU regions, they will be rotated in and out on the first Tuesday of every month. I saw a picture saying that there were over 64 games with PS+, but I only see 6. Was I lied to? No, you're not going to get 64+ games immediately when you first subscribe. That picture showed how many free games you could collect over a 1-year PS+ subscription. The rate of PS+ free games given out is around 6 unique games (2 PS4, 2 PS3, 2 for Vita) per month with no repeats. The longer you are subscribed, the more free games you will have. Don't count on any of these games coming back as repeats. If there are no repeats, is there an entire list of games that were already free with PS+? Yes, right here: NA region | EU region Do I really need PS+ for PS4 multiplayer? Yes, PS+ is required for online multiplayer for PS4. On the bright side, online multiplayer on PS3 and Vita will still remain free, PS4 free-to-play games don't require PS+, and one PS4 account with PS+ can give online multiplayer access to other accounts on the same PS4. Wait, I don't have to get PS+ for PS4 online multiplayer for everyone? How? On the PS4 profile with PS+, go to Settings -> PSN -> Activate as Your Primary PS4 -> Activate. As long as that account is registered on the PS4, all other profiles on PS4 can access online multiplayer. Yechezkel fucked around with this message at 06:29 on Jan 6, 2016 |

PSN FAQ This thread will primarily focus on two major regions: North America (NA): USA, Canada, and Mexico. Also includes most of Latin America. Europe (EU): Most of Europe. Also includes Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, and the Middle East. I will be focused more on the PlayStation Stores in United States and United Kingdom. If anything appears outside of those two stores that haven’t been mentioned, feel free to share it here. The PlayStation Store can be accessed from these devices through an internet connection for the purchase of the listed content:
The PlayStation Store now puts up updates multiple times a day. Major updates are done:
Buying items in the PlayStation Store requires a PSN account and funds in the account wallet. You can create an account on any PS device or through this page. Funding the account wallet is done by
Here are all of the types of content you can find in the PlayStation Store:
FAQs: Accounts and funding: I forgot my password. The password can be reset through this webpage. I don’t want to use a credit card on the PlayStation Store. How do I buy things from the PlayStation Store without a credit card?
During account registration, it’s asking for credit card information. I don’t want to enter a credit card. Can I skip this? Yes, it can be skipped. Will I get banned for using a fake address or an address that I don’t live at? No. I want to use a credit card, but the store won’t accept it. How do I get the store to accept my card?
I want to buy something from a PlayStation Store outside of my region. Is there any way to do this? Yes. Create an account of a region where you want to buy the item from, using a fake address. Then, add funds with PSN cards from the same region and buy the item with those funds. PSN cards are sold by region and only redeemable in the same region. (ex.: American PSN card can only be redeemed on American PSN) Find an online shop that sells PSN cards of a region that you want items from. I don’t have a recommendation on whom to go to for this. I want to buy something under $5 with my credit card, but the store wants to charge me $5. Why? $5 is the minimum amount that can be spent with a credit card in the store if there is not enough money in the PSN wallet to cover the purchase. It’s probably done to offset merchant fees applied to every credit card transaction. The rest of the money stays to the account wallet. How do I check how much I have in my account wallet? I don’t see it on the front page of the store.
I lost money in my account wallet without spending it!
Do any stores have sales on PSN or PS+ cards? Sales on cards have happened before, but they are very rare. Past sales had the cards discounted at 5% to 10% off. PlayStation Store and purchases: Many of these games and add-ons are expensive!
I can’t get a fast, stable connection with the PlayStation Store.
I bought and downloaded a game or add-on, but I don’t have anything saved on my PS device. Where did the download go?
There is no video store. If you are accessing a store outside of your region, you will not see the video/TV sub-sections. Those sections are region-locked by regional origin of IP addresses. You may see video/TV listings on the front page of the store, but selecting those will result in an error. Also, some regions may not have a video store at all. I bought something from the PlayStation Store in the past. Now, it’s no longer available in the store. Is there any way to download that item again? Most of the time, yes. Almost all content taken down in the store will still exist in your download list. Check the download list and keep scrolling down until you find what you were looking for. There is no way to sort the download list, so it may take a bit of time to find what you need. Is it possible to “gift” a purchase for someone else? No, it's not possible through the PlayStation Store or any PlayStation website. In the US, there is an alternative way to send digital items as gifts. gamestop.com, bestbuy.com, and amazon.com sell voucher codes for digital content in the PlayStation Store. The codes can be given out to others. As of now, none of the listed vendors has everything in the PlayStation Store, but gamestop.com has more digital items available for sale than the others. PSN items on gamestop.com PSN items on bestbuy.com PSN items on amazon.com I bought a physical copy of a game on release day and it came with a PSN code. Entering the code resulted in an error. Did I get a bad code?
When I try to log in to the PlayStation Store, it asks to update my system software. I don’t want to do this. Is there any other way I can access the PlayStation Store with outdated system software? No, and let’s not talk about ways around this. I have a Vita and I saw this PSP game on someone else’s Vita. When I go to the PlayStation Store through Vita, the PSP game cannot be found. How do I get this PSP game on my Vita? Access your account though a PS3. Find the PSP game in the PS3 PlayStation Store and download it to the PS3. After that, connect your Vita to the PS3 and start the Content Manager app on the Vita. Use Content Manager to transfer the game, found under "Applications Downloaded on the PS3 System" This may not always work. A few PSP games cannot be copied to a Vita no matter what. I want to buy a game on PlayStation Store, but it’s one of those games that use online passes. Do I need to buy an online pass along with the game? No. The online pass is included with the game. I bought a game with "cross-buy" which means I was suppose to get multiple versions of it. I don't see the other versions in my download list. Did I get the other versions or not?
I bought a physical version of a game for cheap, but it was from another region. (NA player buying EU game or vice versa) I downloaded an add-on for the game, but it won’t show up in the game. Why won’t the add-on work? Almost all games are region-free and can be played on any PS device. However, add-ons from the PlayStation Store of a certain region will only work with games released in that same region. (ex.: UK game will only work with add-ons from UK PlayStation Store) This PS3 PSN game is forcing me to be logged in to PSN before playing it! A handful of games have strict DRM that requires the account owner to either be logged in to PSN or have the account password saved on the PS3 for others to access. It also places a 24-hour lock on the game found on any other devices with the same account. List of games with this strict DRM: Final Fight: Double Impact Bionic Commando: Rearmed 2 Warhawk Gran Turismo 5: Prologue (not in store anymore) Other things related to PlayStation Store: I bought a PS3 game and tried to install it. The system says I don't have enough hard drive space, yet my hard drive is not full. How much hard drive space do I need for installations? For PS3 game installations, the system requires free hard drive space of at least double the size of the installation file. (ex.: 2 GB installation file needs 4 GB of free hard drive space) Vita and PS4 games do not need extra space for installations. On my PS4, why can't I download all of my old PSN games? I thought PSN games are playable on all PS systems. PSN games are only playable on the platform they were made for. Some games may have multiple versions released at no additional cost through cross-buy offers. I got a PlayStation TV and some of my downloaded Vita games won't work. Shouldn't all Vita games work with this? Unfortunately, no. Due to either licensing, lack of testing by the game developer, or extensive use of the front and rear touchscreens, some Vita games are blocked from being playable on PS TV. The NA store does provide a section devoted to PSTV-compatible games found here. On PlayStation Now, I see some PS3 games that I own the download versions of, but it's asking me to pay to play them. Don't I get free access to streaming games if I own the download version? No. Even though PS Now acknowledges that you own those games, there is no free streaming option if you own the game. It is still possible to share an account with others? Yes, but limits on sharing had changed a long time ago. Starting on November 18, 2011, purchases made in the PlayStation Store can only be on a maximum of 2 activated PS3s and 3 activated portable systems. PSPs and Vitas share portable activations, and it was raised to 3 from 2 due to the release of PlayStation TV. PS4 games bought from PlayStation Store can only be on 1 activated PS4, but they can be played on another PS4 system as long as you are logged in to PSN, sort of like a roaming profile. For purchases made before November 18, 2011, they can still exist on a maximum of 5 PS3s and 5 portable systems. If you try to manually activate a PSN account on a 3rd or higher PS3 through Account Management, an error message will appear about the 2 device limit. A roundabout way to activate a 3rd or higher PS3 is to just download anything bought before November 18, 2011 though the Download List to that PS3. The PS3 will be activated before the download starts. This will only work on anything bought before November 18, 2011. Any attempts to download anything after November 18, 2011 on a 3rd or higher PS3, even after activating it from the method above, will stop and give you the error message about the 2 device limit. Here is the thread for sharing PSN accounts. Is it possible to redeem a PSN code without a PS device? For most codes, yes. Log in through this link to go straight to the code redemption link and enter in the PSN code. If the code is for something to download, the item will go to the top of your download list. After that, go to the download list through the PS device and select the item to download it. One exception to this are codes for PlayStation Plus. They can only be redeemed on PS systems. I don’t have internet access on my PS4 or PS3. Can I buy something on someone else’s system, then copy it onto an external drive and transfer it to my system? No, this is not possible. I got inFamous as one of the free Welcome Back games back in 2011, but the listing for it locks me out and I don't want to search through the download list to find it. Go to this secret listing in the webstore and add this to the PS3 download queue. The PS3 will download it the next time you turn it on. The main listing blocks everyone that claimed the free Welcome Back version, and the Welcome Back listing is hidden away except through the link above.

Check your email inbox. The "extensions" for PS+ from last week's downtime are being sent out, but the extension is in a form of a PSN code for 1 day of PS+ that you have to redeem yourself. That is worth around 14 cents. I haven't received my code yet.

Katana Gomai posted:Those are actually going to be super useful for when you let your sub lapse and just want to grab a month's games without subbing again (because you already have a huge backlog or whatever.) If you time it right, you could even "buy" two months of ps+ games with that. That's not going to work for long. The email says the code expires at the end of March.

If you haven't accessed the PS3 or Vita stores yet, you'll have to install new system software before you can log in to PSN with them. The latest update killed off Facebook support and a handful of exploits.

Feenix posted:Wait the full version is out for Crypt in Japan?! Was it known it was releasing earlier there? Also trip report on the understandability of the Japanese demo for this dirty gaijin. I can confirm it's all in English if the system is set to that. Here is my horrible playthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7IrBCnY_lg For a game dedicated to matching rhythm, the first song is awful.

There may have been a last-minute replacement for the PS+ games before they were announced. https://twitter.com/oldmario/status/692862216484179968 Under the What's New section on PS3 for EU accounts, an icon for PS+ games shows Grid Autosport along with I Am Alive, not Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. I wonder what happened with I Am Alive for it to be replaced. Will it show up in a future PS+ game lineup?Dehry posted:Atelier Escha & Logy Plus appears to have been delisted from the PSN store. The DLC still comes up but the base game is gone. It's up for me: NA store EU store PS Blogcast is up. I'll post whatever was announced in the next few minutes.

The problems are not hitting everyone, which is the more frustrating thing than the defects.

The reported problems are happening on all models and PSTV. I reported the problems to PS support and they acknowledged it, so hopefully something will be done soon.
