How to redeem your PlayStation 4 key step by step, with the region rules, the account it binds to, and the pitfall that catches most buyers out.
How to redeem the code
- Start the PlayStation Store on the PS4.
- Pick 'Redeem Codes' from the side menu.
- The code can also be entered at store.playstation.com in a browser.
Region and account
As on the PS5, the country on your PSN account decides. A code from another country zone is refused before the download begins.
The title stays tied to the PSN account. On a second console you have to sign in with that same account.
A common pitfall
Many PS4 titles run on the PS5 through backward compatibility. The dedicated PS5 edition with a higher frame rate is a separate product.
