How to redeem a code on a PS5 – step-by-step guide
Step
Access the PlayStation Store
The first step in the process is to find the PlayStation Store on your PS5 home screen. This is located on the left side of the game tab bar, with a blue PS shopping bag as the logo.
Step
Find ‘More’
Once in the PlayStation Store, locate the ‘More’ tab along the top row. The ‘More’ tab is in the top right corner next to the shopping cart. The tab is labelled with “…”.
Step
Hit Redeem Code
Once you have found ‘More’, click on it, and a drop down menu will appear. You will need to select ‘Redeem Code’ from this list.
Step
Enter your code
To redeem a voucher or game codes, enter the 12-character code you have been provided with. Once you have input a valid code, your console will show you what you are about to redeem. If this is correct, hit ‘Redeem’.
If you are looking to use a 10-character discount code, you will need to add the items you want discounted to your cart and enter the code at checkout.
Healthy savings
It is always worth hunting around for PS5 game or voucher codes as they can offer great value. There are also plenty of DLC codes that are released that often require payment, so you can save on those too.
Why is my PS5 redeem code not working?
The first thing to check is to see if your PS5 code has an expiry date. If it is in date, check your network connection. Both your internet connection and the PlayStation Network status can have an effect here. If your code is still not working, try signing out of your PSN account, and sign in again.
Why can’t my PS5 code be redeemed in my region?
PS5 voucher codes can only be redeemed from the same PS Store region as they were bought. Your region would have been selected when your account was set up and can’t be changed.
