PS Plus Customers Warned To not Obtain New Sport Proper Away

PS Plus Extra, Premium customers are warned to not obtain an October 2025 recreation with out checking their PS5, PS4 libraries first. Yakuza: Like a Dragon was a part of PS Plus Essential month-to-month lineup in August 2022. If you redeemed the sport then, and obtain it by way of the Extra catalog at this time, you’ll find yourself shedding the Essential license for good.

We’ve been elevating considerations about this subject since Sony revamped PS Plus, and it nonetheless hasn’t been fastened. My final article on this subject was revealed a 12 months in the past, and I proceed to see complaints from unsuspecting gamers who lose entry to their video games by making this error.

For those that aren’t conscious, gamers who redeem month-to-month video games by way of Essential after which obtain them later down the road from the PS Plus Extra catalog discover themselves locked out of mentioned video games for good. Essential video games are yours to maintain, however Extra/Premium video games should not. If you re-download a recreation from Extra that you just beforehand claimed by way of Essential, you’ll override your license. Once these video games depart Extra, you’ll be able to’t play them once more until you buy them.

Sony assist gained’t assist, and there’s no workaround or repair.

So, examine your libraries to be sure you don’t have already got a duplicate of Yakuza: Like a Dragon. If you don’t, go forward and obtain the sport by way of Extra (we extremely suggest it). If you do discover a copy in your library, keep away from the Extra model just like the plague.
