Whether you’ve received a promotional code, bought a game digitally, or need to redeem DLC for an existing game, the process is straightforward once you know the steps. Here’s a quick guide to help you redeem codes on your PS4 and get your content fast.
Step 1: Open the PlayStation Store
- Turn on your PlayStation 4 and navigate to the PlayStation Store. The store is located on the far left of the main menu, easily identifiable by its shopping bag icon.
- Once you’re in the PlayStation Store, you’re ready to move to the next step.
Step 2: Find the Redeem Code Menu

- Inside the PlayStation Store, scroll down through the left-hand menu until you see the Redeem Code option at the bottom.

Step 3: Input Your Code
- Using the on-screen keyboard, enter your 12-digit code (make sure to enter the digits exactly as shown, including any hyphens if applicable).
- After entering the code, select Continue to proceed.
Step 4: Confirm and Access Your Content
- After you’ve entered the code, you’ll be taken to a confirmation screen displaying the item you’ve unlocked. This could include a game, DLC, subscription, or wallet funds.
- Review the details on the screen to confirm that the correct content is linked to your account.
- If everything looks good, select Confirm, and your item will be added to your library or account, ready to use.

- Expired Codes: Some codes, especially promotional or time-limited ones, might have an expiration date. Make sure your code is still valid.
- Content Not Appearing?: If your content doesn’t show up right away, try restarting your PS4 or checking the Download Queue in the Notifications section of your home screen.
