Gift card description
A PlayStation gift card, or so-called PlayStation Store gift card, is a prepaid virtual payment method that allows you to top-up your PSN account with money. It functions as a form of payment in the PlayStation Store to buy games, downloadable content (DLC), movies and TV shows, music and more!
This is because when you redeem a PlayStation gift card, the funds are automatically added to your PSN wallet and thus if available can be viewed in one of two places: Your PlayStation console or on the website for the PlayStation Store itself. You can then use this money to buy things in the PlayStation Store instead of a credit card or other methods of payment.
FAQs
How to redeem PSN gift cards?
To redeem a PlayStation gift card, follow these steps:
-
Turn on your PlayStation console or access the PlayStation Store website.
-
Sign in to your PlayStation Network (PSN) account. If you don’t have an account, you’ll need to create one.
-
On your console, navigate to the PlayStation Store from the main menu. If you’re using the website, visit store.playstation.com.
-
Once you’re in the PlayStation Store, locate and select the “Redeem Codes” option. On the website, this option is usually found in the upper-right corner.
-
A new screen will appear, prompting you to enter the unique code from your gift card. Carefully input the code using the on-screen keyboard, following any specified format (e.g., including dashes).
-
After entering the code, select “Continue” or a similar option to proceed.
-
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the redemption process. This typically involves confirming the code and accepting any terms and conditions.
-
Once the redemption is successful, the funds from the gift card will be added to your PSN wallet.
-
You can now use the funds in your wallet to make purchases from the PlayStation Store. Browse through the available games, DLC, movies, or other content, and select the items you wish to purchase.
-
When making a purchase, choose the “Add to Cart” or “Buy” option. If your wallet has sufficient funds, the purchase will be deducted from your wallet balance. If the item exceeds your wallet balance, you may need to add additional payment information to cover the remaining cost.
Remember to keep the physical or digital copy of the gift card in a safe place even after redemption, as you may need it for reference or if any issues arise with your account.
