PlayStation Store
Introduction
The PlayStation Store is Sony's digital storefront for its consoles, run by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It opened in November 2006 alongside the PlayStation 3 and today sells games, DLC, in-game currency and PlayStation Plus subscriptions for PS5 and PS4, from Sony's own studios and from other publishers.
Purchases are tied to your PlayStation Network account and download to your console. Each region has its own store, catalogue and prices in local currency.
Buying on PlayStation Store
A game bought on the PlayStation Store is added to your PlayStation Network account straight away and downloads to your console. You can usually ask for a refund within 14 days of purchase, as long as you have not started downloading or streaming it; once a download starts, a refund is only given for faulty content. A pre-order can be cancelled for a refund at any time before the game comes out.
Refunds are often credited to your PlayStation Store wallet rather than the card you paid with, and the exact rules vary by region, so check the store's cancellation policy for your country before buying.
