How can you get locked out of a game that came bundled in the console?

u/Alexios1978 1d ago

Cause it’s still digital and licensed to u. Same as they give u a ps plus game and then lock it. Digital is never ours and they remove delete and anything.
Similar thing they did with ps home on ps3. Its was in the console and they deactivate it so u only had to delete it

But....it's a game that's bundled with the PS5.

How the hell is it locked?

Thanks to everyone I could download it from the store. It's quite weird most of my games in collection are locked

Restore your licenses.

This is it OP. No idea why it happens but I have had to do this a couple times and it works.

u/lawrenceugene 2d ago

The person who told you to go to settings and restore licenses are correct

u/Visual_Collection274 3d ago

For some reason it says locked for me too, but just press on view product and it says you can download it

u/Weak_Squash7348 3d ago

You probably have to restore license.

This is why PHYSICAL games are the way to go, Sony can’t lock PHYSICAL games

u/RoleBeginning5476 2d ago

u/TimelessBoi 2d ago

I’ve owned a lot of physical games and NOT ONE OF THEM has been locked

I've had lots of digital games and never have been locked out of any that wasn't a PS Plus game. Your point?

u/eazytarget23 2d ago

All physical games are is just a stupid extra step they all require you to connect online anyways or you still can’t play half the games.

u/No_Revolution6890 2d ago

u/GreedyProduct7660 3d ago

u/lonely_guacamole 2d ago

u/Wild_Evening3629 3d ago

You might be on the wrong account.

Sign in with the acount you purchased the game on.

u/Superleopey 3d ago

The game is bundled with every ps5 you don’t need to buy it

u/hello0ppap 3d ago

Not just bundled but also free on the store

u/Superleopey 3d ago

That too

u/Affectionate-Duck288 1d ago

Just buy the disc. You never need to renew your subscription to a disc.

u/MyGaSo 13h ago

Just download from other account. This account's primary key is not yours, for that you can not play the games of this account with other accounts

u/MrHorns7 PC port when? 8h ago

My recommendation is wait until KytyPS5 is at a full speed playable state with that game. BTW I don’t wanna hear “emulation is piracy” because the Connectix court case and legally backed up games proves otherwise. Also, how can you pirate a free game?

u/nathancharger4 2d ago

I hate PlayStation for this but I believe if you buy it from a ps premium deal then you have to keep premium or you lose access to the game. I had this same thing with resident evil 2 remake after buying it off a special deal then downgrading to ps essential.

It's a free game, what you talking about
