A PlayStation Store gift card adds money to your PSN wallet, which you can spend on games, add-ons, in-game currency and subscriptions. The code is digital, so redeeming it takes a minute. This guide shows you how to do it on PS5, PS4 and in a web browser, and how to avoid the most common mistake: buying a code for the wrong region.
Before you buy: match the region
PlayStation Store gift cards are issued for a specific region, and your PSN account has a region too. The two must match. Your account region is set when the account is created, so check it first and buy the card for that region. You can browse the PlayStation Store gift cards by region, for example the US cards.
How to redeem on PS5
- Turn on your PS5 and sign in to the PSN account you want to top up.
- Open the PlayStation Store from the home screen.
- Choose Redeem Codes from the store menu.
- Enter the code from your order and confirm.
- The balance is added to your wallet and shows at checkout.
How to redeem on PS4
- Sign in to your account and open the PlayStation Store on the home screen.
- Scroll the left-hand menu and select Redeem Codes.
- Type in the code and confirm.
How to redeem on the web
- Go to store.playstation.com and sign in to your account.
- Open the menu under your profile picture and select Redeem Codes.
- Enter your code and confirm. The balance is available on your console after a moment.
If the code does not work
- Check each character. Codes do not contain spaces, and some letters and numbers look alike.
- Make sure you are signed in to the account whose region matches the card.
- Each code works once. If it says it was already redeemed, contact the store you bought it from.
Safety tips
- Redeem codes only inside the official PlayStation Store.
- Never send your code to anyone before you use it.
- Sony will never ask for your password to apply a gift card.
