Redeem now

If you have a PlayStation console and a love of gaming, you may get gift card voucher codes for the PlayStation Store from friends or family members. If that's the case, you may be wondering how to use these codes. 

Since the store is 100% online, you'll need to use the code to apply those credits to your account. All you need is the code, an internet connection, and a device — like a console, access to a web browser, or the PlayStation mobile app — to get it done.

Quick tip: If your code has 10 digits, rather than 12, it's not a voucher — it's a discount code. Those are redeemed through your PlayStation shopping cart.

How to redeem PlayStation codes 

The way you redeem a PlayStation code depends on the device you're using.

On a PS4 console:

1. Log in to your account on your PS4 and access the PlayStation Store. This should be a registered account with internet access.

2. From the Store menu, scroll down to the bottom of the left sidebar and select Redeem Codes.

3. Your voucher should have come with a 12-digit code that you can now enter into this box. If the code was bought as a digital purchase, like through Amazon, you might only have the code in an email. An example code will look something like: 94GP-QTNL-KKNN.

4. Hit Redeem.

The credit (or content) will then be applied to your account.

On a PS5 console:

1. Log in to your account on your PS5 and go into Settings.
