PlayStation 4 (PS4) and PlayStation 5 (PS5) are popular home video game consoles produced by Sony Interactive Entertainment. PS5 is the successor to PS4 and it is backward compatible with PS4.

With a PS4 or PS5 console, you can enjoy various games such as Spider-Man, God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Call of Duty: Vanguard, etc. Some of the games available on PS4 or PS5 are free, but some need to be paid. You can buy games in PlayStation Store.

Can I Get PlayStation Refund?

Sometimes you might regret after buying a game from the PlayStation Store and you might ask can you get it refund. Actually, there are some terms and conditions in the PlayStation Store cancellation policy. And your refund has to follow the terms.

Generally, for full games, downloadable content, in-game consumables, season passes, and other add-ons, you have 14 days from purchase to apply a refund. However, if you have started to download or steam the purchased item, you cannot get refund unless the content is faulty.

As for subscriptions like PlayStation Plus, you can request a refund within 14 days, too. Please note that the refund may be reduced depending on how much you have used the subscribed service.

It seems that all orders can get refund within 14 days. However, pre-orders are different. There are two types of pre-orders.

A: if you made the pre-order purchases more than 14 days before the release date of the product, you can get a refund at any time until the release date. B: if the pre-order was made fewer than 14 days before the release date, you can get a refund within 14 days after the purchase date.

Usually, you can get a refund to the original payment method.
