Am I able to play a free game on a PS Plus account that was downloaded from an ex-PS Plus account?

I have a game I downloaded for free through a PS Plus account that no longer has the PS Plus membership.

If I were to subscribe to a new primary PS Plus account, would I still be able to play the game or re-download if in the event I delete the game?

Best Answer

No, you will not be able to play your downloaded games. Any free games you downloaded will be unavailable once your membership has ended, since they are linked to that account.

What happens when your PlayStation Plus membership is cancelled?

Once your PlayStation Plus membership ends, content you previously downloaded at no cost as part of the membership (such as Plus Monthly Games) will no longer be available. However, free avatars and content you purchased at a discounted PlayStation Plus price is yours to keep.
