Can I re-download my ps3 digital games to ps4 games? - Turned-on Red and Green Nintendo Switch

I have a few games that I want to bring to PS4 when I get one. It's Destiny, Advanced Warfare, and other digital games that are also on PS4. So if its on ps4 and I have it on my ps3, can I download it again?



Best Answer

It depends on the developer and publisher of the game. If the game employs the cross-buy system, a PS4 license should automatically be added to your account when it is released, if you purchased the digital version of the game on the PS3.

This was the case with the recently released PS4 version of Journey, as well as with Flower, Spelunky HD, The Unfinished Swan and several other games.

You can confirm whether a released PS4 game supports cross-buy simply by visiting its store page in the PSN store. If you bought the game on PS3 and it supports cross-buy, instead of a Buy button with a price tag, there should be a Download button or Options button, which offers alternate download options in a drop-down menu.

Can I get my downloaded PS3 games on PS4?

The short answer is that no, the PlayStation 4 is not backward-compatible with PlayStation 3 games. Inserting a PS3 disc into the PS4 will not work. And you cannot download digital versions of PS3 games from the PlayStation Store onto your PlayStation 4.

Can you upgrade PS3 digital games to PS4?

Insert the PS3 game disc into your PS4 system** in order to play the game....To download the PS4 version of the game:

  • Can you restore PS3 purchases on PS4?

    PS4 doesn't support ps, ps2 or ps3 games. You can't re download them onto the console from the store for that reason. It is reasonable to assume that if Sony ever add support for, say, downloaded PS1 games then previously purchased titles will be available to you in the store.
