Ps4 refund started download

Buying or renting a bad movie over PlayStation Video might motivate you to check what your options for getting your money back are. With so many products available on the PlayStation Network, things can get confusing. The first thing to remember is that you cannot initiate a refund request on your console. You will have to use a browser on your computer or your smart device. This rule also applies to:. There is one little trick, though—you are not eligible for getting your money back if you downloaded or used any digital content unless that content is faulty.

You should be extra careful about this rule when it comes to season passes and in-game consumables as they can be purchased through games and get downloaded or used right away. To prevent possible issues with game refunds, make sure to turn off Automatic Downloads on your PS4 console. A similar rule applies to PlayStation Video titles. You have 14 days to change your mind. If you forget about the movie for more than two weeks or start streaming it, your refund rights will be revoked.

When it comes to pre-ordered digital content, you have two options:. Pre-order purchases made more than 14 days before the release date. Refunds are possible up to 14 days after the purchase.

If you choose to pay for PlayStation Plus or Now subscription services, you should know that the two-weeks period for changing your mind still applies. If there is a free trial window, it is included in that timeframe, so be careful.

When it comes to these two subscriptions, the refund you get might not be the full amount you paid initially. The refunds might be reduced to reflect the way you used the subscription service—not just the time, but also downloaded games, using cloud storage, playing online, etc.

Subscriptions to PlayStation Plus or PlayStation Now can be refunded within 14 days of your purchase, but those, too, will credit your PSN wallet instead of your original payment method. However, given how relaxed some of the competition is, it seems lacking. Steam, for example, will refund your original payment method up to 14 days after purchase even if you played the game in question for less than two hours.

If you started to download or stream the purchased content you are not eligible for a refund unless the content is faulty," reads the support page on the official PlayStation site.

Players would also be able to request a refund at anytime up until the release date of a game. And if it was purchased post-release, a refund can be requested 14 days after the date of purchase. This follows the announcement of Sony curtailing the online service to several of its PS4 games including Driveclub. All online features including online multiplayer modes will cease on that date. You will still be able to play and enjoy these games in single player offline modes," a post from Sony reads.
