Understanding PS4 Free Games and Redownloads

Starting March 25, Sony has announced a series of free games for PS4 users. But what if you download a game and later delete it? Will you still be able to redownload it later? This article will help you understand the specifics of how free PS4 games work and whether or not you can redownload games you've deleted.

Can I Redownload a Previously Deleted Free Game?

Yes, you can redownload a previously deleted free game from PS4. If you download a free game and then delete it from your library, the game will still be stored in your PS4's library under the 'Not Installed' section. You can easily access these games and redownload them whenever you want. This is different from purchased games, where you might face limitations based on your account status. Free games from Sony are provided as a gift, and you can download them multiple times without any restrictions.

PS4 Game Library and Free Games

Your PS4 game library is a comprehensive collection of all the games you've downloaded, whether they were purchased or received as freebies. When you delete a free game, it doesn't actually remove the game from the library; instead, it simply moves it to the 'Not Installed' section. From there, you can easily locate the game and redownload it when needed.

It's important to note that not all free games are equally accessible. If a game is part of a promotion that requires an active subscription, you will only be able to access that game during the subscription period. Otherwise, you can download and redownload these games freely.

Managing Your PS4 Game Library

Managing your PS4 game library is straightforward. To access the free games you've downloaded but haven't installed, follow these steps:

Go to 'Settings' on your PS4. Click on 'Games Apps'. Tap on 'Games'. Scroll through your game list and look for the 'Not Installed' section. Find the game you want to redownload and start the download.

Just like with any other game on PS4, you can delete and redownload these free games as often as you like, which makes managing your game library a convenient experience.

Conclusion

In conclusion, if you download a free PS4 game and later delete it, you can definitely redownload it again. These games are stored in your library and stay accessible throughout your PS4 ownership. Whether it's a promotional gift or a freebie, you can enjoy these games knowing that they are stored safely in your library for whenever you decide to play them again. So, feel free to take advantage of these generous promotions and enjoy your gaming experience!
