How to redeem a PSN card

There are three ways to redeem your PSN card - in your browser, on your console, or via the PlayStation app. Here’s how each of these methods works.

Redeeming your PSN voucher in your browser

To redeem your PSN card online, follow these steps:

Go to the PlayStation Store and log into your account.
Select your profile at the top of the screen.
Select Redeem Code from the drop-down menu.
Enter your 12-digit code and select Continue. Your credit is now applied to your account and you can use it right away.

Redeeming your PSN card on your console (PS5)

To redeem your PSN voucher on your PS5 console, follow these steps:

Go to PlayStation Store and press the triangle button to open the menu.
Select …(More) > Redeem Code.
Enter your 12-digit code and select Redeem. Your credit is now applied to your account.

It’s also possible to redeem your PSN card during checkout when you’re purchasing a subscription or content. To do so, simply select Redeem Codes and Gift Cards from the payment method menu.

Redeeming your PSN card on your console (PS4)

To redeem your PSN voucher on a PS4 console, the steps are similar to those on a PS5 console:

Go to PlayStation Store, get to the bottom of the sidebar and select Redeem Codes.
Enter your 12–digit code and select Continue > Confirm/Yes. That’s it!

Redeem your PSN voucher in the PlayStation app

If you have the PlayStation app, that’s another place you can easily redeem your code. Here’s how it works:

Open the PlayStation app.
Select the PS Store icon, followed by the menu icon on the right side of the screen.
Select Redeem Code.
Enter your 12-digit code and select Continue. You guessed it – you’re done!

What can you do after redeeming your PSN card?

Well, now it’s time for all the fun! After redeeming your PSN card, you can start using your funds right away. For example, to buy:

Any game from the PlayStation Store, including new releases and exclusive titles.
A PlayStation Plus subscription for online multiplayer gaming, free monthly games, and special discounts.
Seasonal passes that allow you access to exclusive content for selected games.

The possibilities are endless!

Common issues when redeeming a PSN card

Sometimes, issues can arise while you’re redeeming your voucher. Here are some common problems and how to resolve them:

Invalid code: Double-check your 12–digit code and ensure that you’ve entered it correctly. If the code is still not accepted, it may be that you have purchased a fraudulent code. To avoid this situation, make sure you only buy your PSN cards from a reliable source, such as Mobiletopup.co.uk.
Code already redeemed: If the code has already been used, it cannot be redeemed again. Also this situation is only likely to happen if you buy your code from an unreliable platform. In any case, what you should do is contact the place of purchase to seek support.
Region restrictions: PSN cards are region-locked. You can only redeem your PSN code if its region matches your account. Your account region is selected when the account is set up, and you cannot change it afterwards. Always check the PSN card you’re buying for an indication of which PS Store it’s intended for.
