Why is my Playstation game code not working?

 

You followed the step by step tutorial to activate your product key, but it’s not working ?

Maybe you are facing an issue while entering your code on the website.

The codes are 12 digit characters long, grouped by 4 and separated by dashes:

XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

Make sure you didn’t forget any digit.

Another thing to check, make sure you differentiate: 0 (zero) and O, Q and D (letter), 1 and capital letter i, B and 8, G and 6, etc.

Hi John, have you tried contacting them via the Store Customer Support about your issue?

Please check this website game2dl.net and maybe consider removing it from your provider of keys as I have had a serious issue with them. Bought a ps4 account and I was unable to sign in. I was given a replacement and repeated this 3 times. I have wrote numerous times to them and left reviews but now they seem to be just ignoring me. I have just been robbed of my money and am extremely unsatisfied. Please remove this website as it is a scam and do not use!!

Hello Eoghan, We asked Game2DL.net to get in touch with you again about this issue, they say it might be because you did not set account to primary. Please check your email for support with them.
