PS5 DLC: How To Find Add-Ons And Download DLC Content

Add-Ons and DLC for your PS5 games are a major part of the gaming experience for a lot of players. Yes, you've completed the main story, but those additional missions can be as good, and sometimes even better, than the basic content in the game. But sometimes finding that additional content isn't as simple as it could be.

We're here to make that as easy as we can, and in addition, once you've found that add-on content, we'll explain how you can download it as well. Whether you are looking for some wrathful druids in Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, a trip to Iki Island in Ghost of Tsushima, or you just want to see what content is available, everything you need to know about add-ons and DLC is right here.

How To Find Add-Ons

Sony has made a real effort to clean up the user interface for the PS5, making it as streamlined as possible. So finding add-ons for your games is a really straightforward process:

If you already own a game that you are searching for:

  • Highlight the relevant tile for your game
  • Choose View Game
  • Scroll down to see the list of available Add-On content
  • Select the content you wish to purchase

If you want to have a look at games you don't have on your PS5:

  • Open the PlayStation Store from the main dashboard
  • Select the search icon in the upper right corner of the store
  • Search for the relevant game and select
  • Scroll down to the Add-Ons section and select View All Add-Ons
  • Select the DLC you wish to download or purchase
