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
