VLAAMINGK_N1 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Since it doens't fit anywhere else I'll post it here since it's just a simple question which is probably for a small group of intrest. I wondered if there's a possibility to buy DLC for games on PS Now? I bought 2 months for the price of 1 (deal from a couple weeks ago). I know some games include DLC, but most of them doesn't include it. It's a streaming service so I don't know if purchases are fitting in the streaming version. Couldn't find anything on the internet about this, so hopefully someone out here may know something more about this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dermarx Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I would say that's not possible. Have no proof since I never tried it but I can't see the PS4 'connecting' a DLC to a game you don't really own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Sony, "You can only stream content that has been made available on PlayStation Now, so any purchased game add-ons or DLC can't be used." I am pretty sure you can use DLC for the games you're able to download. But I haven't tried it myself. However, it is worth noting, the vast majority of the games are not downloadable, so you still need to consider DLCs before you start a game from PSNow.

That would make it identical to games downloaded from Plus, i.e. you can play until your subscription expires. You can buy DLC for Plus games, surely you can do this for downloaded Now games as well? Can anyone confirm or deny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can verify yourself by opening the PSNOw app. You don't need to be subscribed to open and explore it. You can go to the PS4 games section and see whats there and then go to the downloadable games section and you'll see the choices are much different. Most of the good stuff is downloadable though. I haven't tried DLC on games downloaded from PSNow. I think it would work the same as PS Plus like you mentioned. Hopefully, someone else can chime in on that point. I don't plan to resub to PSNow any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The differences you see between browsing "PS4" and "Downloadable" games is the Downloadable section includes both the PS4 and PS2 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
