Autember Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Which type of account is needed to qualify a game as 'AS'? Which selection box to choose when creating a new psn account specifically for 'AS' games needs to be selected? Been looking for anyone asking something like this and just can't seem to find anything regarding it. If i make a Hong Kong account, does that equal 'AS'? But Ive seen games listed as 'HK' as well. So is it Malaysia/Singapore instead? Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadiochao Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Yeah, buying a game from the Hong Kong store will generally get you the AS list. All of the region tagging on this site has been added manually over a long time, so there'll probably be inconsistencies or errors. That said, every game currently tagged HK should probably be changed to AS. I don't think there are any lists exclusive to the Hong Kong store, it's just happens to be the most common store people choose when they want AS lists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autember Posted October 6, 2018 Author Share Posted October 6, 2018 Thank you. Do Malaysia/Singapore still work for AS lists as well? Or would Hong Kong be the best choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadiochao Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 They should, but I only have experience using the Hong Kong store, myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindMango Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Developers tend to split up their lists in Asia randomly, sometimes they have a list for Japan only, then another list for Korea only, and so on. So if a region is marked as "Asia" it tends to be available in more than one country (Or more places than just Hong Kong & Taiwan). There are times where developers amass all (or most) Asian countries into one list. So a list that shares Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, and sometimes even Korea, Japan, & China will be marked as plainly "Asia". If the list is just made for Japan it will be marked Japan. If it's a list exclusively for Hong Kong (and Taiwan) it will be marked as Hong Kong. Downloading the game from the HK store is typically your bet choice here but you'll want to check the games leaderboards for all the regions that's included in that list.
