A Question About Compatibility

[MrTacoNinja]

I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this (not compatible) but if I own the physical NA disc and buy the UK DLC off PSN will the DLC work?

No. DLC needs to be from the same region as the base game to be compatible. I haven't seen an exception to this for any game.

And what if owned a physical EU(Germany) disc and buy the SP(Spanish) or UK(United Kingdom) DLC of PS STORE which is very much cheaper than the US Store, will the DLC still works?

Most of the time that works, but there are rare exceptions. When in doubt, check the game's CUSA code (PS4) or PPSA code (PS5). If they match, then DLC between those regions will be compatible.

 

Example 1:
AC Valhalla UK: https://store.playstation.com/en-gb/product/EP0001-PPSA01490_00-GAME000000000000

AC Valhalla Germany: https://store.playstation.com/de-de/product/EP0001-PPSA01490_00-GAME000000000000

 

In the URL, you can see they have the same PPSA code "PPSA01490", so DLC from one region will work with the base game from the other region.

 

Example 2:
Wolfenstein 2 UK: https://store.playstation.com/en-gb/product/EP1003-CUSA07377_00-COLOSSUSFULLGAME

Wolfenstein 2 Germany: https://store.playstation.com/de-de/product/EP1003-CUSA07379_00-COLOSSUSFULLGAME

 

In the URL, you can see they have different CUSA codes "CUSA07377" and "CUSA07379", so DLC from one region will NOT work with the base game from the other region.

I asked this because it happened to me with Red Faction Guerrilla, i have the physical UK disc ''BLES00592'' and needed to buy the ''Demon's of the badlands'' DLC from the same region, in this case UK, other EU regions would not work. I must check the DLC region codes on the spanish and UK ps stores and corroborate they matched with my physical German copy which is ''BLES00845''

Look on ebay for the "Velvet edition" it has the dlc on disc and tends to be pretty cheap got mine for 3 bucks. You can also convert your save game from the standard to the velvet edition with a "cheatcode"
