Why is my downloaded ps4 game locked

No new information has been divulged regarding this outage, but from the looks of everything, it doesn't appear to be anything akin to the large scale PSN hack that saw some 77 million user accounts compromised and has been a blight on Sony's reputation ever since.

Let's say you're having this problem and it isn't related to a network outage, what then? Again, there are several reasons for why one can be "locked" out of their games. I just deactivated and activated as primary ps4 in the accojnt with the game, and the PS plus and now the game is locked on all my accounts Another solution is to disable your console as the primary one and then reactivate it as the primary one yet again.

Here's how you get that done:. Hi AskPlayStation. All my games are locked on my PS4. Even if you are not game sharing, you will run into some issues with games that are locked if you own two PS4 consoles.

Here is some help to unlock them. If you are experiencing this issue, you will likely be familiar with the primary and secondary PS4 system. The primary PS4 will store licenses on the machine and you will not need to constantly revalidate. This means the lock icon will never appear. If you are using a secondary PS4, you need to have an active internet connection to validate the license.

Any failure in these requests to validate will cause the games to lock. For fixing the PS4 game locked icon issue, I will assume that switching the PS4 to primary is not currently an option for you. The following steps will allow you to fix the problem assuming you are not sharing games with friends. If you were playing a game and it is in suspend mode, you will see the game is active, but the padlock is preventing you from loading the game. If this happens, you can wait a few moments.

The PS4 is attempting to communicate with the PSN servers to check whether you have a valid license to play this game.
