Kicked off Exiles legacy?

Is the end nigh for consoles?

Trying to play my owned and well built on game , and am told by Playstation I need to ungrade membership to higher level AND rebuy the legacy exiles and siptah games? Seriously?

Uninstalled, and tried to reinstall, and nope saying I need playstation Plus EXTRA membership to be able to play it AND need to re-purchase ps 4 standard editions of both exiles and siptah.. this cannot be correct, paying twice for the game you already paid for?

Anyone else had similar?

As a disclaimer I don’t have a PlayStation so have no clue about them. Here’s what the Google ai had to say so hopefully it helps:

Your PlayStation does not require you to upgrade your subscription or rebuy games you already own. This error typically occurs due to a disconnected game license, an expired PS Plus subscription where the game was originally claimed, or a mix-up between PS4 and PS5 versions of the same game. [1, 2, 3]

Try the following steps to resolve this issue:

1. Restore Your Game Licenses

If you previously bought the game digitally or have an active subscription, your console’s license cache may have simply lost track of your purchase.

  • On PS5: Go to Settings > Users and Accounts > Other > Restore Licenses.
  • On PS4: Go to Settings > Account Management > Restore Licenses. [1, 2, 3, 4]

2. Check for the Correct Game Version

Often, the PlayStation Store will default to a PS5 version or a PS Plus Extra/Premium trial version, prompting you to “Buy” or “Upgrade.” [1, 2]

  • Navigate to the game on your Home Screen or Game Library.
  • Press the Options button (the three lines) on your controller.
  • Select “Game Version” or “View Product” and manually select the PS4 version or the edition you originally purchased/claimed. [1, 2, 3, 4]

3. Verify Account and Subscription Status

If the game was originally “claimed” as part of a monthly PlayStation Plus Essential, Extra, or Premium subscription, you lose access to it if the subscription lapses or is downgraded. [1, 2, 3]

  • Go to Settings > Users and Accounts > Account > Payment and Subscriptions to verify your subscription tier is still active. [1, 2]

Also from further reading this may be something that PlayStation support will have to help with.
