Forums - Sony - Need help with DLC region lock

Ok here is my situation, I download Tales of Berseria from the US playstation network and have been playing it on my EU account. I decided to purchase some DLC from the US psn (since I am playing the USA version) but I can't get it to show up on my account. It appears if I launch the game from my USA account but it wont show if I launch it from the EU account. I'm already half way through the game on my EU account so I don't want to start again just for some DLC lol 

 

Is there any work around for this or am i screwed? 

 

And both accounts are set to primary on my ps4.

I could be wrong but I'm sure DLC isn't region free.

I've bought DLC before for Dynasty Warriors USA version and played it on my EU account and it worked fine.

 

My understanding was as long as you bought the DLC from the same place the game came from then it should work fine.



That's strange... it should work fine if you bought it DLC from same region store as the main game regardless of account...

Sounds to me like the issue is the DLC being account-locked for that particular game... The Crew, Steep and some other games do this, meaning only the account that purchases the DLC gets it... but those games are always-online I don't see why Tales would do it.

Are you sure the DLC is actually downloaded to the console? Maybe if you access the DLC through the USA account then go back to the EU account it'll work... I don't know. :<

It sounds to me like it's account level locked. I've requested a refund though im unsure they will grant it. I along tried that aswell and it didn't work :( it seems like such a strange practise hahaha don't they want my money :P
