Can you delete a game purchased from the Playstation store then re-install without a subscription at a later date?
I paid for Twisted Metal 2 off of the PS Store app that came with the tablet and everytime I try to download it I get the error code 8008104F. I have tried calling. If you do have a PC with an internet connection, you can download games, demos and other content from the PlayStation Store for PC and sync it to your PSP. Here are 9 steps to making it happen. Now I can't play the game I just purchased. It worked fine. 'Bought Flower on PSN but there's no option to download it. When i launch it from.

If you delete a digital game that you have purchased through the PSN, you can redownload it from the store as long as you are logged into the account that purchased it initially. I constantly delete and redownload games depending on what I feel like playing, as I do not have enough storage space on my PS4 to hold all of the things I have purchased digitally, so I can confirm this myself.
As a side note, PS+ is never required to access content that you have purchased, however, content given for free as a bonus for being a Playstation+ member will expire if your subscription expires and you will lose access to it.
Can't Download Game From Ps Store Download
To see games that you own (downloaded or not), look at your library. It will have all of the software you have licenses for. See here:
Where to find your PlayStation Store purchases
Your most recently downloaded full games are added to the content launcher. If your purchase is not visible on the content launcher, you can find it in your [Library]. Your Library is arranged with all content grouped together, so if you have purchased DLC, go to the main title to find it.
Here is some confirmation of this:
Anything you've ever purchased is tied to your PSN account, so you can redownload any time you need.
There are several ways to re-download, but the easiest is to pull up your download history in the Store.
Here are the official Sony instructions on how to download digital copies of games.
How to download from the PS4 Library
- Select your local user account and go to [Library].
- Select the game or add-on you want to download (add-ons are in a ‘folder’ with the main title).
- Select ‘Download’ on the content screen.
As mentioned by Joe W, if the game has been removed from the store, you will not be able to re-download it once it has been deleted.
The only example I can think of like this is the Silent Hills demo P.T. that only a select number of users still have, since the demo was removed from the store and made unavailable for redownload.
- Launch the PS Store
- Go to the very bottom of the page
- There should be a button saying 'Purchased'
- Select it and pick game you want to download

Here is how to find the Overwatch Free Weekend on PS Store. This just went Live 30 minutes ago.
FOR PLAYSTATION 4:
Step 1: Turn on your PlayStation 4 and log in to your preferred local user.
Step 2: Go to PlayStation Store and scroll down to the Free tab.
Step 3: In the Free tab, Locate 'Overwatch.'
Step 4: Select 'Overwatch Free Weekend' and then click 'Download.'
Step 5: Once the download and installation process is complete, click 'Start' to begin!
If you still cannot see it on the PS Store, please contact Sony customer support.
Update. It is not showing up in search. It's under 'Free' in the PS Online store.
Thanks, that solved it for me
When i go to Overwatch it says i have to pay for it even though its the free weekend, please help :(
This forum is pretty old, altough, I'm having the same issue on Battlenet...
Is this the right forum?
I played the free weekend and bought the game on ps store Romania, now I can't play it, has the error that the free weekend is not available anymore.
Deleted the install, re-downloaded, but still the same issue. I have pictures.
I would make sure to contact Sony to ensure the purchase went through and make sure you are installing the correct version of the game.
However as the free weekend is over I am going to be locking this thread. If you do still have issues after contacting Sony please feel free to open a new thread.
