How to purchase a PS4 digital code on Amazon
Like physical products, purchasing a digital product on Amazon is exactly the same in terms of adding it into your cart and then paying for the product.
1. To ensure you are purchasing a digital code, we strongly recommended that you type in the PS4 product (specifically video games) you are interested in buying and the words “digital code” when searching for it on Amazon.
2. After purchasing your PS4 digital code, you can directly access it by heading to your "Games and Software Library." This houses all of your digital gaming-related purchases made on Amazon, regardless of whether or not you've redeemed them yet.
3. In the library, you can view your code, which will be ready to redeem at your convenience.
