Re: I cannot purchase an ea play subscription on my ps5

@dezbryantfan88 

Very strange. Have you tried changing the payment method on your PlayStation Network account to see if that helps push the transaction through? 

We've seen players resolve errors similar to this by deleting the app and re-installing it.

    Hey there. Question for you, have you tried reaching out to PlayStation Support to see if there is anything on the PSN account preventing you from purchasing it? Although EA Play is our service, the transaction itself goes through the PlayStation account through PlayStation's marketplace. 

  • @100pVRX i cant subscribe using credit card/debit card but I'm able to buy by buying the PSN wallet first then subscribe the EA Play. hope this help.

    @EA_Blueberry yes i do. they ask me to ask EA for help. but when I ask EA, they tell me the same thing. go ask Sony. but I found my own solution anyway.

    Hi @arefixed,

    Unfortunately we cannot help with payment issues for EA Play on PlayStation. As the purchase is done through PlayStation, you will have to reach out to PlayStation. 

    I don't like sending someone to a support team after they told them to ask us, but in this case there isn't much that we can do. 

    You also mentioned that you managed to fix this by yourself, could you explain how you fixed it? It could help others that encountered the same issue as you have.

    Hey y'all i found a workaround! Load up the PSN credits and additionally add a MasterCard card to the wallet. This seemed to work for adding the EA Play subscription to a PS5. Not sure if it's payment rails related or whatnot, but figured I'd give folks some guidance on what worked for me.
