CE-112987-8 error when downloading Need for Speed from PS Store [PS5]

Hi all,

Last week I purchased an EA-Play subscription and one of the games I can play while it's active is Need for Speed 2015/2016/Ghost. The thing is that I am getting an error CE-112987-8 when trying to download the game from the PlayStation Store. I tried all the steps mentioned in the Net regarding this error - restarting the console, rebuilding the console database, clearing the cache, trying from both WiFi/Wired connection, but none of these work. Connection to PS Network and Internet is normal - every other game I try to play is flawless, I've got only issues with Need for Speed. I contacted both PlayStation and EA Support through chat, but in both cases I didn't get any valid solution - EA 'resolved' my case after 1-2 days without any valid solution while PS redirected me to contact the PS Support Team through a 'live chat' option on the support page which is not existing at all.

Have you experienced such issues with other games and how did you solve them? As well, what is sitting behind this error message and what could be the reason for such behavior? I have ~25 days remaining of my subscription because I will not renew it and I wanted to try the game while it's currently active.

Thanks in advance, any help will be appreciated!
