What happens to my balance when I switch consoles?

Your PSN credit is tied to your PlayStation account, not your console. So when you switch to a new PlayStation console, you’ll still be able to use your credit (as long as you use the same PS account).

Are there limits to the amount of money that I can add to my PlayStation account?

The PlayStation Wallet does have a limit in the amount of funds you can add to it. Reddit users discovered that the limit seems to be at $375 in 2023, but PlayStation hasn’t officially revealed how high the limit is, and the amount may vary in different regions. If you're unable to redeem PSN credit, it might be because you’ve reached your limit. Be sure to check with the PlayStation support team if you run into any issues.

Yes you can! Our PlayStation Store cards make the perfect gift for any of your gamer friends and family. You can even decorate the card with our gifting module.
