WHAT IS A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD?

A digital download is a video game, software application, or add-on content that you can buy and download without having to purchase a physical copy. It comes in the form of an activation code that can then be downloaded through the Internet to install on the applicable gaming platform.

BENEFITS OF DIGITAL DOWNLOADS

  • Choose from a massive selection of video game and software titles that can be downloaded whenever you want
  • Games eligible for pre-loading can be downloaded in advance, so you can start playing them immediately at midnight on the release date
  • Shop, download and play without having to leave your home or wait for package delivery
  • The ability to log in on a friend’s console, access your game download and play
  • Many games offer additional downloadable content (DLC) that is only available through digital download
