Sony seems to have quietly stopped sending email receipts for free games and DLC claimed thr🐼ough the PlayStati♛on Store.

As first spotted by and a number of observers on , the latest batch of free PS Plus games doesn't appear to be sending email receipts like the service did with all previous releases. It's🍒 unclear whether Sony has formally ended receipts for free games and DLC or if it just hasn't been sending them out in error, but we can confirm we aren't getting them either. We've reached out to PlayStation for comment and will update this story if we hear back.

, the receipts could theoretically serve as useful proof that a product was claimed should you ever run into funny business with licenses. Most reckon that this is really only a concern with Essential-tier games, which are supposed to be tied to your account until you unsubscribe, whereas Extra and Premium-tier games go away once they leave the subscription library itself. 

In all likelihood, it's unliꦰkely anyone will run into an issue where PlayStation tries to quietly axe some free Essential games, and if they ever did🥃, it's even less likely that an email receipt is going to stop them. I certainly don't need a paper trail between me and the free digital games I'm essentially just borrowing, so this is nothing but good news in my view.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places li🍷ke SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
