Game region does matter depending on your PSN account region and DLC compatibility. Games and downloadable content (DLC) are often region-locked, so a game from one region might not work with DLC from another. To ensure a seamless experience, it's best to match your game region with your PSN account region to avoid any compatibility issues.

FAQs & Answers

  1. What is game region locking? Game region locking prevents games and DLC from different geographical areas from being compatible, ensuring games work only within their designated regions.
  2. How do I know my PSN account region? Your PSN account region is determined by the country you selected when you created your account, which influences your access to games and DLC.
  3. Can I change my PSN account region? No, you cannot change your PSN account region after it is created; creating a new account is the way to access a different region.
  4. What should I do if my game and DLC are from different regions? If your game and DLC are from different regions, they may not work together due to region locking, so it's best to purchase games and DLC from the same region.
