Your game might be locked on PS5 for a few reasons: it could be due to licensing issues (the account that purchased the game is not set as your primary PS5), connection problems (needing to restore licenses online), or payment issues (a refund request or chargeback was made). To resolve this, set your PS5 as your primary console under the account settings, restore licenses via account management, or ensure all payments are settled. If problems persist, contact PlayStation support.
