I remember the moment I accidentally deleted my favorite game on my PS5 Pro. Panic set in! But getting it back was easier than I thought. Let’s break it down step by step.
- Fire up your PS5 Pro.
- Log into your account.
- Look for the Game Library. It’s that last icon on the right side of your main menu. Click it!
- In the Game Library, you’ll see a tab called “Your Collection.” This is where all your games hang out, even the ones you’ve deleted. Scroll through or use the search bar to find that deleted game.
- Once you spot your game, highlight it and hit that X button.
- A menu will pop up, and you’ll want to select “Download.” If there’s enough space on your console, the download starts right away.
- If your PS5 Pro is running low on space, head over to Settings, then Storage. You can delete old games or apps that you no longer play. If you have an external storage device, connect it and move some games there to free up space.
- Did your game come with downloadable content (DLC) or add-ons? They should show up in your Game Library too! Make sure to re-download them if they don’t install automatically. To check, go to the game icon, press Options, and choose “Manage Game.”
Re-downloading deleted games on your PS5 Pro is straightforward once you know where to look.
