PS4 owners unable to re-download Surviving Mars DLC

PlayStation 4 players who purchased paid expansions and add-ons for Surviving Mars report they cannot re-download those items after Surviving Mars: Relaunched replaced the original PlayStation Store listings. Publisher Paradox Interactive has acknowledged the problem but has not provided a timetable for a fix.

The original Surviving Mars and its DLC were removed from storefront listings to make way for Surviving Mars: Relaunched, which launched in 2025. Players noticed the download problem soon after the Relaunched SKU replaced the older store entries.

Affected users say the issue only prevents re-downloading paid add-ons on PS4; the base 2018 Surviving Mars game remains playable on consoles where it is already installed. Some players report they can access the same DLC on other platforms but not on PlayStation 4.

Paradox confirmed it is aware of reports about missing entitlements for purchased add-ons. The company has not said whether the fault lies with its account handling or with how the PlayStation Store processed the delisting and new listing. Sony and Paradox have not issued a joint explanation about license migration to the Relaunched listing.

Users have suggested the PlayStation Store delisting may have removed or failed to transfer entitlement records tied to the original SKUs, which would prevent owners from redownloading content. Community posts and direct reports to the publisher indicate the issue persists for some players.

Surviving Mars first released in 2018 and received multiple paid expansions and add-ons over the years. The relaunched edition arrived in 2025 as a replacement SKU on digital storefronts; the delisting of the original listings and the switch to the Relaunched version preceded the download problems reported by PS4 owners.
