Finding downloadable content for a specific videogame on the PlayStation 5, as well as the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition, can be a little difficult.
If you are having a hard time finding the DLC location on your PS5 game, then you can follow this guide from Seeking Tech.
Where to find DLC for a game on the PS5 Home Screen
To find the DLC for a game you have on your Home Screen, you need to do the following:
1. First off, you need to be in the home screen of the PlayStation 5. This is the main menu where you can select which game to play, go to the PlayStation Store and more.
2. In the game selection portion of the home screen, highlight the game that you want to view the DLC for.
3. Press down on the analog stick or directional pad with the game highlighted. Don’t press the X button as that will launch the game instead.
4. Keep scrolling down until you reach the Add-Ons section.
Alternatively, you can also select the “…” option, which is right next to the “Play Game” option. Afterwards, select the “View Product” option and then navigate downwards until you see the Add-Ons section.
If a videogame has more than 9 downloadable content pieces, you can scroll all the way to the right of the Add-Ons section and then select the “View All Add-Ons” option at the very end to bring up a new full-page menu that shows off all the DLC pieces.
