Call of Duty: Advance Warfare for PS4, PS3

We’re just one month from the launch of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare! Today, Activision announced that as an added benefit, for a limited time, all PS3 digital purchases of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare will also receive the PS4 version for free. In addition to this upgrade offer, if you purchase the PS4 version of the game, you will receive the PS3 version through our cross-buy program.

This limited time-offer also applies to all DLC purchased for in-game use, including the Season Pass. Additionally, all stats and in-game progress upgrades will transfer for free, with no deadline.

Below we’ve compiled answers to some common questions about the cross-buy offer. Click here for the full FAQ.

A: When you buy/redeem the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Digital Base Game, Digital Pro Edition, or Season Pass for PS3 or PS4 by March 31st, 2015, you can download the other version from the PlayStation Store for free by doing the following:

  • Add the item to your cart and complete the transaction.

  • In the instructions written by Playstation themselves, they CLEARLY state that ON OR AFTER 11/3 you WILL be able to download your free copy onto your PS4/PS3. Way to confuse and trick people into paying twice. You take something so good and eff it all up in typical PS style. So which is it PS?????????????????? Release day OR 11/3 THAT YOU SPECIFICALLY told everyone!

  • If I buy a digital code from amazon does this promotion apply to that code/game version as well or does it have to be purchased off of the playstation store?

  • Bought the PS4 version, I can’t get the ps3 version down… It’s trying to charge me again.

  • It’s the 3rd and this still isn’t working!

  • After going through a couple links on the website it says to restore licenses to get the ps4 version in order to do that go to
    [settings]->[psn]->[restore licenses] after that just go to the store and download the free version. DISCLAIMER: this didn’t work for me but i thought i would leave it here for others to try

  • Has anyone tried to get support on chat? It won’t work on my phone.

  • Thanks to another online post, I found the following information and it seems be a workaround to get both versions. Thought I would pass it along!

    1. Go to the PSN Store via the web and sign in with your account information.
    2. Search for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
    3. Add the free PS3 or PS4 version that you previously purchased to your cart.
    4. Confirm the order and checkout. The total should be $0.00.
    5. Go to your Download List on the Web Store
    6. You should see content for both versions listed in your queue. Click the files you want to download and turn on your PS3/PS4.
    The download should start.

  • Comment 107 – Thank you! this actually worked for me! Great job!

  • Looks like logging into the playstation store on the web as mentioned in comment 107, is also working for me. PS4 version now in process of downloading…

  • I found out how to download the free version for ps3,what you do is.

    Goto PStore On your ps4,then goto your call of duty game you just brought and act like you wanna download it again…when it ask you if you wanna download the single player version or multi-player version for ps4,hit the o button and back out and bam you can now download the ps3 version for free.

    Hope this helps you guys :).

  • Okay Comment 107 works. just signed in on my mac and followed the instructions 107 left. The download just started on my PS4. Thanks a lot.

  • I bought my ps4 digital version for the cross-buy capabilities you don’t get from buying the physical copy. Sadly, upon logging in today, I’ve yet to be able to download my PS3 cross buy copy. I’ve followed the instructions to the T and it tells me I have to pay 99 bucks. What the Duce Sony, what the Duce.
