How do I delete my PS5 account online?
In this article, we’ll guide you through the step-by-step process of deleting your PS5 account online. Before we begin, please note that deleting a PSN account is an irreversible process, and once deleted, you’ll permanently lose access to all the games, DLC, and other content associated with that account.
Before deleting your account
Before we dive into the process of deleting your PS5 account online, there are a few things you should keep in mind:
- Backup your data: Before deleting your account, make sure to backup any important game saves, screenshots, or videos associated with that account.
- Check the store: Check the PlayStation store to ensure you have backed up any purchased games, DLC, or content you don’t want to lose access to.
- Recover your account information: Make sure you have recovery information for your account, such as your account credentials, email address, or phone number.

What happens to my games and content after deleting my account?
After deleting your PS5 account online, all your saved games, DLC, and other content will no longer be accessible. Your downloaded games will no longer appear in your game library, and you won’t be able to access online content or multiplayer features.
If you’ve purchased games as part of a PlayStation Network (PSN) collection, you may need to re-purchase the individual games or collections. The same applies to any DLC or bonus content associated with these games.
