Original Story:

Already known to be affecting Xbox owners, Ask PlayStation confirmed on Twitter that they’re “aware” of the issues with Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare on PlayStation, particularly the pre-load/pre-order issue where some people are unable to access the game.

If you’re experiencing this problem, the PlayStation Support offered up a solution:

If you pre-loaded CoD: AW and you’re experiencing issues with the game, you must delete all pre-load files from your system and re-download all Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare content.

Please ensure you download all available updates for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and your system is running the latest system software.

Re-download steps

  1. Restore PS4 licenses. [Settings] > [PSN] > [Restore License]. If this doesn’t solve the issue continue to step 2.
  2. Go to Library, highlight Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and press Options.
  3. Delete Game Content.
  4. While still in the Library highlight Call of Duty: AW and press X to re-download the content.

As Ask PlayStation explained in less words about pre-load problems, “If it persists, delete and re-download Advanced Warfare.”
