Do PS player need to buy HW on the PSN Store?

Hey guys i want to gift a friend of mine HW for Christmas but hes playing on a Ps and i play on Pc. So i have no clue whats the difference with Mog-Station and ADD Ons.
In the PSN Store you need t pay 50 bucks for Hw while a Pc Key coast 13...

Can PS player use Keys for HW in the Mog station?

From my understanding, it needs to be through the psn store.

It does NOT need to be bought on PSN, I have the physical version of the Heavensward CE and I play on ps4. The only one that forces you to buy it through them, is Steam.

It has to be the PS version, you can buy a physical copy at any game store, Amazon, etc. You may be able to get the physcial copy direct from Square Enix not sure.

It does not need to be purchased from PSN. He can use a physical copy so long as he also has ARR on the same console. As it stands, I'm not sure that HW can be purchased separately on PSN anymore. I know there was some weird change with that during launch.

Like PC that can only play games that says PC platform, it should be the same for PS3/4.

So can you buy a Key and register it on Mog-Station for HW?
He has Realm from the PSN Store.

Yes, there will be a key inside the game case that can be entered on mog station, when they do that, they should receive a code they can input on the psn, using a physical copy though, psn won't read it as having been bought. So long as you buy your friend a key for the playstation 3/4 version (whichever version they have ARR of already), it will be fine. You cannot buy a pc license for a console version, however.

as you can see, my psn doesn't have me as "bought" heavensward;

what's the site you're buying from? Do they deal in other console games? If it's a site that deals only in PC games, they may just assume people would know that and not need to state it specifically

looking at that page, it mentions that it's not compatible steam, so I'm gonna go on it being a pc copy, since the steam copy forces you to buy heavensward off steam directly

I have an extremely limited memory of the german language, I took it for 4 years in highschool....12 years ago lol

You can try;

Amazon

Gamestop.de

I'm not sure what stores there are there, or anything like that, but I'll gladly do my best to help you with your gift

mmoga.de though had no console keys under the playstation network option on the sidebar there though, so i'm fairly certain you can't get it from there

You can also buy it as a disk for PS3 or PS4

Additional note: From experience, Heavensward needs to be registered (purchased) twice if playing on PS3 and PS4. OP needs to get Heavensward for the correct console or else it's for nothing.
