Grim Fandango Remastered is Having Pre-Order Problems on PSN

News: If you pre-ordered Grim Fandango Remastered on PSN you might run into some problems trying to play the game you pre-loaded.

Grim Fandango Remastered is coming out tomorrow but if you have pre-ordered the game then you might run into some problems. If you have pre-ordered and pre-loaded the game you may need to re-download it according to PlayStation Support. They don’t go into specific detail about what is wrong but going by the comment section there appears to be multiple issues. Grim Fandango is supposed to come out on January 27 but the countdown timer for some is saying they won’t be able to play it until January 28. Those who have deleted Grim Fandango from their PS4 to try and re-download have been receiving a “Cannot find the application” error.

The method PlayStation Support suggests to solve any issues you may be having includes:

Return to the PS4 store and purchase the free version of the game (this SKU will only be visible to pre-order users at around 9pm PST.) Purchase the SKU only, do not re-download at this point.

Restore PS4 licenses. [Settings] > [PSN] > [Restore License]. If this doesn't solve the issue continue to step 3.

Go to Library, highlight Grim Fandango and press Options.

Delete Game Content.

While still in the Library highlight Grim Fandango and press X to re-download the content.

Restore licenses again.

Hopefully going through those steps will solve any issues you might have, if you are experiencing any problems at all. If you do happen to be having problems be sure to tell us whether those steps above were able to fix your problem or not and help out your fellow gamer.
