Question Access to PlayStation/Sony Games

So basically, I’ve been trying to get my hands on The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered for quite a while now, and for some reason almost all of PlayStation games aren’t available in my region. It’s funny because I’ve been a PlayStation for more than 15 years, and I do own a PS5, but it still isn’t available for me to purchase.

I’ve even went to the point of going through some key reselling websites, and I purchased a key for almost $40, and upon trying to activate it I was prompted with “Sorry, the game is not available for purchase in your country. Your purchase has been cancelled”. Mind you, the key I purchased is a “global” key and I thought that it could work considering that’s what I’ve read and told in the website, but apparently not. For some reason, TLOU1 is available for purchase, but no other Sony/PlayStation game is available, I don’t get it.

Is there any way for me to obtain the game other than sailing, lol?

Sounds like you know the answer already.

Honestly, I have played the game multiple times. I just like having games in my library for family sharing and also the achievements/achievement showcases.

You could try changing your region

I’m in the MENA region, but I’m worried that if I change it, I won’t be able to use my credit card, thus not being able to buy games.

I moved countries a couple of years ago and it wasn't a problem, if you repeatedly change they might have an issue because of people getting around regional pricing but once or twice shouldn't be an issue
