    Anyone know if it takes a while for the PS plus discount to be applied when a new route comes out?

    can see Harlem now out in the PS store, but it’s listed at full price

    thanks

    There were previous releases that didn't get this discount for Psplus members. The ones that did got it were available from the first minute, so presumably this DLC will not be discounted.

    That's annoying. I've only purchased routes on day one and everything since then has day a launch discount.

    I know PS Store doesn't do pre-ordering but seems unfair that Steam get the opertunity to buy early for a discount.

    If DGT don't want to discount post release then allow me to buy a download code before it's out.

    I guess I'll spend my money on missing DLC in the March sale then.

    I don't understand why they don't always do this discount on the day of departure, I admit that 10% has sometimes prompted me to buy routes I was undecided about.
    Since DTG is a fishing expert, you could say I took the bait!

    Maybe they can't do it every time they want to and it's Sony's decision, but that's something I don't know.

    Fair, guess I should stop moaning as it could be worse.

    I’ve seen a launch day discount on all DLC since TSW2 at least…. Annoyed as I’d lined up to get this and luzern next week…even mentally preparing the storage jigsaw puzzle for the PS5!

    I definitely don’t like the approach of platform exclusive launch discounts; that’s valuing everyone’s pound differently, but I won’t moan any more :)

    This is the reason I'm no longer buying this today. Why buy on PS5 until the DLC limit is fixed since you'll need to uninstall at least on more route. I'm not losing money by waiting until the fix is out.

    Then it's a lot closer to being in a sale so maybe just wait a bit longer. Sherman Hill was in a sale so quick there doesn't seem such a long wait these days.

    I think they maybe changing how they do releases, this had a pre order discount instead.

    The Pre order discount has always been applied to PC Steam platform. You cannot pre order any route or other type DLC on the Playstation (or Xbox for that matter).
