Tsw2 Dlc Free Try? (ps4)

So this is a bit of a weird one tbh. A friend of mine who has tsw2 and has not upgraded to tsw3 has recently started his game since a while and, to his amusement, saw that he now owns HRR and Peninsula Corridor (which he has never purchased)

Is this a new strategy to hook some players to the game or is this another symptom of the mess with DLC on PS Store ?

 

I think it's unintended action, occured probably after the Add-on Manager patch installation, right?

 

Same here. I'm on TSW2 on PS4 and got HRR and Pen Corridor free. I have no interest in either however so don't feel like I've gained anything, haha.

 

I got Peninsula Corridor with PS4 Patch 1.90 - the Addons Manager. For free, yeah. HRR not, but possibly because I had it already.
It just snuck in unnoticed. There was no PS4 notification (only "Patch 1.90 installed"). It doesn´t appear on the library manager either as "purchased" nor "installed". In other words: It doesn´t exist and jailed as the PS4 is, you can´t even get rid of it or install additional SFJ DLCs on top. But it´s perfectly playable.
I´d call this a bloody mess, but on the other hand I´m not even sure where it has its origins. DTG or Sony?

 

I hope it doesn't get fixed and gives us the option to also play these routes in TSW3

 

On a related note, when there was the transition from TSW2020 to TSW2 PS players got the TSW2020 base routes for free because of the PlayStation Store weirdness that meant licenses couldn't transfer correctly. I didn't own LIRR at that time so I got it for free.
