If you been making an attempt to play the recently released PlayStation 4 Exclusive horror game, Until Dawn, since its release yesterday, you might have been faced with a terror greater than anything in the game — error codes. According to PlayStation forum users, error code '128 Days' has been haunting those that pre-purchased a digital copy of the game.
It seems as though PlayStation Support has a workaround for the issue and it seems to have worked, at least for some users. So, here's what to do (according to Sony):
- Navigate to the item on the PlayStation Store
- Purchase the free version of Until Dawn (or if you have that already, another free game/item such as Singstar)
- Download the file to your system (if the file is already downloaded and installed, please skip this step and move to step 4)
- Use the Restore Licenses option by navigating to Settings >> PlayStation(tm)Network/Account Management >> Restore Licenses
- Attempt to boot the game. If the game still does not boot at this point, delete the file, re-download and repeat step 4.
If this doesn't work, know that Sony is actively looking for a fix. You can consider it part of the game's horror show. It's building your frustration and anxiety… or you can attempt to be reimbursed for your purchase.
Good luck!
