How to top up PlayStation Store from Russia in 2026: PSN cards and P2D card
Updated
PlayStation Store buys games, add-ons and a PS Plus subscription. You can top up your PSN wallet in two P2D ways: with a top-up card from the “Top-up of services” catalog or the P2D virtual card “Purchases and subscriptions”. Top-up cards are available for 14 countries - select the country of your account.
Top-up of PlayStation Store with code from the P2D catalog
The PlayStation recharge card credits money to your PSN account wallet. It is purchased from the P2D “Top-up of Services” catalog and paid for from the P2D balance - no need to give access to the account to anyone.
The code only works in the account of the country for which the card was issued: a US card for an American account, a UK card for a British account. The account region is visible in the PSN settings.

Why a Russian card is declined
PlayStation Store does not accept cards from Russian banks. Since 2022, Visa and Mastercard cards from Russian banks do not work abroad, and Mir PlayStation Store does not accept them, so the payment is rejected.
Top-up cards from the P2D catalog and the P2D dollar card do not depend on Russian banks, therefore they are suitable for payment in PlayStation Store.
Paying for PlayStation Store with a P2D card
For PlayStation Store use the P2D virtual card “Purchases and subscriptions”. You complete the purchase yourself in your account - you don’t need to give your password to anyone.
A month of PS Plus Essential costs $10.99: after debiting and a fee of $0.75, $13.26 will remain on the card. For the Essential year, top up the card to a minimum of $80.74, for the Premium year - up to $160.74.
If PlayStation Store rejects the card, use a top-up card from the P2D catalog - it works regardless of the payment method. Top-up of P2D card via SBP with no fee.
