Before you could download licenses for everything you owned even without the game being installed. Now you must install a game first before you can get a license for it. This will have major implications for jail breaking.

    Is this an actual edge case?:

    Someone whose hard drive is full and buys a bunch of new games and wants to go play PS5 at a cabin in the woods

      But you’d still need to download the games onto the ps5 in the cabin in the woods, assuming this doesn’t apply to games on disc.

      Well, they would get unpatched games which won’t be playable anyway 😀

      But no, this only happens for downloaded game, and even then it’s generally for games you have downloaded as part of subscription. If you stay offline for long period of times (don’t know exact time these days, but I think it’s at least more than a month), then PS needs to recheck if you still have the subscription, or if the game is still present in subscription.
