I recently subscribed to PlayStation Plus for a year and managed to download Mortal Kombat 11 for free. It had a PlayStation Plus symbol on it, and I thought it was an amazing deal for a AAA title. However, I never actually played it and deleted it from my installed games when I ran out of space. Now, when I go back to the store, I see a lock on the PlayStation Plus symbol, and it prompts me to pay $49.99 to re-download it. I’m confused—was this game really free, or is it locked now because I deleted it? I’m new to PlayStation Plus, and I could use some guidance on this situation.

Yeah, it was taken off PS Plus. If you didn’t download it before it left, then you’d have to buy it now. It’s a bummer, but the game was never really free in the sense that you could keep it forever. You had access to it as long as it was part of your subscription.
I totally feel you! It’s tough discovering that you don’t keep those extra games forever. They rotate often, and if you delete them while they’re gone, you miss out. Just to clarify, you didn’t just lose MK11; it’s gone from the service for everyone now. You could try checking the PlayStation Plus games frequently to catch them before they disappear next time!
It sounds like MK11 was recently removed from the PlayStation Plus catalog. If you see a lock icon on it now, that basically means it’s no longer available for subscription members. Just a heads-up, these games can cycle in and out, so once they’re gone, you can’t get them back for free unless they return. Sorry that happened to you!
