The last PS4 update crashed my drive. I am concerned about restoring from the cloud if all the PC2 DLC is no longer available.

I bought pretty much everything they offered, with the exception of the launch date DLC, as I waited about a year after launch to buy it.

So, what’s the situation if I have to restore? I have a physical disk of the game, so no problem there, but I would REALLY like all the DLC back, as that is most of my favorite content, especially the classic tracks and cars. with the game being de-listed, is the DLC still able to be restored from my PlayStation account?

Would giving my crashed drive to a data recovery expert do any good? I am thinking of buying an SSD to replace the drive anyway. Does anyone have any experience recovering game data from drives that no longer boot but the data is still on it somewhere…?
 
You can definitely send it to someone to repair the data, some people do really good job (there was a guy on youtube short but I lost his link sadly). Might be this channel but not sure : https://www.youtube.com/@MDrepairsLLC/shorts

But as you already downloaded normally you should be able to get them again but I'm not a 100% sure. I am however sure that you could try to get your data recovered, it's not a 100% sure but there's a big chance it's something else than the storage chip that burned.

ATM they are all available tho, it's only pcars 3 that are delisted.

At worst, there are other way to play ps4 games that you bought but arent available anymore, but we arent allowed to talk about that on this site.

You'll be fine, it should be in your owned/download library so just buy a new ssd if you need one & just download all the dlc after you've reinstalled everything.
 
Good to hear. I can’t tell you how many hours I have spent driving the vintage Lemans track in the period cars!

The new game has some very big boots to fill, content wise. To be perfectly honest, project cars two has basically got everything I would ever want!
