Can I transfer games from my PS4 to my PC?

I understand I probably can't but I was wondering if I could transfer games from my PS4 to my PC?
I bought Octodad: dadliest catch on my PS4, then ended up selling my PS4 for a gaming PC.
I was wondering if I could take Octodad PS4 edition and transfer it as PC edition to my PC. I've spent a lot of time trying to find a way myself and didn't find anything... So I came to you all, hoping someone really smart can help me!

Unfortunately, you cannot.

They're two separate platforms. The only games you can redeem on Steam that you've got on console, are Portal 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive - due to the Steamworks implementation (PS3 -ver only!)

Okay, thanks for your time!

Just to add to this, it is EXTREMELY unusual for any cross-platform purchase. The easiest way to tell, if in doubt, is read the terms of sale.

Of course, PSN do a number of Vita/PS3/PS4 cross-platform purchases, and they specifically state this on the blurb on the PSN store page for each game.

So, it's best to assume no, unless you specifically read it in the game's blurb.

I thought it was worth a try!

It's cool - you don't ask, you don't find out :)

Lol, well not really (I can't take any credit for any real wisdom).

All I will say is that there are a wide a varying range of people of all ages and circumstances on Steam, so NEVER feel embarrassed or anything to just ask. Some, especially younger, players do get a bit embarrassed to ask question they think might make them sound silly.

We're a welcoming lot here on the whole, and any dissent is not tolerated, so it's as safe as you could get. :)

You took the time to find a two year old post and didn't bother to actually read it? You can't transfer games to ps4.

You cant. For a while you got a free pc copy of CSGO when you registerd your PS3 version over Steam. Thats all.
There is no CSGO for PS 4. You can buy the PS3 version on the PSN Network but thats it.
