Original Story:
Journey is out for PlayStation 4 today, and if you own the PlayStation 3 version, you will get the PlayStation 4 version for free, but it's not working right now.
Attempting to download the game, myself, I was greeted with the image below which said I couldn't buy it because I already owned it, but it offered no download link either on the PlayStation Store via a web browser, mobile phone, or on my PlayStation 4.
Well, that's confusing. I'm trying to download Journey on PlayStation 4. pic.twitter.com/QEhUytJssi

Developer Thatgamecompany, who developed the game, but did not handle the port (Tricky Pixels worked on the port), says a fix is coming – you just have to wait.
#JourneyPS4 Cross-Buy Availability:
Please wait for Sony's servers to propagate. It'll be available to all who are eligible shortly.
