Update no. 1: Sony is not expected to offer an upgrade to the standard version of Horizon Forbidden West in its Digital Deluxe edition. This means, as it stands, if you buy the standard or special editions of the game on PS4 and want to get the PS5 version later, you will have to buy the game again.
We have checked with the manufacturer to see if they will have any discount upgrade options and it will be updated when we find out again.
Original article: PlayStation’s obscene nickel attenuation continues, after the port of Ghost of Tsushima, of premium price, disappointing and disappointing last month. Despite hinting last year that Horizon Forbidden West would offer one free upgrade from PS4 to PS5, Sony has announced that the “double right” will be reserved for the more expensive Digital Deluxe, Collector or Regala editions and not the standard or special editions. If that were EA, the editor would be dragged down by the dirt.
We went back to last year’s platform owner’s PS blog post, where the PS4 versions of Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, and Horizon Forbidden West were announced. Here’s what it said: “The PS4 digital versions of the release games include a free upgrade to both PS5 consoles, while the PS4 disc versions of these games include a free upgrade to the PS5 with Blu-ray drive. Ray Ultra HD “. So the language of “game release” is to get out of jail time here.
In an equally bizarre move, the expensive Collector’s Editions and Regalla come with steel boxes no disk inside! True, the manufacturer notes that a “game download code will be provided via a voucher in the box.” The entity does not understand that the market for these editions of collectibles are the same people who ask for physical versions all?
We are currently trying to find out if it will be possible to buy a “discounted” upgrade from PS4 to PS5, or if you will have to buy the whole game again if you want to change platforms at a later date. There will be at least savings transfers. Still, Sony deserves heat for it – we understand that games on the Horizon Forbidden West scale require developing obscene budgets, but other publishers with much less money than PlayStation have offered many free upgrades so far, no excuse here.
