Pirelli913 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 As the title implies, if you buy Cyberpunk 2077 on PS4 (digital or physical) you can upgrade to PS5 free of charge. Is there a time frame to acquire the upgrade? Like is it a one year warranty, meaning you have to buy a PS5 within a year to get the upgrade? Or is there no time frame and you can buy a PS5 in 5+ years and still claim the free upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh4d0wzcs Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 At least until 2077. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue sticker says "PS5 upgrade available" This is how it works for all physical PS4 games with upgrades on PS5 except cod. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOWEVER, the upgrade on PS5 is digital, meaning you can't send in for a voucher and have them ship you a PS5 disc version. PS4 digital = PS5 digital upgrade PS4 disc = PS5 digital upgrade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference is you have to have the disc inserted to play the PS5 version. It's basically like buying the PS5 version physically in that regard. Only you get PS4 too.

IDiivil Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 There's no expiration date. Based on that, we know that these upgrades will work until they stop working. That doesn't mean the function will be available for all eternity (likely the PS5 service won't be available literally forever either). Hopefully that answers the question.

Sicho Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 There isn't even a release date for the PS5 version yet so how could they define an expiry date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need to keep the PS4 disc inserted when you play the PS5 version. The disc will essentially act as your license key for the game.

kaptainmyke Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I never saw anywhere I could upgrade to PS5 version. I have the disc version and have been playing it as a ps4 game on my PS5 right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaivRules Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 It's highly unlikely there is any expiration date for the PS4 to PS5 upgrades on any of the games that offer it. There is no expiration date printed on any of the offers yet and as far as the PSN store is concerned, having the disc license by inserting the disc or the digital license by purchasing the digital will just be tied to the PS5 version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpfield Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 There probably will come a point where they stop offering the free upgrade but for games that was already announced will probably keep the free upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sicho Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 these Next-Gen Upgrades already existed on Cross-Gen titles in the Last-Gen. AFAIK you can still upgrade certain PS3 games to their PS4 counterpart nowadays. So you probably don't need to be afraid of this offer expiring anytime soon. BTW they are also working on a Next-Gen Upgrade for Witcher 3 and afaik this will also be free for owners of the PS4 versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThalifmUS Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 For example, if I am mid game on PS4, get the PS5 upgrade, will the trophy list carry as well? Will I have 2 trophy lists for PS4 and for PS5? if so, when I pop a trophy on the PS5 list will that pop on the PS4 as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they will support save transfer than yes, your trophies will probably auto-pop. But if they won't do that, than we will have to play from the beginning.

LastMinuteSavior Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I sure hope they keep honoring this upgrade deal. With all this last gen version backlash the game's price might just drop before or around the time they release the PS5 version. Would increase the odds of my broke ass playing this sooner rather than later. One way or the other, I hope the CDPR execs are happy with their year-end bonus checks, 'cause their revenue on console is bound take a hit after their little stunt.
