Cryogenicide_X Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 So I just downloaded Marvel Avengers via PS Now and it states in the description that it can be upgraded for free to the PS5 version. Only thing is you can't, all because the game is via PS Now and it's the same thing for Borderlands 3 too. There's even an article here about it, https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2021/04/ps_nows_new_games_are_ps4_only_no_ps5_upgrade_path Once again another bad desicion from Sony, I'm not surprised... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZitMeatloaf Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I actually quite enjoy my PS Now subscription and feel like I've gotten excellent value from the service, but Sony really needs to clean up all their services and offer a clear, good value to everyone. Right now they've got Plus, the Plus collection, and Now all offering overlapping games, which causes confusion and resentment from their subscribers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkirye22 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 This was ongoing in another thread somewhere and someone posted the sauce for the whole thing but the idea is that the games you get 'free' for PS4 titles - think PS+, PS Now, Play at home etc. are not upgradeable to next gen. Then again I couldn't upgrade my physical PS4 copy of SP:MM to the PS5 so... It's a weird thing - I'll try my luck on Far Cry 6 as the physical PS5 discs aren't even on sale in my country. One thing we can all agree on is that the entire next-gen wave is going wobbly from Sony' side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUDGER666 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Borderlands 3 was available for PS5 via upgrade but has now been taken away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ID_FRANCE Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 isn't it the case for the free PS+ digital version of FF7 Remake ? it should be available for disc (paied) version only, isn't it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but that is PS Plus and not PS Now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenShaka Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) Still wondering which is the public for psnow. I guess it's for people that don't purchase games, so it's fine renting those titles. Limited amount of titles, idk if it was better before. Playing with my bro online has been a nightmare. And I'm talking about a ps4 game, an Installed ps4 game. I guess i have to plat some point and click titles to enjoy the promo before ends. On topic, not surprised that the titles are not upgraded for ps5. Edited April 6, 2021 by GoldenShaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Soze Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Not surprising, its a right decision for Sony IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scemopagliaccioh Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Oh come on man, Sony is a piece of shit, but you're reaching. What did you expect? To take a 7 days trial so that you can download and keep the games forever with the ps5? Get real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaivRules Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 There are no PS5 games on PS Now. It's not like Sony ever advertised it contained PS5 games and people bought in thinking they got them. This is a normal lazy-ass SNAFU where the PS Now description is borrowed from the PS Store description and no one bothered to fire their brain cells up to think about if that's the right call. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sony has yet to announce anything on PS5 as part of the PSNow lineup. Until that announcement is formally made, there should be no expectation of cross-generation games seeing their PS5 counterparts being added to the lineup. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also had success playing some of the streamed PS3 games (Final Fight, Golden Axe, Altered Beast) online just fine. It probably varies from game to game and isn't a problem rooted in the Now service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the psnow and ps + versions are viewed the same way, ie licensed use through rental service. So the only way to get the free update is to have the paid license version (disc or digital).

GeneralBoldOne Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Lol, Sony really showing Microsoft how it's done. Avengers is probably the newest AAA game on there, it's trash tier and you need to play the inferior version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saiyanbloodstyle Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Playstation Now is a really lazy effort from Sony, that's why it isn't doing that good. I thought with the PS5 coming out it would get revamped on there but no...... They need to merge it with plus or actually make big updates to it to make people want it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm really getting annoyed by all these limited time additions. The Long Dark alone is not worth my 5$ a month. They should at least add a few permanent indies per month, like they used to.
