BestUsername---- Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 If you can get the PS5 version at no extra cost when buying the PS4 version, and vice versa, is there any point (in terms of content) of spending the extra 10 dollars?

Pyramat Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) The only real benefit is that you won't have to download the PS5 version with a PS5 disc, especially if you have crappy internet. Otherwise yeah you're better off saving $10 and getting both versions (and twice the trophies!). Edited February 20, 2022 by Pyramat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDGES Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 no, ps4 version is cheaper and gives you the ps5 version 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestUsername---- Posted February 20, 2022 Author Share Posted February 20, 2022 Sorry, guys I don't mean the graphics or playability. I'm sure the game runs smoothly and looks beautiful on the more power console. I just mean in terms of pricing and content. The PS5 version is $10 more than just buying the PS4 version, though both versions are entitled to both versions of the game. Does the extra $10 dollars PS5 version of the product have extra content? Or is is just another way to support the developers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowstorm127 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Double check the description on the playstation store first that you actually do get a free upgrade, the standard ps4 version doesn't come with the free upgrade only the more expensive version gives you a ps5 upgrade according to this article so have a good look first just incase https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/lawyer-lambasts-sony-for-deceptive-marketing-of-horizons-free-ps5-upgrade/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The extra $10 is just because Sony wants to set a precedent of $70 USD for first-party games on PS5. You're not missing anything by buying the PS4 version and upgrading to the PS5 version for free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could autopop from ps5 to ps4 i would save the 10 pound but i dont want to plat it on the weaker version to autopop the ps5 version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowstorm127 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Yeah only thing I can see different with the extra 10 is resource packs, outfits and digital artwork stuff but I can only see the ps5 store so don't know if there's different options on ps4 like the article is saying but seems it's a free upgrade either way just depends if you want the extra items for 10. Always worth double checking everything anyway to make sure you're getting what you think, no nasty surprises down the road when you want to upgrade then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestUsername---- Posted February 20, 2022 Author Share Posted February 20, 2022 Yeah, I don't really care about auto-popping trophies as I'm not really one to play games on "weaker" hardware to deprive myself of a graphical upgrades and faster load times among other things. I'm sure I can find the artworks online and resource packs don't interest me, so I guess I'll buy the $60 version. Thanks everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WereyCar Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Unless you want it for sentimental reasons, there's never a reason to buy the PS5 version first, unless the game doesn't offer a free/paid upgrade option. Two copies of the same game, you may have to download one but you're still using the disc to access it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Alchemist Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Unless you specifically want the PS5 case on your shelf, then there isn't much of a point. Save yourself the few quid and go with the PS4 version. For me personally, I always go with the PS5 version for this very reason, but everyone has to do what's right for them. $10/€10 might not be a big deal to some, while it could mean a lot to others. Get whatever version you prefer and have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infected Elite Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 PS5 case on the shelf. But if you want dbl plat, you'd have to play pa4 version first i think. To autopop if there is any. Otherwise ya, i have digital copy of ps5 and ps4. Playing ps5. As well as physical copy of ps5 for shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FocusDR Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) In my opinion no. I’ve only bought maybe 5 PS5 games, I’ve just used the free upgrade and that way I play the game again a few months later and get the trophies again (if I enjoyed the game) I paid £41 for a pre order for PS4 Forbidden West instead of £69 for the PS5 version.

Vault-TecPhantom Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I bought the PS5 digital version and have no regrets. Happy to pay the extra tenner if it means I don't have to delete the PS4 from the app every time I boot the game up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
