How To Upgrade Your PS4 Games To PS5
<p>Sony and some third-party developers are offering free upgrades from the PS4 to <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/playstation-5-price-specs-launch-games-release-date-and-everything-else-you-need-to-know/1100-6466357/">PS5</a> versions of games, but without a snazzy branded feature like Xbox's <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-series-x-smart-delivery-games-features-detail/1100-6478490/">Smart Delivery</a>. It hasn't been entirely clear how players will be able to claim these upgrades, but Sony addressed it with detailed instructions in advance of the console launch next month. It won't be quite as simple as it is on the Xbox systems, but you shouldn't have too much trouble getting the correct version of your game on the PS5.</p><p>The instructions, part of a <a href="https://support.playstation.com/s/article/upgrade-ps4-games?language=en_US">PS5 support page</a>, come in two varieties based on whether you're upgrading a disc or digital game. To upgrade a disc game you'll need the higher-priced PS5 that includes a disc drive, for obvious reasons. Digital games can be upgraded on either version of PS5.</p><p>The instructions look fairly straightforward. For a disc version, just make sure you're signed in on your PS5 console, insert the game disc, and then select to upgrade on the game hub. That will download the PS5 version, which will be associated with that game disc. From then on you can play the PS5 version as long as the PS4 disc is in the drive. For a digital game, just find the game in the PlayStation Store or game hub and select upgrade. If you don't do this, you'll get the PS4 version.</p><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-to-upgrade-your-ps4-games-to-ps5/1100-6483122/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/">Continue Reading at GameSpot</a>
