It seems that you will still be able to go back and play games on your PS4 after you have updated them to the PS5 version.
Earlier today, the post just below appeared on the PS5 subreddit. The user in question asks a PlayStation support agent if he can play updated PS5 games on his PS4, to which the support agent replies that he will be able to if it is a digital game.
Confirmed: If you take advantage of the free updates from PS4 to PS5 in a digital game, you will keep access to both the PS4 version and the PS5 version of r / PS5
In other places, things get a bit murkier. While a digital game will give you access to the PS4 and PS5 versions after you’ve updated it, the PlayStation support agent isn’t sure if this will be the case with a disc-based version of a game.
With the digital version of a game, it’s like “having two versions of the game,” writes the support agent. But it is easy to see how physical games cannot be treated the same, as there is a physical disc for the game that is needed for the game to work on either platform.
It is best taken with a pinch of salt. But for now, it seems that if you plan to upgrade a digital game to a PS5 version, you will effectively own the game on two separate platforms, perfect if you plan on giving your PS4 to someone. more once the next-gen console launches next month.
Speaking of which, there is now less than a month left until the PS5 launches on November 12 in the US and November 19 in the UK and Europe. For a list of all the games that can currently be updated to run on Sony’s next-gen console, check out our PS5 update games guide.
