PlayStation China Store will suspend service from 7:00 a.m. from today:

In recent times, most of the suspension or closure of the service is due to the coronavirus pandemic. However, the recent shutdown of PlayStation in China has nothing to do with the pandemic. Today, the company announced through its official Weibo website that its store will suspend services starting at 7 a.m. on May 10. Unfortunately, PlayStation China did not announce when the store will reopen. The notice says

In other news, there are reports that gamers who bought a PS4 game will have it directly on PS5 without a second purchase. PSErebus claims that games like FIFA 21, Cyberpunk 2077, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and Marvel’s Avengers Alliance will have this feature. Players who purchase the physical or digital versions of PS4 from previous games will receive a PS5 digital activation code later this year. Even if you have not yet purchased a PS5 console, you can activate the PS5 version of the game directly online. Therefore, when your PS5 console arrives, you can directly download and play the corresponding next generation version. However, we have had some information from this source That did not work out according to plan. Therefore, it is better to wrap this information with a grain of salt.

Recall that the Xbox Series X comes with a similar feature. The Xbox Smart Delivery feature on Microsoft’s Xbox Series X allows players who have purchased a game on Xbox One to unlock the next-gen version directly, with no secondary fees.
