PlayStation Store just released a new PS5 game? This week, PlayStation fans noticed that the PlayStation Store displays a popular PS4 game as having a PS5 version. The thing is, Sony has not announced a next-generation port for this PS4 game, suggesting that the PlayStation Store has just spilled some super-secret, very sensitive beans. However, it is also possible that this is nothing more than a visual bug.
On Twitter, a PS5 player revealed that the PlayStation Store has a PS5 version Transmitted by blood listed, however, when you click this list, nothing happens, suggesting that the listing is an error. As you would expect, the post, which was accompanied by a video, quickly made the rounds, as PlayStation fans went crazy with speculation.
That being said, while the surface level seems to be a complete leak, other PlayStation users quickly pointed out that this can only be a type of UI error, as PlayStation Store incorrectly listed other PS5 versions. games of the past.

For now, it’s hard to know what should and shouldn’t be done about it. It looks like this could be the latest victim of a recurring bug, but it’s hard to ignore the fact that a PS5 version of Transmitted by blood was also strongly rumored.
At the time of publication, Sony Interactive Entertainment did not comment on the image and video above, nor its implications. At this point, it doesn’t look like this will change, especially once you consider Sony’s history of not commenting on leaks and potential leaks. In the meantime, make sure you take all this with a grain of salt.
Transmitted by blood it’s not the only popular Sony first-party game locked on the PS4. Sony has not released state-of-the-art versions of many such PS4 exclusives Uncharted 4: An End of Thief and Until dawn.
