Update: Sony has confirmed that the latest additions to PlayStation Now, especially Marvel’s Avengers and Borderlands 3, are only PlayStation 4 versions. There have been persistent hopes that the lack of a PS5 upgrade path could be due to an error, but this is intentional, according to the organization.
Square Enix explained that fans will be able to transfer their save from the PS4 version of Avengers Marvel to the PS5 edition, if they choose to buy the game at a later date.
Original story: Sony is great PlayStation Now The update of the week is one of the best of all time, with Avengers and Borderlands 3 Marvel, both part of the range, showcasing the company’s commitment to the subscription service. However, it is also a demonstration of how messy the manufacturer’s membership model is, despite both titles. free upgrades from PS4 to PS5, you will only be able to play the latest version.
There was some confusion about this earlier in the week, so we decided to test. Using our PS Now subscription on PS5, we were able to stream the PS4 versions of each of the titles mentioned above. You can also download games to your hard drive, but you can no more download the latest versions; if you want to “upgrade” to the PS5 edition, then you will have to actually pay for the game.
PS Now, as it is now, it is a PS4 service – there are no PS5 games included on it. However, we feel that this underscores once again the messy transition that Sony is going through. With both Avengers Marvel and Borderlands 3 offering native PS5 versions with free upgrades, many PS Now subscribers rightly assumed that they would also have access to next-generation ports. It’s not necessary.
It’s still a good upgrade for the subscription service, but it’s probably a reminder that the platform owner needs to get back to the drawing board here a bit. Despite efforts to improve the quality of PS Now – which, to be fair, were somewhat successful – it still does not feel that the company takes the service seriously. We hope that by the end of the year everything will be renewed, so such misunderstandings will cease to exist.
