PS5 Upgrade[]
A number of cross-generation titles released on both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 allow for the user to obtain both versions with one purchase, either by:
- purchasing the game digitally via the PlayStation Store--and will give the option to download either version if the user is on PS5
- or by purchasing the physical PS4 version, popping the disc inside a PS5 with a disc drive, then claiming the digital PS5 version as a free upgrade*
Note that the PS4 version disc must be inside the PS5's disc drive for the user to play the PS5 version if obtained through the second method. Purchasing the physical PS5 version will not grant the user the digital PS4 version.
Some titles also allow users to transfer their save files over from PS4 to PS5. Unlike Smart Delivery titles on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S which allow for the user to alternate between systems using the same save file, once the PS4 save is transferred onto the PS5, they will be unable to load the transferred save file back onto the PS4 again.
Cross-gen PS4 and PS5 titles have separate trophy lists, unlike Smart Delivery Xbox titles which have one achievement list tied to both versions. When transferring saves from PS4 to PS5, some titles autopop trophies on the PS5 version depending on progress made in the PS4 save file.
