Sony is big PlayStation Nou update this week is one of the best in a long time, with Marvel’s Avengers and Borderlands 3 both part of the series, showcasing the company’s commitment to the subscription service. However, it’s also a demonstration of how messy the manufacturer’s membership model is, despite both titles. free PS4 to PS5 upgrades, you will only be able to play the latest generation version.
There was confusion about this earlier this week, so we decided to test it out. With our PS Now subscription on PS5, we were able to stream the PS4 versions of each of the above titles. You can also download the games to your hard drive, but it may only download the latest generation of versions; if you want to upgrade to the PS5 version, you have to pay for the game effectively.
PS Now, as it is now, is a PS4 service – there are no PS5 games included. However, we feel that this once again underscores the downfall of Sony’s console. Since Marvel’s Avengers and Borderlands 3 offer native PS5 versions with free upgrades, many PS Now subscribers rightly assumed that they would also have access to next-generation ports. This is not the case.
This is still a good update for the subscriber service, but it might be a reminder that the platform holder needs to return to the drawing board a bit here. Despite efforts to improve the quality of PS Now – which, to be honest, was somewhat successful – it still does not feel like the company is taking the service seriously. Hopefully, by the end of the year, the organization will have revamped everything so that misunderstandings like these will cease to exist.
