Unlike 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft, Sony’s approach to cross-generation upgrades is not catch-all. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Smart Delivery means that all Xbox Game Studios games will only need to be purchased once to be played on both the Xbox One and Series X and Series S. By contrast, Sony is letting its third-party publishe𒁃rs decide whether they’ll be offering an upgrade program.

Plenty of studios have already announced their intention to allow players to upgrade for free; Destiny 2, Marvel’s Avengers, and Cyberpunk 2077 will all be free on PS5 if you own the PS4 version. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:CD Projekt Red has even taken the additional step of granting free PS5 and Xbox Serie𝓰s X versions of The Witcher 3: Wi♐ld Hunt to cur𓆉rent owners. Elsewhere, companies like EA and 🧸Ubisoft have outlined plans for upgrading long-term series and service games like Rainbow Six Siege.

There’s no word on Sony’s approach to its first-party titles, but the company is yet to announce a💛ny of its own cross-gen games.

Going forward, it looks like this new branding will be your best way of determining whether or not your PS4 games will be able to take advantage of the visual improvements and de🎃creased loading times that the PS5 is set to offer. For the next year or so, expect to see this branding showing up on a whole bunch of PlayStation titles.

Here are all the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming PS5 games and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:PS5 upgrade games confirmed so far.
