DLC on PS3/PS4

[Plumbers Crack 4,059]

This is primarily for Ghosts but also BF4

I run the PS4 along side the PS3 and have bought the upgrade for both games. Both games run on either machine as long as the relevant disc is in the drive.

My question is.... if I buy a season pass will I be able to install the DLC on both machines? I know for a limited time you can transfer from 3 to 4 but I eant to be able to play all maps on both consoles.

I've looked around the interwebz but can't see anything but I could be phrasing the question wrong

Can anyone help?

I would imagine If it's connected to your PSN you should be able to. hmm..

HOW YOUR CALL OF DUTY GHOSTS DLC UPGRADE WORKS (OR DOESN'T) Posted by OneofSwords in One of Swords on Jan 29, 2014 2:56:00 PM

Call of Duty has posted a new blog entry that covers not only some of the highlights of the latest patch notes, but also digs into some detail regarding how DLC and Season Pass content works this year. This information was already announced last year, but now that we're at the point of purchase for a lot of people, it's important to restate, and I'm glad they did. Quoting directly:

 

If you are a Call of Duty: Ghosts DLC Season Pass holder, then your Onslaught DLC Pack will carry over from Xbox 360 to Xbox One. However, if you are not a Call of Duty Ghosts DLC Season Pass holder and purchase the Onslaught DLC Pack individually, it will not carry over from Xbox 360 to Xbox One. Currently, Microsoft only supports DLC transfer between Xbox 360 and Xbox One if you are a Season Pass holder. The Call of Duty: Ghosts Onslaught DLC Pack will carry over from PlayStation®3 to PlayStation®4 whether you purchase it individually or get it as part of the Call of Duty: Ghosts DLC Season Pass.

So, just to be super clear, because I do not want people regretting their choices:

 

• Season Pass on Xbox 360 WILL carry forward to Xbox One, if you get it on your Xbox 360 before the end of May.
• Season Pass on PS3 WILL carry forward to PS4, if you get it on your PS3 before the end of May.
• Season Pass on Xbox One WILL NOT carry back to Xbox 360. The offer is only valid for people moving from the previous system to the latest system.
• Season Pass on PS4 MIGHT? carry back to PS3. UPDATE: I am being told by fans that Sony offering one Season Pass on both PS3 and PS4. I have no reason to doubt them, but I was not expecting this offer. Nice deal -- we'll find out for sure when the content actually goes live.
• Individually purchased DLC packs WILL NOT transfer between systems. If you buy Onslaught on Xbox 360 "a la carte," you do not also own it on Xbox One, or vice versa. (Again, we'll see what happens at the Sony DLC release to see if their rules are different.)
• Season Pass WILL NOT upgrade across/between platforms by different manufacturers (i.e. Xbox 360 to PS4).

 

I want your Ghosts DLC experience to be happy and regret-free, so that's why I added bold type and festive colors. Now that you have the knowledge, please spread it around and prevent your friends from making expensive mistakes!

Thanks for that James - anybody know if it's the same for BF4?

Thanks James it did in a way!

 

I think I'll get the Ghosts season pass on PS3 so I can carry it over to the PS4 then, if I can swing it with the Treasurer, get the BF4 pass, install it on the PS4. If it doesn't work backwards on tthe PS3 then no biggie as I don't play BF4 on that console

 

It seems to be PS3 = Ghosts and PS4 = BF4 mainly due to who is playing what. Sean flying a helicopter is a laugh a minute!
