J4MES OX4D 9,796 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 This upgrade topic came up in the FIFA 22 thread regarding PS4 to PS5 upgrades. If you intend to upgrade this game to the next gen, you will need the $100/£90 Gold Edition. There is no free upgrade and you cannot do this on the standard edition. You cannot pay the difference either. This is EA's new tactic and I expect other AAA publishers to follow suit so I don't want to see anyone getting burned by buying the base game and then not being able to upgrade and having to buy the next gen version from scratch. Battlefield 2042 Will Give You A PS4 To PS5 Upgrade If You Spend $100/£90 On The Gold Edition - PlayStation Universe WWW.PSU.COM Unlike most games, Battlefield 2042 won't offer a free PS4 to PS5 upgrade, with you instead having to pay for the Gold Edition of the game. We had a good little cup run with free upgrades lately but now with console changeovers anticipated in the coming months, companies like EA will look to milk where possible forcing people to buy premium versions at the potential of upgrading or them getting paid off twice.

Thats what matters most. No crossplay across generations - PS4 and XB1 can play together but those will be watered-down versions of the game with 64 players max. PC, PS5 and XBSX can all play together with the full 128 player experience. Current gen players cannot downgrade to play with old gen users and of course, old gen players cannot play with the latest consoles due to significant technical limitations.

Can't even buy the Gold Edition as a physical edition which is bullshit. Fucking EA are really trying to wind me up of late. techno and J4MES OX4D 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
