In an interview with the Japanese edition Gamespark local representative Sony Interactive Entertainment toldthat the company will not have its own common analogue of the program Xbox Smart Delivery, however, the model of users buying one game immediately on Playstation 4 and Playstation 5 at a single price supported. Everything here will depend solely on the decision of each publisher for each release..
“We will be as flexible as possible in supporting publishers providing updates [на PS5] for previously purchased by players [на PS4] projects, ”said Sony.
In a similar way, the system will work within the framework of the Xbox Smart Delivery: Microsoft will not be able to force all publishers to provide players with the opportunity to upgrade from the Xbox One version to the Xbox Series X version for free, however, games from those manufacturers that support the initiative will be marked with a single XSD icon. To date, upcoming high-profile news such as Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Cyberpunk 2077, Scarlet Nexus and Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 have become part of the program..
Wherein Absolutely All Microsoft Xbox One Games That Will Also Be Launched On The Xbox Series X Will Support Xbox Smart Delivery. For example, the owner of a copy of Halo: Infinite for the old console will automatically receive the non-xtgen version as soon as it acquires a new console.
Sony did not specify whether it plans something similar for its games and it. The company also has not yet explained in detail how the backward compatibility system will work.
Formerly Electronic Arts refused Support the Smart Delivery program on the Xbox Series X, instead providing its own time-limited Dual Entitlement solution. As it turned out later, it will also apply to the PlayStation 5.
However, if you have a physical version of EA for the PlayStation 4 and buy a PlayStation 5 model without a disk drive, you are most likely not allowed to upgrade to the digital version. Now, in any case, the publisher has no solution to this issue.
“At present, there are no ways to upgrade from“ disk to digital edition ”for those partners who offer the next-generation diskless console,” EA said on the official website.
