Today, the role-playing game of Spiders developers company Greedfall will find its way onto the new generation of consoles and offer buyers of the PS4 version the opportunity to upgrade their copy to the PS5 version free of charge. But does this also apply to those who have secured Greedfall via PS Plus?
Greedfall PS Plus version not eligible for a free upgrade to PS5
The players who have already bought Greedfall for PlayStation 4 can look forward to the opportunity to upgrade their copy to the PlayStation 5 version free of charge. However, according to the Spiders developers, if you have received Greedfall from the PS Plus service, you will not be eligible for the free upgrade.
So, here you have no choice but to purchase the PlayStation 4 version of Greedfall in order to subject it to a free upgrade, or to grab the PlayStation 5 version that will be released today. Interestingly, this restriction only applies to the PlayStation Plus version of Greedfall.
The free version obtained by the PS+ subscription is not eligible for the free upgrade to the PS5 version
