PS4 game discs can’t be used with the PlayStation®5 Digital Edition.
HORIZON ZERO DAWN HANDLING UPGRADE
*To upgrade an eligible PS4 game on disc to the digital PS5 version, you will need a PS5 console with a disc drive.
Jim Ryan, President & CEO, Sony Interactive Entertainment This will apply to the next God of War and Gran Turismo 7, and any other exclusive cross-gen PS4 & PS5 title published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. I also want to confirm today that moving forward, PlayStation first-party exclusive cross-gen titles (newly releasing on PS4 & PS5)–both digital and physical*–will offer a $10 USD digital upgrade option from PS4 to PS5.
While the pandemic’s profound impact pushed Forbidden West out of the launch window we initially envisioned, we will stand by our offer: Players who purchase Horizon Forbidden West on PlayStation 4 will be able to upgrade to the PlayStation 5 version for free. Last year we made a commitment to deliver free upgrades for our cross-gen launch titles, which included Horizon Forbidden West. However, it’s abundantly clear that the offerings we confirmed in our pre-order kickoff missed the mark. Thursday was to be a celebration of Horizon Forbidden West and the amazing team at Guerrilla working to deliver it on February 18, 2022.
