“Since the PS4 and PS5 copies will be separate, and the PS5 copy is a complimentary access to that platform; you should still retain access to the progress and data for PS4, ” said the support person. “In essence, it’s like having two copies: One for each platform.”
Some of the games that are confirmed to get a free upgrade to PlayStation 5 include Wach Dogs Legion, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and more.
