Fallout 4 is now available on next-gen consoles, but PS Plus users might be left disappointed

Fallout 4 is now available on next-gen consoles, offering 60fps gameplay and 4K resolution. But it's bad news if you claimed the game on PS Plus.

Probably won't happen for PS+ since Sony makes a clear distinction between a PS4 game and a PS5 game, unlike PC and Xbox where it is not a specific device game (It's now always an Xbox game).

So to make the PS5 game of fallout 4 available. Bethesda would need to renegotiate the complete deal with Sony.
hence why there's often only the PS4 version of the game available on PS+.

Let's hope Bethesda and Sony can arrive to term quickly.

It is happening according to Sony support.

In that same link, they talked to further support who said PS+ owners aren’t eligible. What a load of BS! The upgrade worked just fine for FF7R. I was looking forward to this. 😞

PS5 upgrades for PS4 games on PS+ are hit and miss. The reason is usually that publisher doesn’t want to hand out free upgrades. Sometimes they offer the upgrade upfront, sometimes they are bullied into it, and sometimes they offer it later in a special edition that Sony buys for PS+. It looks here like Bethesda’s intent was to raise the profile of Fallout 4 (and sell some DLC) so I expect we will see an update for PS+ versions soon.

Bethesda themselves acknowledged that Plus users are eligible. There is just some kind of glitch and they are working to fix it.

It just started working for me. It wasnt before. Just had to claim the psplus version again.

I think a hard copy should be relatively cheap at this point.

Roughly a fiver for disc. It's also £3.99 on PSN right now for both PS4 and ps5 version.

North America sale just ended. The timing for me absolutely blows.

[Phoenix76]

It's £15.99

So if I insert my ps4 disc I should get the upgrade?

[raWfodog]

Yes, I'm currently upgrading/downloading my physical GOTY edition right now.

I had PS4 installed waiting for the upgrade and there was a : Download PS5 Version" to the right of it on the game page.

[thorstein]

I think I paid $5 for it off the PS store.

[Mr Logic]

Series S + PS5 DE *confused Pikachu*

This article is funny. They tell you that $35 is a good deal for this game...We know whose side they are on.

[Kekewei]

Well ..I am downloading ps5 upgrade for ps plus version right now (psn HongKong)

[AnotherGamer]

Yeah saw it coming, hopefully the game goes on sale a lot.

What a nonsense bit of clickbait. They know nothing about if it is or isn't included (it is) ramble on instead of just getting to the point. Really quite irritating tbh.

The game is now available for PS+ users, you just need to add it again in your library
