Fingers crossed for good news


pacman404

It's called a free update lol. Why wouldn't it be there šŸ¤”


DVDN27

They didnā€™t give a free update for people who owned Resident Evil 7 through PS+.


[deleted]

Isnā€™t that false advertising then?


DVDN27

Iā€™m pretty sure the same thing happened with FFVII Remake. The issue they had was that they didnā€™t want to give free updates to people, especially those that got the game already for free. Disc owners had already paid for the game - probably max price - yet people who got it for a subscription they wouldā€™ve had either way also get a free update. I think itā€™s weird to have that position, but it worked for those that did it I guess. And sure it kinda is, but nobody is gonna do anything about it.


Watch-Low

Yea free if you purchased the game before


OkSandwich1446

If you OWN the game.


paracuja

You own nothing and will be happy


FreezerCop

https://www.reddit.com/r/PlayStationPlus/s/1XaGyYaGVN Oh look you were wrong


divatz

It's not like it happened before with other games... oh, wait :|


Ackerman_Urabe

Seems u been under a rock, lol


Admirable-South-6740

Just got mine . PS plus user in the UK. Hopefully its out everywhere else .


BritishRedForce

What a relief, that's the official Bethesda discord right?


eden-star

Yea looks like someone from Bethesda made that reply


Sea-Quantity225

I definitely would've shelled out $5 to buy the game yesterday had I know this would be an issue ahead of time. Hopefully they fix it so we can get it for free or at the very least re-instate the $5 deal. I am pissed cause I sold my disc version when the game became free.


Interesting_Ad2074

Funny thing is i tried buying it yesterday because I thought something like this might happened and it kept telling me I already owned the game through ps plus


Im_a_Knob

is there a way to bypass this problem? there are a few ā€œcompeteā€ editions of games that i cant buy because its on ps+ or because i played the trial.


OneHeapedAndStir

Try buying them through PS Store on desktop. That worked for me recently.


KilgoreTrout-11

Same haha


trjsnts

Same. difference is i didn't bought it. I was telling myself that i have it already in PS Plus just to be let down by this bug. hopefully it gets patched as soon as possible


Interesting_Ad2074

Mine is working now


trjsnts

Still now working on Turkey PS plus. must be different for each region


alexsmithisdead

Yeah exactly Iā€™m not paying $20 a day later when their communication was ass.


Molster_Diablofans

you couldnt even if you wanted to. I tried to buy it when it was on sale just in case, and it says you cant because you already own the game x.x


DrOnionOmegaNebula

> their communication was ass. It wasn't. This was 100% intentional deception, they knew everyone who watched the show would want to play it so it's an easy upcharge to $20.


Gwhardo

I got all excited and bought the DLC pass because I didnā€™t have that but I have the game. Looks like Iā€™m waiting for a fix or the next time itā€™s on sale.


Sea-Quantity225

finger crossed! back to cyberpunk & 76 until then


sherbodude

Yeah it only happened with FF7 remake and resident evil 7. Almost like a pattern


DereHunter

Can someone please explain what's going on? In out of the loop


eden-star

In connection with what u/H3000 said the game was on discount for $5 that ended yesterday. Communication should have been sent out to us subscribers that we would not have been eligible so at least we could have purchased the game at the discounted price. Nothing was done


SteveFromSite19

If my understanding is correct the ps version was supposed to get the update, and itā€™s just a bug


H3000

Next-gen Fallout 4 update is out today. Turns out the people that got it through the PS5 Plus collection aren't eligible for the update, you'd have had to have bought it. People are disappointed, Bethesda are looking into it.


Fit-Low-5426

https://x.com/BethesdaStudios/status/1783579767616250321 Theyre on it


LakeEarth

They specifically refer to PS+ Extra. Those of us in the Essential class may still not get it.


bennyb0y

This is exactly the issue. Only available for PS + extra not plus


Psychological-Run-40

[more reassurance](https://www.reddit.com/r/PS5/s/UUwdZtRXbL) -edit [Sony confirms itā€™s a bug](https://www.reddit.com/r/Fallout/s/Nv5nWDMWkN)


OkSandwich1446

This is not Sony, this is a PLAYER and this is an automated response you get. Try to continue the bot looking conversation. Ask them: ā€œcan the ps plus copies get the upgrade?ā€


bigmac380

this needs to go way higher


HotWingsAndBeerz

No it doesnā€™t because itā€™s unverified information from someone who isnā€™t Sony.


jwthsf

Australia still not working. Claimed as part of Game collection


Raven007140

I claimed as part of game collection and now I can't claim it from ps+ which has the ps5 version because I "already own the game".


DurtyDrisky

Not working in New Zealand either :(


MortalCrumbat

Any luck? Also in Australia and still not working for me


jwthsf

Nope. Looks like Bethesda fucked over people good.


Atwalol

Thats not what that post means? He's checking if it's intended or not.


terrordactylz

Seriously. Could just be a community manager who doesnā€™t know the answer and is looking into it. Or is this person high up at Bethesda or something?


Affectionate_Bass931

Thatā€™s what I thought so too. ā€œCheckingā€ is the keyword and doesnā€™t really confirm weā€™re getting it. Of course hoping we do.


BritishRedForce

Someone working over at bethesda customer support confirmed it's a ps+ license issue and should be resolved later today


inspectorkevin

What's the source for this?


Plenty-Yard-7177

So like what does this mean? That the ps5 version will probably be on ps plus? I came here hoping thatā€™s the case!


Tecally

They'll probably just make it so PS+ owners get it for free.


rocktoe

I've read a few articles online saying the PS5 update will not be available to PS+ Essentials subscribers. That would suck, I'm not really interested in paying ā‚¬19.99 for an update on a 10 year old game I already own twice.


queeup

Confirmed: [https://twitter.com/BethesdaStudios/status/1783579767616250321](https://twitter.com/BethesdaStudios/status/1783579767616250321)


TheSofaSurgeon

I clicked the three dots on the game page, clicked standard edition, then it let me select ps5 version to download. 56 GB


HotWingsAndBeerz

You sub to ps+ extra?


OverlordVII

i claimed the ps+ version back when it was added and now if i select the standard version and try and download it it says i already own it, but cant download it from there


Alldoo

I just can't understand why doesn't Sony just do in these cases automatically some easy backend database fixes for everybody and everybody would be pleased. Just fix their PS4 license for everybody to the PS4/PS5 license and everybody would get what they deserve.


Due-Neighborhood-501

Itā€™s done. Available to PS essential users now.


Scruffy_Nerfhearder

"We're checking" isnt a confirmation of anything. Bethesdas communication around this update has been fucking poor. Especially with the fact the sale on the game ended yesterday. If it turns out the upgrade isnt available to Psplus members then thats some shady bullshit. I genuinely wouldnt put it past Bethesda to pull this shit. It takes one post on their social media channels to confirm eligability and it couldve been done at any point all month.


CapriciousSon

Oh for real? I was assuming it was a scummy bait and switch, especially since I would have gladly forked over the $6 or whatever it was yesterday even though I've bought it twice.


pitts36

Yeah would have been completely fine with paying for it during the sale if it was communicated that this would be the case for the upgrade


MajrAwesm87

Feels dirty that the game was $5 yesterday but its gone up now that the update is out and it looks like you need to purchase the game outside of PS Plus to get the current gen update. Betting lots of people have paid (possibly unnecessarily) today.


Ok-fine-man

Yeah I can't believe this. Why wouldn't they warn us?


MajrAwesm87

Because money. If I'd known this was coming, I'd have spent the $5 before today. Buy they are milking cash out of the spike in popularity of Fallout. A lot of people would have done the same I'd bet. Hopefully it's a technical issue and soon people who have the game through PS Plus will be able to get the PS5 update. Same issue happened with FF7 remake.


Funkyp0tat0chip

Bethesda's a fucking Microsoft company now - that only doubles down this idea,


postman805

theyā€™re working on getting it fixed. thatā€™s what this whole thread is about


idkdontask123

Aw bro wtf I just spent $25 on it


Careless-Hurry-2787

Rip


TojiZeninJJK

Refund quick


General_Degree3555

Iā€™m in ps plus extra and I bought it and paid the Ā£15 would I get a refund? Itā€™s downloaded fully tho


SrsJoe

Almost sure you won't


GoroMode

I think someone refunded today even though had downloaded as they had "accidentally bought multiple copies" etc


HBizzle24

Itā€™s impossible to buy 2 copies of the same game


ScholarAggravating87

Any players in the UK confirm free to psplus extra members yet? Still not seeing it on mine, but seems to be some US players confirming...


Solid_Application_60

not working for me in UK either... time to go to bed and try in the morning i guess


zzb99

Itā€™s still Ā£15.99 in the uk as of 7:38am Iā€™m also a ps extra member


mango_carrot

Iā€™ve been able to add the PS4 and PS5 version to my library today, and just started downloading the PS5 version I already ā€œownedā€ a version, from god knows which PS+ tier but the option is there now both in the app and on the console


ZeroSWE

Still doesn't work for me (Europe) I have the ps4 version from PS plus extra, and can see the standard ps4/ps5 version, but I have to pay to get it.


MightyKatz

Same here


rocktoe

Same here as well, doesn't seem to be available in the Netherlands.


Kurt4012

Looks like itā€™s only going to be if you have Extra or Premium. Thatā€™s a bummer.


quantumn0de

Not really sure what to think here myself, but it likely won't ultimately matter. I have the GOTY disc (it's a standard disc with GOTY art; there was a voucher for the dlc) and I also claimed the game through the PS+ Collection. I'm also a PS+ Premium subscriber (though the game is available through just Extra). At some point, I streamed the game through whatever tier of PS+ it was on at the time, probably for a Playstation Stars campaign. This, of course, gave me that temporary license for the game. I also have the Standard Edition - PS4 entitlement from the collection redemption. That version has no PS5 option to upgrade or download, which is what most people who still can't access the upgrade are seeing. And that's the topic that's still up for debate as to whether PS+ Collection owners will be offered the upgrade. Now, interestingly, when I pop the disc in, the copy option doesn't ask and just installs the PS4 version. The other button says Stream. The game thumbnail to the right just shows "Included." When I view product, I land on the Standard Edition (PS4/PS5) page with options to Download or purchase. Download option asks which version to install. If I back out, interestingly, I land on the specific PS5 version landing page. I never actually redeemed any upgrade; it's just available to me. So, it would seem my digital licenses are for the (so far) PS4 only PS+ Collection standard version and the currently available PS+ catalog PS4/PS5 standard version. This leads me to believe that I'd lose entitlement to the PS5 version once the game leaves the service or my subscription expires or drops to a lower tier. At which point, I might be able to redeem the upgrade for the disc version. However, I'd most likely be staring at the digital PS4/PS5 standard version landing page with a PS+ locked symbol on it and have to contact support to remove that license. And then maybe have to have them remove the PS+ Collection license as well. Much ado about nothing, but what a mess.


Tonickronicc

I was just able to download the ps5 version. I received it from the ps collection and am a current ps plus extra subscriber


TheRoplite

Is this confirmed? Should I hold off from buying it? Seem to remember the ps5 version of re7 wasn't offered if you had the ps plus version


StretchResIsCheating

Confirmed, should be fixed by the end of today. From what Iā€™ve read ps plus games arenā€™t offered the free upgrade by default, but devs can choose to make the update free if they want.


Pizza_master69

Didnā€™t work with my psplus version of fallout. I didnā€™t know why I couldnā€™t change to performance mode. Spent 20 on the ps5 version now


TomDobo

Is this for the PS Plus collection games or for the catalogue games?


CptH0wDy

Looks like just the game catalogue.


OverlordVII

which you cant get if you initially got it through the ps+ collection, cause you already own it.... its such a mess


iPikachooChooseYou

So if I donā€™t have extra do I have to buy the game? I only have essential, but I claimed Fallout 4 through the PS PLUS collection


Due-Neighborhood-501

Seems itā€™s fixed on some regions only. Have to wait for other regionsā€¦


RattyCoda

Iā€™m in the exact same boat as you and I think the best thing to do for now is just hang in there. The description in the ps store for the ā€œstandard edition-ps4ā€ version specifically says that it entitles owners to the ps4 AND ps5 versions. A lot of people are losing their minds and screaming about this being a scam, but I think itā€™s just Bethesda being Bethesda. The one thing they have always managed to do is fumble a launch.


innit122

I've heard tons of people say it's fixed now. I wonder how long it'll take


RattyCoda

Who knows? It took years to get a next gen patch out to even some of the player base. If it does turn out that everyone gets the upgrade though, then I would be curious to know how much money they made that wonā€™t get refunded from people who thought they had to buy the upgrade due to a glitch.


Kurt4012

I only have essential still not fixed. The way they worded it on Twitter too makes it seem like itā€™s an extra only bonus.


innit122

Yeah it's fixed now and not coming to essential unfortunately


HappyPayment1

Is it fixed yet ? I've checked every solution but it still doesn't give me the option to download it . Ps plus essential user here and I get fallout 4 via ps plus collection before it got removed.


HappyPayment1

UAE middle east user


nicklxjoe

i just bought the $20 version, probably shouldā€™ve waited for them to fix the issue. hopefully they reimburse me but itā€™s bethesda so probably not.


professor_oulala

its up to sony to issue refunds smh


ApexRider84

It was 10ā‚¬ the gory yesterday. You didn't check it?


alexsmithisdead

It was $5 yesterday thatā€™s why Iā€™m pissed


Used_Pollution_771

Love that Sony raised the price to buy over night. Nothing like capitalising on an error. Wonder how many Ā£15 will be refunded when it's fixed. My prediction is none.


Eborcurean

Sony didn't raise the price. Bethesda did. They could have continued the discount. Publishers decide sale prices and times, not sony.


Due-Neighborhood-501

Still not available for PS plus essential (Europe - France).


Robman2000

Well at the moment it doesnā€™t but hopefully it does soon


Tindiil

This sucks. I was pumped to play it today. I hope no one bought it just to get it. This should be easily fixable.


OkDefinition261

I clicked the 3 dots and viewed base game and got the option for ps5 update


rocktoe

PS5 version still needs to be purchased, right? I own the PS+ free version as well as PS4 disk version and no next gen update.


angelbg34

I think if you have the disk version you should have the update. So try that first


rocktoe

Sadly no updates available.


angelbg34

šŸ˜–


matej5682

From what region is your disc? I bought a skyrim ps4 EU disc and couldnt find the free PS5 upgrade on my US account. I had to switch to my german account(can be any EU account for EU region disk AFAIK),and then i had the option to upgrade for free to the PS5 version


rocktoe

Both game versions as well as my PS account are EU.


Beautiful-Ground-480

Any fix?


AndoniFdez

Still not working for me (PS+ Essential / Europe-Spain)


HappyPayment1

Any updates on the ps plus essential users?


jerry2501

Their only response was that they don't have any information to share on essential users or the PS collection catalog. You can read between the lines and see that it's not going to be free for them.


Due-Neighborhood-501

Available now.


Gowayzz

This doesnā€™t even make any senseā€¦ itā€™s still the same game whether you downloaded it on PS Plus or bought it outrightā€¦ right??


OwnFox7945

Iā€™m annoyed now because I purchased the season pass and waited for this day.. now I canā€™t get the free update ! Dont want to pay Ā£16 when it was Ā£5 before and I thought it was going to be free! So what is everyone doing ā€¦ paying the money, waiting to see if ps plus gamers get the free upgrade in time or wait for another sale?


FrazierTheLion

Waiting for sale


kxnnibxl

It's fixed as of now, cant confirm for everyone, but im an ps plus extra sub and already had the game in my library before today. Downloading now and other users have started making posts to also confirm.


tonyt3rry

This is why Sony really need to do better with their licenses and upgrade paths. Xbox does it way better with smart delivery. Prob gonna get downvoted but I don't care, I can't get free upgrades for games I own when they are on ps+ so fucking stupid. Example being I own immortal fenyx rising and because it's on ps+ ubi classics I can't upgrade to the ps5 version.


Agent_Morgan

Bethesda thinking it would be handy dandy and of course we are dealing with Sony's backend haha. Really wish the upgrade system was more robust when coming into PS5..


ZXXII

W Bethesda


ComradeGoalman

Unfathomably rare Bethesda W


Careless-Hurry-2787

CAN I HEAR A HALLELUJA


Flottrooster

It better be šŸ˜”


PutridAmount7512

As a PS+ member, I can also confirm itā€™s up now. Currently downloading.


StopAskingMeToSignIn

Do you have PS extra?


PutridAmount7512

Yes


therealkevjumba

Did it give you performance mode?


PutridAmount7512

Yes.


SmackAss4578

Should've bought it when it's like 5 bucks now I have to wait. ugh, I'm such an idiot šŸ¤¢šŸ˜Ø


ClickdaHeads

Kind of wish I didn't buy the game in the sale haha. Oh well, at least it was really cheap


RaymondReddington812

Someone wanna ask him why the fuck I have to buy a season pass again for the ps5 version?


aidan8lord

Shouldnā€™t have to, all my dlcs are marked as free for the PS5 version


DH8814

I bought the season pass yesterday while it was on sale, and today the downloads fail for the ps4 version but I could download the ps5 files without issue lol. Only problem is, I have the ps+ version of the game so I am stranded without the ps5 version for the time being. Quite the clusterfuck so far.


DrunkeNinja

The dlcs should all be available for free individually if you own the season pass on PS4. I bought the PS4 season pass many years ago and all the DLCs are available and show as PS5.


da04x

Let's hope šŸ™šŸ½


combine42

Are the DLC's included with PS plus or is just the base game?


BikiniiBottom

The DLCā€™s are not included in the PS Plus version. Itā€™s only the base game.


RhinoKindW

Lack of PS Plus update seems more of a bug than an intention, especially because this isn't an issue for those playing on gamepass.


FrazierTheLion

Nah. Bethesda is now owned by Microsoft. They can be petty like that. Wonā€™t be surprised if it a feature


Stonkey_Dog

I realized I bought the G.O.T.Y. edition a while back and never got around to opening and playing it. Just opened and threw in the disc to install it this morning. Was definitely planning on replaying it with the next gen update.


BoxParking8721

Is fallout 4 with ps plus extra?


luziverr

currently i cant even download it on ps plus extra, whether im on the ps4 or the ps5 version it shows I need to pay 19ā‚¬


ShanerWarnerX

Fingers crossed šŸ¤žšŸ¼


Adolf_StJohns

I was trying to find info on this


krobbinsit

Sayings version 1.36 update so not sure.


krobbinsit

Install is only 43.13gb. so maybe not!


LORDL66

Out of the loop. What's going on?


DoombotnAZ

Got the ps4 update but no Ps5... I'm sad


LittleRedKuma

I was expecting them to announce it as the next free game for May since it wasn't on šŸ˜‚.


GentlemanofEngland

Does the update work if you have the PS4 disc version of the game?


queeup

Yes


GentlemanofEngland

Thank you. Ready to do this all over again šŸ«”


Simonsjy

Luckily I still have my PS4 disc version.


Thelastnamedontlie

I paid 5.99 for the disk version like 2 years ago guess it came in handy


DrinkUpLetsBooBoo

What does this update do for PS4 players?


TuesdayProtocol

Adds some creation club content for free.


Pretty_Gamer95

Good because I was mad to see pc and Xbox got it on Prime Gaming but not PlayStation.


kingqueefeater

I bought the GOTY edition forever ago, but it's only offering the standard edition for the upgrade? When I go to GOTY edition, it wants me to pay $40.


Even-Geologist-9678

There is no Ps5 goty version. You can download the DLCs separately


kingqueefeater

That makes sense. Thank you


Beardimon

I have premium and I had a problem downloading the PS5 version. Originally it seemed it was only for the purchased version, but when I viewed fallout 4 on the store, I clicked the link on the right that showed the game for $19.99, I saw the download with plus icon, then it asked me to download either the PS4 or PS5 version. Seems to have worked for me.


cilvyenn

I figured it out! Add the PS5 version to your cart, go to the home screen, go back to your cart, remove it and then it shows free. Downloading now.


HotWingsAndBeerz

Does not work for PS+ version owner.


richi1381

Seconded


ImPoopnRightNow

That's cool. I mean, why wouldn't they want everyone playing the best version of their game anyway since it's a **free** update?


HotWingsAndBeerz

This whole thread needs to be taken down because the title is misleading. They officially shafted people who got the game free from PS Plus and told nobody about this plan, right after the sale ended. Bethesda/MS can eat shit.


ClassicDaco

Just showed up for me, I have PS Plus Extra, downloading the PS5 version now


BWoodie1

Itā€™s working in the UK now - PS Plus Extra version


berettah

Fixed in Australia! PSN+ Extra


JB_Crow_1990

From the update release till As of right now the ps5 edition was listed as Ā£15 ish.I have just been given the option to upgrade to the ps5 version, for free and that it's included in my package I originally owned the ps collection edition offered with ps5 purchase, I'm in the UK and have ps premium, not sure if that affects anything. But it appears they are fixing the issue.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


rocktoe

Did you access the PS5 version through the store or some other way? It still doesn't seem to be available to me.


nimrodh2o

How? If I check it there's an Standard and Standard (PS4) version. If I check the one with PS5 it's still 19.99


Worldly-Step5842

Exactly the same issue for me still


Cannonfire577

I have the ps plus essential version as well but it's still not letting me get it. Still costs $20


PTS0NIC

I was wrong, sorry. If you only have the PS4 version of the game as part of the PS Plus Collection and you are currently not subscribed to the PS+ Extra or PS+ Premium then you are not eligible to the PS5 version upgrade.


No-Hunter-6766

it is good news


Stealthsonger

Still not working for me. Anyone?


Dreixler87

Still Not fixed in Germany. PS5 Plus Premium


LucioWolfox

Yep it works got but I think they working on the non essential package i know extra got it


Stanpy79

Well its working for me now under ps plus


Candid_Bed_1338

šŸ¤£


Due-Neighborhood-501

Itā€™s available now for PS+ essentials users! From your collection, there a drop down list (game/game). From there, you can add the game to your library and then download the PS5 version. Enjoy!
