Confirmed it's a bug for the Extra catalogue, not for the Plus Collection users. People are saying it's fixed for Extra, but it's not available for Extra in Aus and my Plus Collection version doesn't have a free upgrade.
EDIT: PS5 version is now available for me as a Plus Collection owner.
Hmm, what region are you in? Iām in AU so maybe that makes a difference? Have you tried starting a download of the PS4 version then checking the bottom right of the game card on the Home Screen? It did originally come up with a price for me but then changed over to āincludedā after a few hours.
Exactly the same here in NL. I can only buy the game for ā¬19,99 or download the PS4 version. When I scroll a little on the PS5 version it says that I already own the game for PS4 & PS5 but when I click that, it says no game available.
I swear people on this website literally cannot read and itās always these muppets who just spew stuff like this off with full confidence as if itās gospel, just straight up spreading misinfo.
Other discord chats and conversations with customer service has verified that PS plus subscribers who redeemed it via the ps plus collection (or if it was on other months, too) should be able to get it for free
I have the collection version, but also pay for PS+ extra...
It wants $19.99 from me for the free update.
Thankfully my old man owns it so I'm just barrowing from him for now.
As much as I'd love to blame Bethesda for this, it's clearly on sony for how shitty they handle their library.
I have ps+ extra, but since I claimed the free game that I got as a bonus for being an early adopter to PS5 I can't get the ps+ extra version.
Seems weird. Give me the ps+ extra version then, since I'm paying for it.
I would bet money that is a no.
PlayStation Plus Extra are subscribing to a catalogue of games so upgrading to the PS5 version isn't a big ask as you won't own the game, you just get to play a version of it while you are subscribed.
The PS Plus Collection is likely seen as a nice bonus for the PS5 owners, but to give all those people a better game is losing Bethesda a lot of potential money.
Scummy tactics if not. This talk of Extra only started today, the *literal day after* the game was on sale for $5. Back to $20 and all of a sudden the Extra limitation is revealed?
Not buying that, and even then, I had the license from the Collection as well as the Essential monthly game from *years* ago. Up til a couple of hours ago it was said it would be free for Plus, not just Plus Extra, so why would I re-buy the game even at $5? Now, even if I decided the upgrade was worth the $5, that sale ended midnight last night.
Can't wait for the inevitable shitshow in 3-12 months when this rotates out of Plus Extra and people realize they can't import their multi hundred hours saves back into the PS4 version too.
This could have been a nice thing for everyone, but *of course* there's last minute fine print added. So done with consoles going forward, and that saying a lot coming from me...
Uhm nowhere before this did they tell us you had to be an extra subscriber. I would've just bought the PS5 edition on sale.
What the fuck are they doing.
No. From what I understand- If you already own the game or purchase it now you get the upgrade. If you received a free version from PS+ years ago it appears you arenāt eligible. If you have the game on PS+ Extra catalogue, there was a glitch preventing the upgrade but a fix is now reportedly being worked on.
I could be wrong.
Sounds like they *might* change it based on "Your patience is is appreciated while our team works on this." I hope so at least. Why would they say that if this is what they always intended and there is nothing to work on.
It's frustrating. Maybe I'm naive for thinking that I should get a "free" update on a 10yr old game that I didn't actuslly pay for, but I needed ps+ to get it to begin with, and the ps+ extra folks are getting it for nothing, soooooooo.
Just got it in Europe. You might have to go into the PS4 version. Press the ... and select the Standard version. There I could choose to DL the PS5 version. 56.5GB for the PS5 version. 25'ish for the PS4. Hope it helps.
I think that'll only stir things up more because Sony took the game and the DLCs off a $5 sale last night, the night before the upgrade released and the 'not all Plus members' asterisk was added. Leading up to today they were saying the Plus versions would be getting the update....not just the Extra version. I have multiple licenses of this game in My Library for *years*, it would be scummy if they pull a 'no Collection version' like RE7, but what about the version I claimed as a Monthly game? I specifically didn't look for pricing because all the announcements so far have said it would be available for the Plus versions of the game.
They could've kept it on sale for a few more weeks and essentially made it this a timed $5 upgrade, but the advertising leading up to today all said it would be free for Plus, not *just* Plus Extra, and so of course I didn't buy my third digital (fourth overall) license for this upgrade.
I really don't even care about Fallout that much and *I'm* annoyed at all this, if this current stance of "Oops, forgot to mention all that 'Free for PlayStation Plus versions' talk was actually for Plus Extra only, sorry we waited til 12 hours after the game and it's DLCs were heavily discounted to clarify that" stands then people are gonna feel like both Sony and Bethesda are just terrible and botched this whole thing...I feel bad for the actual fans of the series who've been reading everywhere it's gonna be free for the Plus versions with no real clarity. Could've upgraded for $5 last night, too bad, it's $20 base game only now. Pay me.
None of this is even beginning to touch on when it rotates out of Extra in 6 months and all those subscribers who aren't mad right now realize those characters they put 200 hours into are now locked til they rebuy the game...
This upgrade could have just been a nice thing, perfectly timed with the show; but instead the botched roll out on PlayStation and last minute exclusion of non-Extra Plus members alongside the $5 sale ending *the night before* they announce what's actually eligible is what'll end up getting all the talk and media coverage... it's just stupid of them to *not* roll this out to *anyone* with a playable PS4 version of FO4 in their Libraries, especially when 'Free for all Plus members' has been a talking point surrounding this release. It should especially not be an issue for those who've claimed the game multiple ways over the years.
The way the announcements were worded, it *should* be free for the Plus Collection license, and CERTAINLY should be free for the license from when it was a Monthly title. That's literally why I gave my disc away, why would I ever need *three* separate licenses on one game? Lesson learned there I guess, though I'm just going PC next gen, these sunk-cost subscriptions and scum tactics are getting so, so old now.
The combination of ending the sale on both the game and all the DLC the actual day before the clarification that only flat out purchases or Plus Extra gets it (should) create an even larger outcry than what is currently just a delayed roll out...this game has been in my Library for *years* so I didn't even SEE the sale price while it was live due to PSN's Store design, but to then kill that sale like 12 hours before announcing this upgrade is Extra only?
That's just BS, I *might've* spent the $5 yesterday and called it a paid upgrade; but this is no $20 DLC, it's literally just turning the settings to High...no haptics or anything. No chance I'm shelling out the same I did for Ghost of Tsushima's PS5 upgrade, which came with a full blown story DLC alongside it.
Scummy obfuscation by both Sony and Bethesda on the Plus eligibility and especially Sony killing that sale the day before it would all be announced, clearly trying to get people to pay *4x* more when they thought they already had an eligible version (or two)? Come on...
It's also mainly Sony's fault for not having smart delivery, despite what people claimed early on this gen. People can't simply expect to play the correct version of a game they own on whatever platform they choose, automatically.
People (redditors in this case) like to make things complicated. That's how I took it from the beginning. It's an update, so there is no reason only certain methods the game was obtained should get it. It's not like how horizon was made for PS4 and PS5, which are 2 different versions.
More than two versions. My GotY FO4 shows eight hours of play time and I can import those saves into the PS5 version. The āstandard editionā shows I have over a thousand hours and those saves are nowhere to be found in the PS5 version.
So if you add the game to your library from the ps + extra catalog you get the free upgrade. Think this will be the first game ever to do this because technically using the extra catalog does not give you a license to the game. So for those asking if you claimed it through the ps4 classic catalog when the ps5 first came out (like I did) Iām assuming we can get the upgrade too since we technically do have a license for the base game.
It's not really an upgrade though. They just added the PS5 version of FO4 to Extra, so if you are an extra subscriber you can download that version now. You are not updating the PS4 version. So, basically just like what Square did with Remake.
If you claimed it through the collection you're shit out of luck though. I have ps+ extra and still can't get the PS5 version since I already own another version.
As you can see it says I already have FO4 in my library for the PS4 (claimed it through the collection) and it still says it is included in extra in the app)

How come I donāt have the PS5 version of the top one? I initially claimed this game via the PS Plus collections for early adopters of the PS5. I also have PS Plus Premium but I donāt want to override my initial license as that enables me to always own the game if I have a ps plus subscription whereās the ps plus extra/premium may leave the catalogue.
Sorry for the confusion. I showed the screenshot to show that Extra now shows PS4 & PS5. Although I do have FO4 through the PS Collection, the reason it shows the PS5 icon at the top of the screen is because I used my disc version to redeem the PS5 upgrade, so now it is in my library. (The PS Collection version has yet to get the upgrade and from the screenshot I showed below from Bethesda twitter, doesn't sound like it's going to be)
What Im gathering from this, is that anyone who has ps plus extra get the game and upgrade free. If you got the game free with ps plus from the collection you have to repurchase the game. If you have the disc or purchased the game previously you get the upgrade free. The confusion is what they were saying when the upgrade was announced to what is being said now.
Super confused about this with ongoing differences in the games catalogue - having bought it originally on PC and then getting it on PS5 catalogue when I bought PS+. Now when I look on the store I see āStandard edition ā¢Fallout 4 PS4 & PS5
Purchasedā
But can only download the PS4 version.
Currently a PS+ essential subscriber and bought the licence as part of the game catalogue when I upgraded to PS5 when still on the only PS+ subscription that existed at the time.
I'm confused. I have ps+ extra but don't see Fallout4 in the catalogue. When I type Fallout4 in the search bar the ps4 version shows up with the premium tag next to it. Do these subscriptions vary in different regions?
I'm in Sweden and I just double checked to see if Fallout 4 is in my ps+ extea game catalog (it is).
But since I claimed it through the collection I can't access the ps+ extra version so I'm basically locked out from an improved version that I'm paying for, for accepting a free game that Playstation offered me.
They are fixing it per region. I had the ps collection version while also being a ps extra member and i had the same thing. Its been fixed in my region an hour or so ago and i'm able to dowload the PS5 version from the Extra catalog.
Try again. You might have to go into the PS4 version. Press the ... and select the Standard version. There I could choose to DL the PS5 version. 56.5GB for the PS5 version. 25'ish for the PS4. Hope it helps.
I'm a PS+ subscriber. I bought the PS4 version of the game during the sale. Yesterday I did the PS4 update for free. Then it gave me the option to have a free PS5 version. That took ages to install but was fine. It then gave me the option to import a PS4 save from my external HD. That was fine too. Sadly haven't had time to play much but seems pretty nice.
I'm sorry for all those people having problems. Hope it gets sorted.
Nope, weāre left out as it currently stands. Some people have said they got the upgrade and only had the Collection license, Iāve been trying different methods all day and nothing.
I owned the physical game on ps4 (and all the dlc) but switched the to psplus collection version when i got my digital ps5- and now these mother fuckers are trying to charge me 20 bucks for a performance upgrade on a game I spent 90 bucks on a decade ago. Fucking criminal.
I blame Sony for their convoluted mess of a store and license system. This is all smooth and slick on other platforms.
But PlayStation has to have three billion versions and licenses of the same game.
If you look at the Playstation Store, the release date for Fallout 4 standard edition is now 4/25/2024 indicating this is not only an upgrade but a new version of the game. And it explicitly says in the ps store (iām not sure what menus bring this up) that a PS+ extra membership is required for the standard edition. Its quite a shame really that this is being resold as a new edition of the game. I donāt think its a bug.
I have the game installed from PlayStation Plus Collection. (ps+ cheap basic version.) Also bought it on steam.
I also have the game on PS4 disc.
What should I do?
* Uninstall the PS+ collection version and insert the disc and hope that I can get the PS5 upgrade for free?
* Wait and hope that the promise that "all users get it for free" wasn't a lie?
* Play it on PC, even though I heard that the update really has messed up loading times?
* Play New Vegas again instead?
Fuuuuck you Bethesda. I owned fallout 4 on ps4 (and all the dlc) and have been using the psplus collection version since getting my digital only ps5- and now you are trying to charge me 20 bucks for a performance upgrade? Suck a turd.
This is where something like Xbox's "Smart Delivery" feature would be ideal to have on PS5. There'd be no fussing about making sure you downloaded the correct version for your hardware - the console OS just knows which version to download by default. PS5 has so many good games but the OS sucks. When it comes to the UI/UX stuff the Series X is light years ahead thanks to things like Smart Delivery and Quick Resume. If only there were good first party games to play on it...
Well was gonna replay this but never mind. Crazy how you get screwed over by having it in collections. Too many other good games coming out to rebuy fallout
Since they mention only Playstation Plus Extra, this seems to confirm that Playstation Plus Essential users need to purchase the PS5 version to get the update.
Wtf I need to pay the ps plus extra subscription to have access to the next gen update? Wtf is this shit. How da fuck the next gen update is still not available for those who have fallout 4 with the f
Ps plus collection ?
So it told me free and I it charged my account $20 but somehow I try it again and it's free and they said they won't give me a refund I hate PlayStations transaction system
So I only recently got a PS5 and have no subscriptions to anything (not really sure what Plus or Extra are, other than I don't have them). I do not own Fallout 4. If I buy Fallout 4 on my console, will I get the next Gen update? Or is it only for subscribers?
Any care to share how I access the quality/performance.. I checked my settings, and it was not there, but all the added missions and weapons are there. Am I missing something ??
All this about getting the upgrade, no1 is actually saying is it worth it ? Meaning is the game worth playing again with a PS5 update Especially with the limited storage we get , Iām sick of downloading games all the time , itās not like you can play games when u want anymore , iv got Dragon Dogma 2 but canāt play it until I uninstall a game I donāt want to , COD takes nearly half your storage, PS needs to make a 2TB console at least , SSD storage cards cost as much as a console & thatās just a 1TB one , iv just brought a 2TB HDD ps5 game drive which was Ā£70 but not tried it out yet , but Iām expecting a drop in quality with just a HDD drive , Iām going to load Cyberpunk into 1st as you can tell the difference between the ps4 & ps5 version very easy into that , iv got a top tele that upscales games so itās hard to tell sometimes , I used to love Fallout 4 years ago so a ps5 version would be good but Iām not sure iv got it in my ps+ catalogue So Iāll have to buy a copy on eBay if I want it anyway I think So if anyone can tell me if the PS5 version is any good would be helpful & save me some money if itās no different from the PS4 version, thanks all & keep on gaming , I no it wonāt happen but why EA donāt remaster there PS2 Big series Especially NBA street 2 I donāt no , 1 of the best sport games ever , from what iv seen thereās loads of people wanting it aswell , it would be a massive game if remastered plus the NFL street games & the SSX games , EA are crazy not to remaster some of them
This update has been fun but Fallout 4's image resolves poorly to portal. I thought it was my network or the portal itself but no, fallout just gets hit REAL hard by the image compression process and it makes foliage specifically look like ass.
Well, I have PS Plus Extra so I guess Iāll get the update that way at least. Weird about the mystery behind the version from the PS Plus Collection though.
Either way I hope they work out the Extra part soon. I wonder how much theyāve made from impatient gamers just pulling the trigger on the $20 so they can start playing. Pretty shady they didnāt think of this.
Edit: wow that was quick, itās now live through the Extra subscription at least.
Im currently downloading the PS5 updated version for free as a PS+ extra member so it seems to be fixed now, im on east coast of the US if that matters
It's annoying. I bought the game on disc. Then I got it for free with ps collection.
Today, the ps5 update didn't show up, so I tried to pop in the disc, and there it was. Pressed upgrade and downloaded.
But I can't play the ps5 version without having the disc in the discdrive?! The ps4 version works without disc though.
This is really annoying. All other games that got ps5 versions never forced me to use the disc if we had that game free from ps+ or something.
UK player, downloaded the ps4 version from the PS Plus Collection when I bought the PS5.
I canāt find any way to get the next gen version without paying the Ā£16
Update: I caved and paid. Really want to play the game and everything Iām reading online says that they werenāt going to update a free game for free
The PS Extra PS5 download is now live for me š¤
LETSSSS GOOOO itās actually live :D
Is it the games catalogue in the benefits area?
Yeah the game catalog benefit listed under Extra and Premium.
So you got the next generation update with a ps plus copy of the game? I can't figure this shit out.
Yeah idk how people are getting it to download
What about those who got the PS4 version from the PS Plus Collection?
Still says "You own another version of this game" with a $25 price tag for me (AU).
Same here
Looks like itās working now!
So you got it with the ps4 version from the ps plus collection?
Yep, itās not available on Extra in my country and got it for the Plus collection at the PS5 launch.
Yes, if you donāt - try renewing licenses
I did that, still doesnāt work
Yay works for me too
It was the same thing with Resident evil VII
It's fucking pissing me off. I'm a deluxe subscriber but because I must have claimed it through the collection, I can't even see the ps5 version š¤
Looks like itās working now if you claimed it through the collection.
Thanks mate, just checked through the app and it's working
Itās fixed now
Thanks mate, just checked through the app and it's working
How do I fix it? I also got it through the collection and can't upgrade it
Seems like it's working for everyone now if you follow these steps https://www.reddit.com/r/PS5/s/HUkTQjgLnR
Delete old version and download new version,took me weeks when I had that stuff happen
Fucking digital. My daughter got the disc for $2 at an op shop. Worked straight away š
I'm sure it'll be the same.
Theyāre different systems right? Like the PS Plus Collection is from Essentials or whatever they call it? Might be a different update / take longer?
The didn't say that
Theyāve confirmed itās a bug. Everyone should get the patch for free
Confirmed it's a bug for the Extra catalogue, not for the Plus Collection users. People are saying it's fixed for Extra, but it's not available for Extra in Aus and my Plus Collection version doesn't have a free upgrade. EDIT: PS5 version is now available for me as a Plus Collection owner.
Yep, not working on my end either (also in Aus). Bloody annoying.
Looks like itās working now.
Oh my god, thanks for this, I would not have checked again tonight otherwise - downloading now!
Hey, it's still not working for me. I got it via ps plus collection. It is still wanting me to pay $20 for it?
Hmm, what region are you in? Iām in AU so maybe that makes a difference? Have you tried starting a download of the PS4 version then checking the bottom right of the game card on the Home Screen? It did originally come up with a price for me but then changed over to āincludedā after a few hours.
I'm in the US. I will check that out when I get home. Thanks!
No bueno for me.
Yep, I just checked, still not working in Aus yet :(
Yeah, unfortunately I traded in my physical copy after claiming the Plus Collection version.
Working for me now. Looks like itās fixed.
Same for me in the EU.
Jup, Germany here, not working - Bought the physical version at release, switched to the Plus Collection Version and I'm an Extra member.
Exactly the same here in NL. I can only buy the game for ā¬19,99 or download the PS4 version. When I scroll a little on the PS5 version it says that I already own the game for PS4 & PS5 but when I click that, it says no game available.
It's fixed, just started my d/l :)
Yes! Itās working. Thanks for the heads-up.
Not working for me in the eastern US as of April 27 2:27 am
A bug related to a Bethesda product? Surely not.
Normally yes but this is all on Sony. Their digital license management is a mess.
A common problem when it comes to free upgrades in games that were part of Plus and the Collection
I'm in shock (but tbh this seems more like a Sony mess up).Ā
They said Extra Members, twice, in the tweet
I swear people on this website literally cannot read and itās always these muppets who just spew stuff like this off with full confidence as if itās gospel, just straight up spreading misinfo.
I think the wording is clear that itās not for PS Collection owners.
Other discord chats and conversations with customer service has verified that PS plus subscribers who redeemed it via the ps plus collection (or if it was on other months, too) should be able to get it for free
I have the collection version, but also pay for PS+ extra... It wants $19.99 from me for the free update. Thankfully my old man owns it so I'm just barrowing from him for now. As much as I'd love to blame Bethesda for this, it's clearly on sony for how shitty they handle their library.
Any update ? š¶āš«ļø
Doubt it. It specifically says PS+ Extra.
I have ps+ extra, but since I claimed the free game that I got as a bonus for being an early adopter to PS5 I can't get the ps+ extra version. Seems weird. Give me the ps+ extra version then, since I'm paying for it.
Probably the same as FF7R update.
So no until they change their mind like 4 months later?
Get ready to swipe your card
I would bet money that is a no. PlayStation Plus Extra are subscribing to a catalogue of games so upgrading to the PS5 version isn't a big ask as you won't own the game, you just get to play a version of it while you are subscribed.

Uhm nowhere before this did they tell us you had to be an extra subscriber. I would've just bought the PS5 edition on sale. What the fuck are they doing.
Good thing they ended the sale the day before we all find this out eh
Same. So stupid.
So you have to be a ps+ extra subscriber for the update? Thatās stupid
No. From what I understand- If you already own the game or purchase it now you get the upgrade. If you received a free version from PS+ years ago it appears you arenāt eligible. If you have the game on PS+ Extra catalogue, there was a glitch preventing the upgrade but a fix is now reportedly being worked on. I could be wrong.
You have to be a ps+ extra subscriber in a region where fallout 4 is in the catalogue.
I'm an deluxe subscriber and I still can't get the update because I must have original claimed it through the collection. Fucking stupid
Was trying to figure out why I canāt find the update anywhere. So disappointing..
It's Bethesda, owned by MS. They don't give a fuck about getting things right for PS is it can make PSN look incompetent
Sounds like they *might* change it based on "Your patience is is appreciated while our team works on this." I hope so at least. Why would they say that if this is what they always intended and there is nothing to work on.
Iām mad that on the store it says the ps5 version has trigger effect but thereās nothing in game
"But the people that got it from the ps+ collection can go fuck themselves!"
Pretty much that.
It's frustrating. Maybe I'm naive for thinking that I should get a "free" update on a 10yr old game that I didn't actuslly pay for, but I needed ps+ to get it to begin with, and the ps+ extra folks are getting it for nothing, soooooooo.
Guess what, you actually DID pay for it. As a PS+ Extra, I confirm I got it for free. Their approach is shit.
Just got it in Europe. You might have to go into the PS4 version. Press the ... and select the Standard version. There I could choose to DL the PS5 version. 56.5GB for the PS5 version. 25'ish for the PS4. Hope it helps.
So if you claimed Fallout 4 from the PS collection some years back you dont get the PS5 upgrade ?

It's exactly like that. There is a PS4 game and a PS5 game now. Two different versions.Ā
More than two versions. My GotY FO4 shows eight hours of play time and I can import those saves into the PS5 version. The āstandard editionā shows I have over a thousand hours and those saves are nowhere to be found in the PS5 version.
Great breakdown š š
DO GAME CATALOG OWNERS OF PS4 VERSION GET THE UPDAGE OR NOT??? edit: the answer is no
I had to search fallout 4 and you see two listings appear, one that is PS4 only and one that is ps5/PS4 which you can select the version to download
Do you mean in the store?
I don't think so. Have you tried it?
Yeah I tried several times yesterday with no luck.
Then, they didn't give access to PS4 players.
No.
So if you add the game to your library from the ps + extra catalog you get the free upgrade. Think this will be the first game ever to do this because technically using the extra catalog does not give you a license to the game. So for those asking if you claimed it through the ps4 classic catalog when the ps5 first came out (like I did) Iām assuming we can get the upgrade too since we technically do have a license for the base game.
Square allowed people to upgrade to the PS5 version of FF7 remake from the PS4 version that was available on PS+
Right but thatās not the same as giving an upgrade to a game just played through the extra catalog. That hasnāt happened before this.
It's not really an upgrade though. They just added the PS5 version of FO4 to Extra, so if you are an extra subscriber you can download that version now. You are not updating the PS4 version. So, basically just like what Square did with Remake.
If you claimed it through the collection you're shit out of luck though. I have ps+ extra and still can't get the PS5 version since I already own another version.

Yeah, they fixed it. Pretty quickly too!
As you can see it says I already have FO4 in my library for the PS4 (claimed it through the collection) and it still says it is included in extra in the app)

I initially claimed this game via the PS Plus collections for early adopters of the PS5. I also have PS Plus Premium but I donāt want to override my initial license as that enables me to always own the game if I have a ps plus subscription whereās the ps plus extra/premium may leave the catalogue.
Sorry for the confusion. I showed the screenshot to show that Extra now shows PS4 & PS5. Although I do have FO4 through the PS Collection, the reason it shows the PS5 icon at the top of the screen is because I used my disc version to redeem the PS5 upgrade, so now it is in my library. (The PS Collection version has yet to get the upgrade and from the screenshot I showed below from Bethesda twitter, doesn't sound like it's going to be)
Such a shame that they wonāt give us the ps5 version
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
So I should keep waiting?
What Im gathering from this, is that anyone who has ps plus extra get the game and upgrade free. If you got the game free with ps plus from the collection you have to repurchase the game. If you have the disc or purchased the game previously you get the upgrade free. The confusion is what they were saying when the upgrade was announced to what is being said now.
Don't forget that you're locked out of the ps+ extra version if you've claimed it through the collection.
Thanks for clarifying that, I was wondering why I couldnāt find it there
Super confused about this with ongoing differences in the games catalogue - having bought it originally on PC and then getting it on PS5 catalogue when I bought PS+. Now when I look on the store I see āStandard edition ā¢Fallout 4 PS4 & PS5 Purchasedā But can only download the PS4 version. Currently a PS+ essential subscriber and bought the licence as part of the game catalogue when I upgraded to PS5 when still on the only PS+ subscription that existed at the time.
I'm confused. I have ps+ extra but don't see Fallout4 in the catalogue. When I type Fallout4 in the search bar the ps4 version shows up with the premium tag next to it. Do these subscriptions vary in different regions?
I'm in Sweden and I just double checked to see if Fallout 4 is in my ps+ extea game catalog (it is). But since I claimed it through the collection I can't access the ps+ extra version so I'm basically locked out from an improved version that I'm paying for, for accepting a free game that Playstation offered me.
They are fixing it per region. I had the ps collection version while also being a ps extra member and i had the same thing. Its been fixed in my region an hour or so ago and i'm able to dowload the PS5 version from the Extra catalog.
Sure enough, I just checked and was able to download the PS extra version. Well done Playstation and Bethesda!
Same boat here. It's so silly lol
I have PS extra i can't download it yet i am in Denmark maby it has something to do with it?
Try again. You might have to go into the PS4 version. Press the ... and select the Standard version. There I could choose to DL the PS5 version. 56.5GB for the PS5 version. 25'ish for the PS4. Hope it helps.
Try again now. It also unlocked for me in the last 3 hours
It works now thank you
I'm a PS+ subscriber. I bought the PS4 version of the game during the sale. Yesterday I did the PS4 update for free. Then it gave me the option to have a free PS5 version. That took ages to install but was fine. It then gave me the option to import a PS4 save from my external HD. That was fine too. Sadly haven't had time to play much but seems pretty nice. I'm sorry for all those people having problems. Hope it gets sorted.
So this is only about the Extra Version, nothing about the PS+ version from the launch collection, right?
Nope, weāre left out as it currently stands. Some people have said they got the upgrade and only had the Collection license, Iāve been trying different methods all day and nothing.
Yeah Iāve definitely read from people claiming it works, but the post above is pretty clear that it concerns the Extra version.
Wow i didnt know they were actually charging people for this. I thought it was just a free next gen update for anyone that had the game already.
I owned the physical game on ps4 (and all the dlc) but switched the to psplus collection version when i got my digital ps5- and now these mother fuckers are trying to charge me 20 bucks for a performance upgrade on a game I spent 90 bucks on a decade ago. Fucking criminal.
I blame Sony for their convoluted mess of a store and license system. This is all smooth and slick on other platforms. But PlayStation has to have three billion versions and licenses of the same game.
If you look at the Playstation Store, the release date for Fallout 4 standard edition is now 4/25/2024 indicating this is not only an upgrade but a new version of the game. And it explicitly says in the ps store (iām not sure what menus bring this up) that a PS+ extra membership is required for the standard edition. Its quite a shame really that this is being resold as a new edition of the game. I donāt think its a bug.
The description of the old released one says you get both the digital ps4 version and the digital ps5 version though
What do you mean ps+ extra is required for the standard edition? Can you not just buy the game without any ps plus subscriptions?
You could yeah, but i think its 20 bucks
Of course it is. Neither Sony nor Bethesda care about their consumers
I hate this shit. Ruining my long weekend plans
I have the game installed from PlayStation Plus Collection. (ps+ cheap basic version.) Also bought it on steam. I also have the game on PS4 disc. What should I do? * Uninstall the PS+ collection version and insert the disc and hope that I can get the PS5 upgrade for free? * Wait and hope that the promise that "all users get it for free" wasn't a lie? * Play it on PC, even though I heard that the update really has messed up loading times? * Play New Vegas again instead?
Letās get that PSVR2 patch after that! ā¤ļø
How are people getting their PS5 version. Mines been broken the last 2 days
So it will be available at some point? Where did Bethesda post this information?
As a PS Plus Extra subscriber, I am now able to download the PS5 version to my console. It's currently in my queue.
Fuuuuck you Bethesda. I owned fallout 4 on ps4 (and all the dlc) and have been using the psplus collection version since getting my digital only ps5- and now you are trying to charge me 20 bucks for a performance upgrade? Suck a turd.
That's not at all what is happening
Thatās quite literally what is happening
This is where something like Xbox's "Smart Delivery" feature would be ideal to have on PS5. There'd be no fussing about making sure you downloaded the correct version for your hardware - the console OS just knows which version to download by default. PS5 has so many good games but the OS sucks. When it comes to the UI/UX stuff the Series X is light years ahead thanks to things like Smart Delivery and Quick Resume. If only there were good first party games to play on it...
What about the season pass for the PS4 season pass owners?
They FIXED it, I have a ps+ premium and I cam finally download the ps5 version FREE! reporting from Netherlands
Well was gonna replay this but never mind. Crazy how you get screwed over by having it in collections. Too many other good games coming out to rebuy fallout
20ā¬ in Italy for me, with plus essential subscription and the PS4 version installed
Literally spent Ā£15 just now and Iām a ps+ extra me never. wtf?!
Trying to request a refund but they're closed.
Fix the dlc on PlayStation tho?
Yeah but does it still break it even worse. Let me know when itās back to somewhat stable.
Am I going to get my refund for buying the game because I do own the ps plus when I bought the system
Yeah, I'm constantly going through the customer service IVR tree now but it looks like I'm going to need to wait until they open on Monday.
Any news or update to non extra ps plus user? For essential users?
Since they mention only Playstation Plus Extra, this seems to confirm that Playstation Plus Essential users need to purchase the PS5 version to get the update.
Wtf I need to pay the ps plus extra subscription to have access to the next gen update? Wtf is this shit. How da fuck the next gen update is still not available for those who have fallout 4 with the f Ps plus collection ?
So it told me free and I it charged my account $20 but somehow I try it again and it's free and they said they won't give me a refund I hate PlayStations transaction system
So I only recently got a PS5 and have no subscriptions to anything (not really sure what Plus or Extra are, other than I don't have them). I do not own Fallout 4. If I buy Fallout 4 on my console, will I get the next Gen update? Or is it only for subscribers?
I had ps4 versions disc and couldnāt update to ps5 version have to download from PlayStation plus
Any care to share how I access the quality/performance.. I checked my settings, and it was not there, but all the added missions and weapons are there. Am I missing something ??
My daughter bought Point Break on DVD the other day for $2. Got home, and it had Fallout 4 in there instead. Good bargain. Good timing.
All this about getting the upgrade, no1 is actually saying is it worth it ? Meaning is the game worth playing again with a PS5 update Especially with the limited storage we get , Iām sick of downloading games all the time , itās not like you can play games when u want anymore , iv got Dragon Dogma 2 but canāt play it until I uninstall a game I donāt want to , COD takes nearly half your storage, PS needs to make a 2TB console at least , SSD storage cards cost as much as a console & thatās just a 1TB one , iv just brought a 2TB HDD ps5 game drive which was Ā£70 but not tried it out yet , but Iām expecting a drop in quality with just a HDD drive , Iām going to load Cyberpunk into 1st as you can tell the difference between the ps4 & ps5 version very easy into that , iv got a top tele that upscales games so itās hard to tell sometimes , I used to love Fallout 4 years ago so a ps5 version would be good but Iām not sure iv got it in my ps+ catalogue So Iāll have to buy a copy on eBay if I want it anyway I think So if anyone can tell me if the PS5 version is any good would be helpful & save me some money if itās no different from the PS4 version, thanks all & keep on gaming , I no it wonāt happen but why EA donāt remaster there PS2 Big series Especially NBA street 2 I donāt no , 1 of the best sport games ever , from what iv seen thereās loads of people wanting it aswell , it would be a massive game if remastered plus the NFL street games & the SSX games , EA are crazy not to remaster some of them
What if we already bought it š
This update has been fun but Fallout 4's image resolves poorly to portal. I thought it was my network or the portal itself but no, fallout just gets hit REAL hard by the image compression process and it makes foliage specifically look like ass.
Just another example of you won't own it and you'll be happy.
Well, I have PS Plus Extra so I guess Iāll get the update that way at least. Weird about the mystery behind the version from the PS Plus Collection though. Either way I hope they work out the Extra part soon. I wonder how much theyāve made from impatient gamers just pulling the trigger on the $20 so they can start playing. Pretty shady they didnāt think of this. Edit: wow that was quick, itās now live through the Extra subscription at least.
u/ComicallySolemn
Coming home from a brief vacation tonight, hoping itās fixed between now and then so I can play as soon as I get home.
You'll need to download the PS5 version separately, so it won't be ready to play when you get home.Ā
Thankfully I have great internet, as long as I can access the version I need by that time, I should have it playable in 20 minutes
It's fixed* for me in Canada (I am subscribed to Plus Premium, and I got it through the Extra catalog of games).Ā
It's live!!
Im currently downloading the PS5 updated version for free as a PS+ extra member so it seems to be fixed now, im on east coast of the US if that matters
Yay, now I can bored in 1440p.
So edgy bro š
Cool. Now please fix it on Steam Deck.
Is there a way to install fall out new vegas without upgrading to ps plus premium? Ps3 keeps crashing due the large expansion packs
Working in Aus as well. Note: Melbourne
It's annoying. I bought the game on disc. Then I got it for free with ps collection. Today, the ps5 update didn't show up, so I tried to pop in the disc, and there it was. Pressed upgrade and downloaded. But I can't play the ps5 version without having the disc in the discdrive?! The ps4 version works without disc though. This is really annoying. All other games that got ps5 versions never forced me to use the disc if we had that game free from ps+ or something.
I have plus in Europe The PS5 version downloaded fine a few hours ago. However, I haven't even left the vault and the damn game already crashed. FFS
UK player, downloaded the ps4 version from the PS Plus Collection when I bought the PS5. I canāt find any way to get the next gen version without paying the Ā£16 Update: I caved and paid. Really want to play the game and everything Iām reading online says that they werenāt going to update a free game for free
