PS4 box offers first look at ‘PS5 upgrade’ branding
- Thread starter Arubedo
- Start date
You're right! I just saw a PS3 case in the thread, with the Only on Playstation info sitting below that space and thought it was the same for PS4.
Or on the plastic that you rip off to open the game. Still, at least it's not very obtrusive and blends in with the rest of the art (like, the blue and white color of the PS4 logo and band at the top of the box)
I don't get why so many people want it to be on the back. If they put it on the back, than consumers won't know about it. It being on the front allows the consumers to know if you buy the PS4 version, you will get the PS5 version as well.
That doesn't say to me at least, you get the PS5 version as well.
All that tells me is, there is a PS5 version.
Probably already been answered...but is there a reason as to why rating logos and such on standard game cases can't just be stickers instead of being printed right on the artwork?
Wouldn't that create confusion on which to buy? I guess you could play the PS4 disc in the PS5, but what do you do for the digital edition of 5?
No I mean for example a parent/grandparent buying a disc as a gift for someone with a digital edition console. I wonder if and hope against us moving to unique game codes being in the box for every game to redeem the game on PSN.
I would assume they need to be seen at any point in time, not just when you initially buy the game new. If you remove the stickers how will you know the rating/warnings etc, especially when you buy a game second hand?
There's a superscript 1 after the text so presumably all that info is on the back cover.
You cant pick up game boxes in a lot of stores like Walmart or Target, there in a glass case you can only see and read the front of the box art.
Better then the original Xbox upgrade logo but still don't like these things, should be on the back or just say ps5 and ps4 at the top.
Exactly my thoughts. Would be a great way to use that empty space.
(Edit: but yeah, would be a problem for "Only on PS" games)
But that's where you have "Only on PlayStation" for exclusives. What do you do if a game has to have both tags? It would look off in the middle of the banner.
Yes just thought about it later, buying to many digital games :-D
It says upgrade available, not upgrade free. This badge doesn't look like a guarantee of complimentary anything. If they plan to sell you instead of gift you a PS5 patch, the wording of that label doesnt dispute that plan.
I would say the rating on the back of the cases are there. But ya, the front does make it easier to see off the bat, especially for parents.
It was in the same box, which I thought was supposed to be a Sony thing like any other Sony banner.
All's well if not.
Better, but it's only on the box once. How do we know a PS5 upgrade is actually available for sure?There you go champ (yes, I'm a master at Photoshop...):
Because very few people care about box art and the marketing department has data to show that they can get more sales by placing it on the front.
Wait...if they're dual-layer, then does that mean they're regular Blu-ray discs? I thought they needed to be triple-layer discs to support 100 GB, as the first two layers only support up to 25 GB each, while the third layer adds 50 GB.
It seems clear that this is the ps5 version of crossbuy?
I tend to agree with the folks that are saying that it's ambiguous as to its effect. but I also agree with the folks that once it's clear that this is the PlayStation version of smart delivery it is enough.

Then maybe their triple layer. I just recall seeing it would be 100gb space disc. Just need the proper laser for em to read it. But then again this was ago from the reveal tjmea
because they want to make sure people can see it, as it's potentially a selling point for the game for some, and meanwhile a vast, vast majority of consumers don't get all bent out of shape over preserving the sanctity of video game box art.
I wonder when MS will update these to mention series S?There is not "Optimized for Series X" on newer boxes:
I like the white banner. Problem is it clashes with the blue case. If they made the case white or black it would look quite nice.
