So wait you just go to the store and download the free upgrade while you have the disc on?
Because I went to the store, found the free upgrade but it doesn't let me download anything?
Is there maybe a menu from inside the PS4 version like other games do?

Let's see some consistency, on some game i can chose versions directly from the icon on my dashboard, here instead i have to go to the store and downlowd the PS5 version, waste of bandwith and time

You have to "purchase" the PS5 version for that to occur. Again, this is User error and growing pains with console transition.

Even though it showed as £0.20 on the Playstation app, once I was able to log onto my PS5 and search the store the free version was there.

Really happy to hear how many system features are being supported. Gives me hope for other third party stuff going forward.

I've always wanted to get into Siege but never have, how easy would it be for a total n00b to jump in and play?

It can be overwhelming to be honest. Between learning how the operators play and their gadgets, how to counter operators when playing defense/offense, how to attack or defend certain bomb sites, but I think the game does a good job of easing new players into the game. When you first start, you play only against new players (you do sometimes get veteran players that have restarted fresh).

Use your reown (the in-game currency) to unlock new operators and not on things like camo, skins, etc. Don't be afraid to look up guides on youtube. I look up guides when deciding on who to unlock next, to see if the operator's play style is something I will like.

But once you start to learn the in's and out's the game is so rewarding.

I hate how playstation handles these ps4 to ps5 upgrades. Just let my rainbow six install a 30gb patch only to find out it patched the ps4 version and that I had to go in the store and "purchase" a free ps5 upgrade which promptly downloaded a 42gb version of the game. I can't do this shit with a data cap.


oh no i was doing the same thing, now i gotta delete the whole thing and redownload. wow...

Once booting/crashing issues are resolved I'd be curious to hear impressions of the overall upgraded PS5 experience.

Ps5 version crashes every time I open it.

FYI anyone who is getting a crash, this fix worked for me:

1. Download the PS4 version of Siege
2. Go into General Settings
3. Turn Display Info on and off (Press apply each time)

Can't be sure, but I just booted into the PS5 version for the first time all good now.

It's dope boy, the frame rate is solid and the adaptive triggers add something. You can turn them off as I feel like a lot of people who are competitive with this will not want them on. The file size shrink is the biggest improvement to me. I played rainbow six siege for 120+ hours on pro and I can't remember if there was HDR but it looks like there is now.

This fix from Reddit worked for me:

Yes i also might have found a fix. I got it to work. Try this. Delete your saves from both ps4 and ps5 versions. Make sure both ps5 and ps4 versions of the game are installed. Start the ps4 version first. Let it create a save on that version. Then close the ps4 version and start the ps5 version. That worked for me.

Has this worked for anyone else?

WORKS.

Delete ALL saves. PS5 and PS4, Cloud and Console.

Fire up PS4 version, even if it's not fully downloaded, then close game and launch PS5 version. Trophies poppin'

Yep this worked for me as well, thank you.
Also, I don't remember Siege being this smooth to play on PS4, feels a lot different (in a good way). I also like the DualSense features as well.

Adaptive triggers lasted 2 games, they're a huge hindrance in gun fights against players with it off/on a PS4.

Good idea, just not for multiplayer FPS.

Just to confirm, deleting those saves, you'll still have all your XP, currency, unlocked operators, etc right? I figure with it being a multiplayer game that's all serverside

It's really not a feature for MP at all, I tried worms earlier and while it was cool, it just put me at a disadvantage
