For me it's more just happiness that we can call out bullshit and get quick results.

Sony backtracks on Horizon Forbidden West PS4 to PS5 upgrade. Horizon upgrade free, future Sony games will cost $10 (God of War, GT7, etc)

This post is giving me some "Leave
The multiplayer game from ND should be a given.
Yay !!! Complaining works! Will be getting the PS4 version then (will not buy a PS5 until late 2022 I think).
That's nice, but almost feels like a panicked reaction. I think they should have said that they will, in fact, offer a $10 upgrade path for PS4 owners. That would keep things consistent, because now the conversation has shifted to why a $70 PS5 version exists.
What reason is there (besides wanting a PS5 box on your shelf if you buy physical) to buy the more expensive one?

They tried it with the Remaster of TLOU back in the day, charging $60. People complained and they backtracked and offered for $50. It would not surprise me one bit to see Sony slapping a $70 price tag on the Remake.
Factions or whatever it ends up being called should be a budget price for sure. It would be strange to see them price that at $70.
Lol these companies are not your friend, guy. MS will also try to pull a fast one if they can get away with it, just like they tried with the XBL price increase.
I don't recall them announcing GOW was cross-gen before this post. A little bit of a bummer but that's awesome for everyone on PS4!
I mean...the 10$/€ price you pay for the upgrade is because of the price gap from each gen. They don't want people that have a PS5 buying PS4 versions of GT7 and God of War to be able to upgrade like that.
They really want to increase that price by 10$/€ and it's going to be happening with those crossgen titles.

Glad that is sorted and good to see them making it clear for future titles, should have been like that from the beginning, without all the bullshit but at least they have sorted it fast.
Yeah I mentioned in the previous thread that there was a good chance Sony would answer to the complaints, basically because they had already shown recently with the stores closure announcement that they were willing to backtrack on some things.
I mean, yes it is. It's like if Steam charged you $10 more for the same game just because you have a better graphics card
All they have to do is release exclusive content for PS5 owners.
Good to see that making your voices heard still works. People who defended Sony and were swearing up and down that they are doing the right thing, should start thanking the ones who complained for saving them $10/$20.
It's arbitrary from what we know of PlayStation's revenue since launching PS4 and from their competitor's in the same space.
This is the way(but put physical discs in your collectors editions moving forward) PS4 version is the smart play resale value will be better and the option of having both ps4 and 5 versions. Matter of fact they should just allow both PS4 and 5 versions with all of their cross gen versions ie why would you own just the ps5 version of strive if the 4 version is available to support arcade sticks dual shock 4's etc that are laying around instead of having to fork out even more for everything and lack of dual senses etc + lack of resale install base if you ever feel the need to offload it lol

Sony did the right thing here, having no upgrade path was some BS.
Now we can focus on the upcoming showcase without this disaster taking up anymore of the conversation 🙌🏽

Lmao I'm happy they saw the error of their ways. But I hope everyone is more "damn right" than "thanks Sony".
But its not the same game lol....extra work for the PS5 version...Different assets. new technology etc. you're assuming things.
Can't you upgrade from PS4 to PS5 for free and to the Deluxe Edition from inside the game?
Seriously, like they were having a record breaking profits year after year recently before the increase. so i don't understand how the price increase can be justified by some people.
If you buy a PS4 game on disc and upgrade to PS5, you still need the PS4 disc in the console yeah.
Wonder where all the people defending their initial announcement went.
A $10 USD upgrade fee still isn't all that great, should be free. The price increase on PS5 games is a move i'll never understand why people feel the need to defend in general; $125 AUD is not a reasonable RRP for the regular edition of a single video game, it's ridiculous.

And I'm really glad that they are doing it. They deserve no props for it, but I'm glad they are listening at least lol
Good on Sony to listen all of the dissenters out there as the reasoning behind the upgrade path was confusing to say the least. Good to see that any future games will have an exact policy (the $10 upgrade path from PS4 to PS5) that way everyone can be on the same page. No one person or entity can be perfect; recognizing mistakes and learning from them is great :)
Something which should have been free from the start, as the industry standard is.
Future first party being a $10 upgrade isn't acceptable either. Really hope the consumers online and the press give them enough heat to reverse that decision as well.

This post has massive "Y'all got what y'all wanted, now shut up already" energy
The nerve of these consumers to care more about their own interests than the billion dollar corporation's interests.
It's exactly the same game, just scaled like every other game that has ever released on PC.
