The new Iki Island expansion sounds awesome, but what a terrible way to turn this into a negative story with your PS5 upgrade path bullshit for what is a really good game.
No wonder other publishers like EA or Take Two will consider doing the same. Sony is setting a terrible example here.

For those who didn’t follow along the various upgrade paths and prices. GoT is original game. GoT DC is the new directors cut edition. PS4 and PS5 are the respective editions.
It’s a great game if somewhat repetitive (depends on how much content you want to go through), and this expansion should be good as well. Sony is getting negative press that could have easily been avoidable if they had done a free upgrade like so many others have.
Honestly, Sony always been doing stuff like this. I don’t know if oyu guys remember, but they had that scummy online pass nonsense to combat against used game market. So basically they would charge a fee of like $10 to play online, but the pass did come with the game if it was new, but buy it used you had to pay $10
Bad example and there is no reason to charge 10$ more for a next gen version, really hope MS never follows and that more companies stick to last gen pricing.
Nobody noticed that no Pc version of the same games have had next gen taxes yet? As far as I know they get the exact same version graphically as consoles. The 10$ console tax is bullshit l.
Kind of a repeat of spiderman remastered being locked behind Miles Morales 50 dollar pay wall. Albeit here it’s a little less shittier but it’s still a stupid ass scummy thing to do.
So I just bought GoT on my PS5 a few months ago after it was patched to 60 fps. Do I own the PS4 version or the PS5 version? I have no idea and don’t know how to check. Ha.
You own the ps4 version, I think. Cuz it was just running in “enhanced BC” mode till this new native ps5 patch. But I don’t know, not sure, there lies the problem to begin with. No such bullshit to keep pace with on Xbox with smart delivery, but that was just marketing, amirite
I think you own the PS4 version with the 60fps patch. If you want to upgrade to the PS5 version, you will need to spend 30 bucks (20 for the expansion, and 10 for the upgrade).
