What is the difference between ps4 version and ps5 version I see theres one for each available to buy?

Do I get the free ps5 upgrade with all the ps5 benefits?.. or is it a downgraded ps5 version?..

It'd be a full upgrade to the PS 5 version. If it's the disk version:

Upgrade to PlayStation®5 Version: Assassin's Creed Valhalla PlayStation®4 game on Blu-ray Disc™ must be kept inserted in a PlayStation®5 console to play the corresponding Assassin's Creed Valhalla PlayStation®5 digital version at no additional cost, when available.

PlayStation 5: Ray tracing on PlayStation 5 will immerse players in a city full of digital screens, holograms, and neon lights, while players can also take advantage of the Tempest 3D Audio engine to bring London to life by hearing every passing car, talking pedestrian, or drone flying overhead. Thanks to the ultra-high speed SSD, loading times will be dramatically reduced, allowing for even quicker fast-travel and seamless high-speed drives across London. Adaptive triggers enable players to enjoy hand-tuned responses, elevating the visceral feeling of high-tension moments. And lastly, you can upgrade your PlayStation 4 copy of the game to the PlayStation 5** version at no additional cost.

Upgrade your PS4 copy to PS5 for free

Aye I saw this so I assume both copies are the exact same?..

I was thinking the free upgrade may mean just that game was playable on ps5... so I assume graphics wise both copies will run the same on ps5 then?

The new wolfenstein games weren't really good wouldn't miss them but that what I think.

They're one of the few games that used to give me motion sickness so haven't even tried one in about 5-6 years.

FPSes on PS Now of note:

Doom (2016)
WOLFENSTEIN: THE NEW ORDER
WOLFENSTEIN: THE OLD BLOOD
WOLFENSTEIN 2: THE NEW COLOSSUS

Killzone Shadowfall (PS4 launch title, not great but not as bad as some say. )

Dishonored 2 - FPS perspective but more a steam punk stealth 'em up. Excellent game.


Not on PS Now but free to play is Destiny 2


Adventure wise (well Action Adventure or Action RPG anyway):

Bloodbourne
The Surge
Lords of the Fallen

If you're just referring to PS in general, your best bet would be to sign up to PS+ to get access to the PS+ Collection, some of the best PS4 games.

Bloodborne
Days Gone
Detroit: Become Human
God of War
Infamous Second Son
Ratchet and Clank
The Last Guardian
The Last of Us Remastered
Until Dawn
Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End
Batman: Arkham Knight
Battlefield 1
Call of Duty: Black Ops III – Zombies Chronicles Edition
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy
Fallout 4
Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition
Monster Hunter: World
Mortal Kombat X
Persona 5
Resident Evil 7 biohazard

Some amazing games there that'll definitely keep you busy, especially if you skipped the PS4 generation.

For anyone switching from Xbox or even just coming back to a console after skipping a generation, signing up to PS Plus to avail of that collection is a no brainer imo, some incredible games in there for anyone with a Plus subscription.

For those looking to get the camera adapter for the PS4 Camera to use PSVR on PS5. The page is now live to request it. Although it's not fully functional yet. It might send you in a loop. But I'd imagine it'll work properly soon.

Legend. Was looking all over cos there was a link on the main playstation site that pointed to the form for each country but it 404d for Ireland. I'd even emailed Sony Ireland France Germany and UK lol.

Got it in now. Can not wait!!!

Just PS5 at the moment

I've seen some talk that there'll be more Demon's Souls info at 1, guess we don't have long to find out if that's true

This is exactly where I am. I'm not jumping at too many launch titles and Cyberpunk is pushed back so I'll probably be taking a look at this first, most likely God of War.

I KNOW I don't have the patience for endless dying, I KNOW I didn't play much of the original at all because it just didn't do it for me, and yet that game looks so amazing I'm wondering when I'll get it

I've never played the game so I could be totally wrong but does the gameplay and movement of characters look kinda stiff from those videos or is just me ?

asked this seperately but maybe better asked in here:

I see you can get a one year sub on cd keys for 25 euro but that can only be used on a US account, do people set one up? or is it not possible?

Anyway to get an irish sub cheaper?

Brief video showing how the triggers implement the resistance features. That's pretty damn cool.

I've always had a separate login with a US account an EU account and an Asian account.

That way you can get the best offers on all the stores.

Signing up to plus on anything other then my main account though I never bothered.

Will you be able to turn that off? I can see that feature being an absolute nightmare with my carpal tunnel.

You get deals on Plus officially usually at some stage during the year from Sony themselves.

I've never got one from a third party site but im sure they do at certain times as well if you key an eye on them.

It's down to a game by game basis whether or not it's implemented, so it really would depend on the developer. Nothing official has been said about being able to disable it as far as I know.

I think it's a case of the detail and lighting being brought to modern levels, but the underlying animations remaining more true to the original, which is probably necessary to keep the gameplay the same.

I've never played it either though, everything I heard about it just puts me off, I don't see the appeal of extremely high difficulty games, I have limited enough time as it is without having to replay sections over and over.

I’m starting to get properly excited for the console now. The controller along with 3D audio is going to be a welcomed change to just pushing for better graphics as most gens have done

I hadn't pulled the trigger on any accessories or games as wasn't sure when the console was going to arrive with the lack of the Gamestop updates. Slightly regretting that now.

Should have picked up the Pulse 3d headset and controller charging station before they ran out of stock everywhere.
May figure out what games to pick up now, could go the download from play store route.
