Is it really $10 extra for the PS5 update? Oh, dear. I guess no one's laughing at the significance of MS' smart delivery anymore.

Spiderman PS5 upgrade was free. God of War PS5 upgrade was free, etc.
It's not a blanket wide policy so far, but something they decided in particular for Ghost of Tsushima.


GOW isn't a native PS5 upgrade, it's still running as a native PS4 game but the framerate in 4k mode has been uncapped and some minor dualsense support has been added (so good enough).

Miles Morales was a free upgrade, however Marvels Spiderman (2018) has no direct upgrade path, only one if you've purchases Miles Morales. You can pay $20 to get Marvel Spiderman Remastered if you have Miles Morales on PS4/PS5 or get the Miles Ultimate edition for $70 (convoluted I know)

Iki Island isn't a stand-alone title like Miles. Instead its just DLC and they're only releasing the complete package of GOT Directors cut at $70 for PS5 or $60 PS4. Miles Morales Ultimate edition was also $70 on PS5 and not available as a physical purchase for PS4 (so this is in line between both games). Again, If you want to upgrade  the original spiderman you pay $20 but only after you purchases Miles....

Essentially what this boils down to is sony bending over backwards to mandate that $70 price tag for all full-length PS5 releases. They don't want people to be able to use the cheaper PS4 versions as a way to bypass the higher PS5 entry price of the full package. Its completely unnecessary and a convoluted mess.
