This would be good news, but what about cross buy between cross gen? PS4 and PS5?

PS4 and PS5 may be part of the same overall SNY PS ecosystem, but they are different platforms. Not as different as console vs PC, but still different.
More work needs to go into porting PS5 titles to get them on PC, just like more work goes into upgrading PS4 titles to bring them up to PS5 standards.
So I don't see why this cross buy should only apply to PC and not PS4. Why hafta pay more to upgrade from a PS4 to PS5 title, if PS5 to PC is free?

There is no growth to be had on PS4 anymore, they plan to grow on PC and adding value to both PS5 and PC sounds a lot better to invest on than on PS4.

When the PS6 releases Sony will really not want to even keep giving support to the PS4 and we'll likely see the store starting to be left away and becoming a buggy mess like it was with the PSP, PS3 and PSV eventually. I don't think they want add something that might affect the PS5 as their legacy supported console.

They will care where profit is to be made, when the PS4 becomes pretty much just a cost with hardly any profit, it becomes a burden, and they can't care less about people there. PS4 games run on PS5, so if you have those you can keep playing it moving on to the PS5.

PS5 to PS6 crossbuy might be a thing, going backwards to add it to the PS4 post 2025? Not happening.
