Thanks to @CloudMcRip @TTZ_Dipsy and everyone else who replied. @TTZ_Dipsy I assume that you have play tested the game on PS5 and that is where you got your insights from? So, the offerings which have the Cross-Gen Bundle will allow PS5 players to choose which version they would like to play. As I stated earlier, I don't mind playing 64 player games as long as I play with my squad.
It would be great if DICE could corroborate this, so that its official.

The Cross-gen bundle is meant more for old-gen players and acts as a free upgrade voucher if/when you're able to snag a next-gen console.
*I haven't playtested the game yet* - It requires a full download of each version, but every multigenerational game I have on my PS5 allows me to choose which version I play (to be fair, most games also allow cross gen play), so I guess technically, my post is based off an educated guess.
Having said that, I have pinged the CM about this and he'll ask around so hang tight.
One month later...............

I'm not sure how much more clear it can be made, but yes. Only the digital PS5 versions of the game have the cross-gen bundle. The physical copies do not. .....so, unless something has changed, you would need to buy the PS4 copy of the game to play with your PS4 friends. You wouldn't need to buy the PS5 digital copy since you already have it. .....just the PS4 version.
