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.

@TTZ_Dipsy Thank you for clearing that up and for messaging the CM about this! I am a new PS5 user and only have BF V on my console - no cross-gen titles. I never knew that cross-gen titles offered these options for players to pick which version they wanted to play.

Will wait for a response from you/CM. Thanks!

@Prep768 We already answered this.

All you need to do is get the Gold or Ultimate Edition and then download the PS4 version of the game onto your PS5... At least that is how it works on my Xbox Series X.

I don't have a PS5 so I can't confirm it but if the PS5 has any backwards compatibility at all than that is how it should work.

If not then that is something you need to complain to Sony about 🙂
