@Kean_1111They would likely just get access to a digital version of the Ps4 version.
Same as when you upgrade a Ps4 disc game to the Ps5 version. When you upgrade a Ps4 game you just get a download of the full Ps5 version

Unless something has changed very recently, you cannot "upgrade" a physical disk copy of the PS4 version of the game and get the PS5 version. That would require buying any one of the PS5 digital versions of the game for full price which would come with both regardless. In other words, you can't buy the PS4 disk and then buy the PS5 version for a discounted price. .....there is no cross-gen upgrade for the disk version as far as I know.
@Ruslan-kbr was asking about their friend upgrading their PS5 disk version to the Ultimate edition. Now, if they mean the "Year 1 Pass + Ultimate Pack Bundle PS4 & PS5" that's available to owners of the game, I highly doubt that contains any of the game files. It's an upgrade for people who already own the game(s). What it says it contains is simply the Y1 Pass and the bundels (skins, etc.), digital artbook, soundtrack and so on.
Now, if they meant that their friend was going to purchase the Ultimate Edition of the game, yeah, that would include both the PS5 and PS4 version of the game just as the rest of the digital editions do.
@Kean_1111Nothing has changed, you have alwys been able to do that.
I have literally not bought the Ps5 version of any game that was on both system yet except for battlefield.
I always buy the Ps4 disc versions as its usually a bit cheaper, and then use the free Ps5 upgrade option.
It has been working like that since the day the Ps5 was released.
EDIT: I just realised I misunderstood what you were saying. I thought you ment you couldn't upgrade Ps4 disc versions in general, but I see now that you were talking about battlefield specifically. Im not sure about that. The upgrade that is on the store now is titled something like "season pass year 1 + ultimate edition upgrade" The ultimate edition contained both versions, so it would be pretty misleading if upgrading didn't give you access to both versions.

Yes, I'm talking about Battlefield and specifically to their concern about upgrading to the cross-gen bundle from their physical copy of the PS5 game.
I don't see why anyone would assume the Y1 Pass and Ultimate Bundle contains one or both of the full games though. It's an upgrade for those who already own one or both version of the game. It's not a stand alone product and says nothing about providing a PS4 / PS5 copy of the game. .....just the pass and bundles, etc.
Yeah, it actually lists what comes with the purchase. ....the pass, bundles, digital soundtrack, etc.
