@HillbillyJohnI dont think that is true. If its on the PS5 your locked to the PS5 version. I could be wrong..
You are wrong and @HillbillyJohn was right.
Initially, you had to buy the one of premium editions (Gold, etc.) to get the cross-gen bundle which includes both versions. ....PS4 and PS5. However, EA changed their minds after a lot of backlash and included the cross-gen bundle in the Standard Edition too. It's in the product descriptions on the PS Store.
You can't play with friends on PS4 while in the PS5 version. You have to be in the PS4 version to do so which comes with the PS5 copy of the game.
The problem is you have to use 2x the harddrive space just to play with last gen console users. It's a real kick in crotch for PS5 and series s users with their limited SSDs.
- @xXHappy_PuppyXx Exactly. This really is not an acceptable solution.
Past Battlefield titles have had different versions of the maps in the same game (64 player, 32 player, etc). Why doesn't BF2042? Why does the PS5 version not also have the 64 player maps included? Then PS5 players could queue up for the 64 player versions with their PS4 friends and not have to swap executables.

It doesn't use the limited, backward compatibility aspects you get in some PS4 versions of games.
@Kean_1111What does that have to do with it? I have the PS5 version of Avengers and can play with my PS4 friends without swapping executables. You play on the same maps with the same characters, each optimized for the system they run on. Pretty sure COD works the same way. There's no gameplay additions to the PS5 version of BF2042 other than map size.
- @ArchAngeL-PCX They do have the same maps, the solo/ coop are 64 player versions and portal has all the smaller maps as well.
It makes no sense why they did this to the community.@xXHappy_PuppyXxI agree, it makes no sense at all. Portal at the least should be cross gen playable. That alone would be huge since its very likely many will just stay in Portal where there's a lot more maps and variety.
