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.
I'm not familiar with the Avengers game but as I understand it, that was a PS4 title where they later offered a PS5 enhanced update, right? This is common for a lot of games where they use the PS5's backward compatibility Boost abilities to achieve better graphics, frame rates, etc. It essentially provides more benefits to PS5 owners of PS4 titles than just backward compatibility. They are not next gen, PS5 developed games though.
Unless something has changed (and maybe it has), I don't know of any games developed exclusively for next gen (at least in the case of PS5) that will allow cross-generational play. However, I do know there are games that are developed for PS4 with PS5 enhancements where both platforms can play together. There is a difference there though and which is why I'm guessing DICE had to provide two copies for PS5 players.
@Kean_1111 True. Avengers is a PS5 upgrade. There aren't many games exclusive to PS5, but those that are doing things that only are possible on PS5. The rifts in Ratchet and Clank for instance are not possible on PS4. Returnal and Ratchet are making heavy use of the Dualsense features as is Astrobot. I didn't see anything like that on the PS5 beta for BF2042.
IDK They made a PS4 version of this game. Given that COD Vanguard is also cross gen, it seems like they didn't use much foresight here.
