Does owning Nhl 21 on PS4 mean owning it on ps5?

If I buy nhl 21 on the ps4, will I be able to have on ps5 or I will need to buy it twice? (CM: Edited to update thread title to match thread topic)

    No. You just need it once as it will play on both PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X. Unless you want it for both PlayStation and Xbox. In that case, you would need to buy it twice.

There was no snark intended at all. I was trying to be clear on this so I'm very sorry that's not how it was interpreted. NHL 21 is forward compatible with the new consoles. You only need to buy it once unless you want it for both PlayStation and Xbox. Then, you would need to buy it once for each console.

Unfortunately this isn’t the case. I have the digital version of nhl21 and I got the ps5 today. I downloaded the game and it says in order to play I must purchase it on this console

    Are you gamesharing NHl 21 with a friend by chance? It's fine if you are but they'll need to activate their account on your PS5 if you want to retain the ability to play.

    I also have a digital version that was redeemed on PS4 and I can play that on PS5
