This is obviously a question to physical disc buyers.
For now I have only bought digital patches/claimed free ps5 updates for games like Uncharted 4, Death Stranding or Final Fantasy 7 remake because of the price. 5$ is ok.
But there are more and more of these and there are few reasons why some might want to update their physical library now or in the future.
I like the preservation aspect and "ownership" aspect of physical games. I know that there are day1 patches but both ps4 releases and ps5 for most single player releases are still "playable" and fully finished games this way.
You CAN play Days Gone gold disc version. It will be pain buy you have what you paid for and what was approved for release. I just wish patches were downloadable to usb stick like it was on 360.
And I would like to replace all the ps4 labeled cases for ps5.
This time it is really weird as even some new releases like Mass Effect Trilogy, do not have ps5 versions at all. Buying ps4 game in 2021 in order to play on ps5 feels almost like a scam.
PS4 and PS5 versions are almost merging and mixing together. Many games have essentially PS5 version but only via patch like Days Gone. In that case, I would feel scammed buying ps5 disc just for the patch.
If it's a directors cut and the free update for ps4 does not bring it to the same level like Death Stranding, then it's a different story.
I understand this is a tired topic. I have like 600 games on steam... and I do not resent it. I just find it comforting to have a fully playable physical version of a game. I realize it is going away and soon we are all going to switch to fully digital, subscription based services... and I will hate it.
But for now - I like to curate my small collection of favorite games which nobody will take away from me.
And the backwards compatibility is comforting. ps4 collection have not died like it often was with gen transitions. But if ps6 won't have a disc drive, then it will be troublesome...
