Just offer the game for 10 dollars on PS5, like they did with the Last Of Us 2 upgrade.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
It wasn't a publisher issue, it was a Sony issue which they 'fixed', they wouldn't need to fix it if it were a publisher toggle.
After PS Plus issues, PS5 Final Fantasy 7 Remake owners can now claim Intergrade | VGC
The problem preventing them from redeeming the game has now been resolved…

Yeah, there's different versions of the same game. The PS+ one you don't own, if your sub ends so does access to it. The paid version seems to offer the update fine (it's saying I own it but I can't download it, it's probably saying that because I have the disc version somewhere but fuck knows where I've put it).It wasn't a publisher issue, it was a Sony issue which they 'fixed', they wouldn't need to fix it if it were a publisher toggle.

I'd love do to that but then I can't play with any of my friends online.

Yeah they are holding people hostage with that and cloud saves. I don't play online with the exception of Souls games, I will only need one month of Essential when Elden Ring DLC drops.

It’s literally happened since Day 1 of the console. FOUR YEARS. That’s an eternity for a bug.

I don't think so. Capcom did it properly with the PS plus versions of RE2 and re3 for PS plus extra. Re7 didn't but that was a Game from PS plus collection.
Fallout 4 for plus extra should let You have both versions.
As for me, I could grab a deal of the goty edition for $10 so I'm already downloading next gen version and dlc.

I didn't realize Bethesda ran the PS store and PS+! These acquisitions by Xbox are really getting out of hand!

Yes this happened to me with control, I accidentally redeemed the PS4 version and couldn't get the PS5 one. I may buy it on sale one day.

not sure if anyone tried, but if you try to access the Fallout 4 (PS+ version) page from the Downloads menu via browser, you get a 404. I guess that SKU does not even exist anymore, and you're not 'credited' with the PS4/PS5 one.
Meh. I was willing to give it a try just because of the update... not going to buy it.

Is this Bethesda's fault or just the way Sony's store works? Smart delivery was underrated.
Edit:
Yep, the issue was due to dumb delivery, not an attempt to double dip.

It's a longstanding issue with PS+ that has effected other games in the past which were on PS+ before they got updated.
FFVII Remake Intergrade, Greedfall and I'm sure I'm missing a few.

Yea same thing happened with FF7R. People throw a fit and then they have to work around the system.

And Sony doesnt really respond publicly to anyone so Bethesda is handling PS social media customer service when its not even their issue.

Right it's a parent company issue that wouldn't of happened before ms bought them.

So it was MS’s fault when the same thing happened with FF7R and RE7?

It's probably an entitlement issue. You own the PS+ version as long as you are a subscriber to the service and my guess is there is no way to replicate that entitlement to the upgrade version of the game. They'd either need to let you outright own the upgrade (unlikely) or add the upgrade to the PS+ service.

So an issue other devs were able to work around years ago.....but Bethesda is having to figure out right now? Eh....ok, I guess.

It's a PS+ licensing issue.
Third parties have had it for games that have been on both PS+ and GP.
It's an issue that happens when a previous version of the game has already been redeemed on PS+.
If a tightly knit exclusive game like FFVII can have the issue, I'm not sure why we're trying to blame Bethesda here.

Was it fixed with FFVII?

Yes, by Sony. The same way this issue will probably be fixed once they work around the licensing / entitlement issues.

it was a publisher choice, Square was saying that before FFVII Remake even went up on PS+
Final Fantasy 7 Remake PS Plus Version Won't Be Upgradeable to PS5 Version - IGN
The PS4 version of Final Fantasy 7 Remake is coming to PS Plus in March – but it won't upgrade freely to the new PS5 version.
it didn’t come to PS+ users until much later (~6 months after the free upgrade was available for paid users)
Final Fantasy 7 Remake from PS Plus receives free PS5 upgrade
What a nice holiday gift from Square Enix.
www.cnet.com
the reasoning as I understand it is because if they give a free upgrade to the PS5 version of a PS4 game which the user got via PS+, instead of being tied to their PS+ sub the user now flat out owns the PS5 version (this happened when I upgraded my copy of Subnautica which I had from PS+ but it’s now no longer tied to my PS+ sub in my library)

Well.....granted it is a shitty system Sony has in place, but this has been known for a while. Frankly, it seems like this version was an afterthought.
If you think it's a PS+ issue then how could it have been fixed several times but still happen? It's the publisher that needs to enable it for their games and often they don't realise they need to enable it.
