Why would anyone downvote this? Don't be silly. This is great news. Thanks for sharing, darthv72.

I think it's because the main question for many was whether or not the PlayStation Plus Collection version would support the upgrade. To me it seems obvious the PlayStation Plus Extra version would, though it is nice to see confirmation it will.

That said, Bethesda highlighting the PlayStation Plus Extra version low-key confirms they do not plan on upgrading the other version given to players. Naturally some people are pissed, as even the in-game phrasing says "free for all players."

@MWeaver589 Exactly this point, it was advertised as free for everyone.

It’s just a lame solution to the problem, even if it is a solution. The comment shouldn’t be downvoted though.

I mean, it's at least something. It's 'good' news compared to the alternative. Not darth's fault even.

Also, I highly believe this will get fixed. PR nightmare if they don't since the PS store doesn't differentiate/have different text for those with or without the PS+/PS Collection version.

Is this your first time here?! And when you question the downvotes you get downvoted - I don't make the rules but that's the rules!

Even though I claimed the PS Plus version, I still have my physical GOTY PS4 edition and was able to get my PS5 upgrade a little earlier today. Physical media FTW lol. Hopefully it won't be too long before the PS Plus owners also get to upgrade their copies.

My point is that even though I claimed the digital version via my PS+ Essential sub, I was still able to upgrade to the PS5 version using my PS4 GOTY physical version that I bought years ago. Otherwise I would have had to wait for the fix to be released, however long that will take. Isn’t that what the article was about?

No, you claimed an upgrade that everyone with the physical or digital license can other then ps+ extra .
And what you hold is nothing more then a physical license.

And the article is talking about people with ps+extra who didn't own the game previously to it going on ps+ .

I bought the game years ago to ... digitally, my whole point was to your statement " physical media Ftw" . So what does physical have to do with anything?

Dude, the comment about physical ftw was supposed to be funny. Did you miss the ‘lol’ after it? That was an issue specific to my case and wasn’t meant to be taken as a stance on physical vs digital. The problem with these forums is that everyone takes everything too seriously lol.

FYI I have bought more digital games than physical over the past five years so I’m good with either format.

Should have looked into the 75% deal before the update, but I just assumed I owned it. Thankfully I found the physical disc, ha...

But wait! Listen to the dude who also commented above. You can’t be thankful that you found the physical because you don’t actually own it LOL, and you can’t be thankful that you didn’t have to wait for them to fix the issue with the PS+ version. So what was your point? 🤣😁

More like not releasing on next Xbox, all games sell better on ps due to 1 more consoles in the wild, &, 2 ps players buy more games. The fallout games take a long time to make I assume, probably want to make a good profit on that development time
