With PS5 stock still proving difficult to get hold of, it doesn't seem like the right time to start heavy-handedly ushering players into the next generation of games when logistically so many can't even get hold of the hardware needed to play these titles – and they shouldn't be penalized financially for remaining on PS4.
UNCHARTED4 PS4 UPGRADE
Now, it seems Sony is once again trying to push players to upgrade to PS5 – I just wish it would make up its mind, because I'm getting whiplash here.
UNCHARTED4 PS4 PRO
But then, earlier this year, Sony had something of a u-turn, revealing that games that were previously set to be PS5 exclusives would be coming to PS4 too. When we first learned about PS4 Pro, we were excited to see how we could drive new levels of fidelity and immersion in our games.We’re taking our first step by introducing day-one PS4 Pro support for Uncharted 4, The Last of Us Remastered, and The Last of Us: Left Behind. Sony's constant u-turnsįor me, the most frustrating part of this is that Sony can't seem to make its mind up about whether or not it wants to shove people into the next generation.īack in 2020, Sony Interactive Entertainment boss Jim Ryan said "we believe in generations", suggesting that the company was going to push players into the next generation through PS5-exclusive titles. Whereas, if Uncharted 4 or The Lost Legacy was still available on the PlayStation Store for PS4, you could pick up one of the individual games for around $15 and then upgrade – meaning you're only spending around $25.
UNCHARTED4 PS4 FULL
You can either buy the current PS4 bundle and do the $10 upgrade (that takes it to full price), or simply shell out the full price now. So really, unless you already have one of the two games, you're being shoehorned into paying $49.99 / £44.99 to play on PS5 – no matter what way you look at it. Shortly after that announcement, Sony removed the individual titles from the PlayStation Store, leaving only the Uncharted: A Thief’s End & Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Digital Bundle for digital purchase. Alongside the announcement of the Uncharted remastered collection's release date and enhancements, Sony announced that those who own the PS4 version of Uncharted 4 or Uncharted: The Lost Legacy could upgrade to the PS5 version for $10 / £10 – otherwise you have to pay $49.99 / £44.99 for the collection. While that's a bit of a pain, that's not the most jarring part for me. It feels like a costly penalty.įortunately, you can still pick up physical copies fairly cheaply, but if you want to play digital versions then you either need to purchase the Uncharted: A Thief’s End & Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Digital Bundle, or have already purchased the games individually (or picked Uncharted 4 up as one of the PS Plus free games), or you need to upgrade to PS5 and get the remastered collection. Already own Uncharted 4 but not The Lost Legacy? Tough – you need to buy the bundle of both games to play the latter title, even if you don't need it.
