Right before the release of GreedFall on next-gen consoles with a brand-new expansion pack titled The De Vespe Conspiracy, developer Spiders has confirmed that owners of GreedFall via PS Plus won’t be receiving the free upgrade as others will. In a reply tweet to a fan question over on Twitter, the official GreedFall account cleared the air on the matter.
Interestingly enough, GreedFall is also available on Xbox Game Pass as well. Subscribers of Xbox Game Pass will be receiving the upgrade free of cost, which has stirred up quite a bit of controversy within the community. While it could be discarded as an obvious advantage of the Xbox Smart Delivery program, which allows for a quicker upgrade process than Sony’s PS5, the developer’s decision to give players who bought GreedFall on PS4 a free upgrade further fans these flames.
Spiders is by no means the first developer to do this, as Square Enix also did the same with Final Fantasy 7 Remake, forcing PS Plus customers to buy into Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade at full price.
GreedFall is available right now on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. It launches for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S tomorrow.
The free version obtained by the PS+ subscription is not eligible for the free upgrade to the PS5 version
