Following last week’s news that the Ultimate Edition of Spider-Man: Miles Morales on PS5 would include a remaster of the original PS4 Spider-Man, Sony has moved to offer clarification on the many questions still surrounding its release, confirming, among other things, that there’s no free upgrade path for existing Spider-Man owners on PS4.
The key point, though, is that while some PS4 titles will include a free upgrade path to their PS5 counterparts, this doesn’t apply to Spider-Man: Remastered, and existing Spider-Man owners will need to buy Miles Morales, which releases on 12th November, in order to get the enhanced edition.
To acquire Spider-Man: Remastered from there, players will need to purchase a paid upgrade, which will cost an additional $20 USD.
Of course, those that already own the PS4 version of Spider-Man can play the existing version on PS5, but they won’t benefit from the various additions being implemented for Remastered.
