If you own Gears 5 on Xbox One, you’ll get access to the Xbox Series X/S version for free. Gears 5 received a substantial graphical overhaul for Xbox Series X that included improved shadows, increased details, a 120fps mode in multiplayer, and it didn’t cost a penny for existing owners. Let’s compare Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut to Gears 5, a title that was released in September 2019. Was it really unreasonable to think that Sony and Sucker Punch might give the PS5-specific upgrades to existing owners for free? As we’ll see below, maybe, but only because Sony’s approach doesn’t compare favorably to how Microsoft has handled Xbox Series X upgrades of its first-party Xbox One games. Also, the Iki Island DLC isn’t available to purchase as a standalone option – it’s only available as part of the Director’s Cut. However, on PS5, the Director’s Cut upgrade costs $29.99, which means players are being charged an additional $9.99 for the PlayStation 5-specific features mentioned above. If you buy the PS4 version of the Director’s Cut and pick up a PS5 at a later date, you’ll be able to upgrade for $9.99.įrom the pricing Sony has provided, then, we can deduce that the Iki Island and supplementary content that was released during Ghost of Tsushima’s year on sale is worth $19.99 to the company’s coffers. Those who own the game will need to pay $19.99 to upgrade to the Director’s Cut on PlayStation 4, and $29.99 to do so on PS5. You’re buying a brand-new game after all.īut what about those who already own Ghost of Tsushima? Well, this is where things get a bit… cheeky. If you haven’t played Ghost of Tsushima before, you can pick up the Director’s Cut for $59.99 on PS4 and $69.99 on PS5, which is par for the course. So what’s the situation with the Director’s Cut, and is it a free upgrade? Unfortunately not.
