Hi all does anyone have a suggestion for me about this? I have scrolled through comments but it doesn’t look like anyone’s asked already.. So, I bought the Crash Bandicoot 4 game on disc when it released in October 2020 and played it on my PS4. In June 2021 I was lucky enough to be able to buy a PS5 (disc version). I then claimed the free PS5 upgrade of Crash 4 where it requires you to insert the PS4 disc in order for it to work (fair enough). I would like to be able to play the PS5 version disc-less now that it is a PS plus monthly game and I have PS Plus Essential tier. So, I deleted Crash from my PS5 (but not the save data) and then went to the PS Plus app via the PS5 console menu, selected the game and waited for it to download. However, when I try to launch the PS5 version it still asks me to insert the disc? Am I forced to use the disc forever or is there something else I can try?

What’s the roadmap for Classics? Is this going to be another situation like the PS2 on PS4 games where it looked good at first and just stopped abruptly? I’m already concerned I’ve wasted money on a subscription to Premium until we get some real info on what the road ahead looks like.

I am not able to even download the PS4 version of Crash 4 and the PS5 version still tells me I need the PS4 disc to play my download. You guys still need to fix this issue without having to call customer service. You should make it so if it is offered via PlayStation Plus it should be labeled as that version to download. This also goes for other games that we may have used the free PS5 digital upgrade and we have since gotten rid of the PS4 version and later picked up the PS4/PS5 digital game which offers both versions but the PS5 version still need the PS4 disc. This has been a problem since launch and I guess not enough people are talking about it so it gets fixed.

yeah, i give up. i’m not gonna bother checking the listings for new games, hoping those you’ve advertised are going to be there because… EARTH TO SOYNY! YOU HAVE DONE FALSE ADVERTISING WITH THIS PS+ TIER STUFF AND EVERYONE KNOWS YOU HAVE!

you have REVIVED the region locks we thought you had ended with the ps3 with this ps+ extra and premium stuff.

and, even the games listed ON THE PSN WEBSITE that have no * next to their name noting that they may not be available in all regions are STILL REGION LOCKED AND NOT ALL WERE ADDED AS YOU SAID THEY WOULD BE.

and everywhere i’ve checked…news sites parroting the release lineups… a rare few websites actually providing GOOD coverage on what actually was or wasn’t added…

almost NO coverage of any kind from anyone on youtube except for less than 5 youtubers… there’s been a slight rumbling about this on reddit…

you’re just not keeping your word which i, honestly, should expect of ALL video game companies at this point.

and i’m not super rich. i can’t buy a ps5 from scalpers (yes, scalpers, NOT YOU! because ps5 is literally” Power to the Scalpers!” and NOT “power to the players!”). the scalpers who were thanking you for helping THEIR side of the market. but what do you care? money is money, right? who cares WHO bought the consoles as long as you get more money out of it.

i’m just…just thinking about this pisses me off because i really SHOULDN’T expect better of game companies. i shouldn’t get excited or hyped or hopeful anymore because that only leads to disappointment.

that was what my mistake was. i was hopeful that i’d finally get to play one of the few From Soft games i’ve been unable to play…nope…not happening because region lock BS that should be dead now yet has been revived by YOU, soyny. and i’m gonna keep calling you soyny because that’s as much respect as you deserve.

can’t even get the games you had listed your website out on your own launch lineup out on a purely DIGITAL SERVICE…

Assuming we do get Dino crisis, resistance, and ridge racer next month that classics list doesn’t look as bad as people claim. I didn’t even include any of the non classic first party stuff and I only included stuff I hadn’t played and that list doesn’t look horrible. I just think people are uninformed. If you were someone like me seriously contemplating Assassin’s Creed Valhalla on PS5 and guardians of the Galaxy on PS5 but never purchase them those two games alone are almost worth it. WRC10 is Big Time. I never played Red Dead 2 and the game never really is less than 25 or $30 on sale. There are some great third party games.

I love how everybody on Xbox freaked out when guardians of the Galaxy was added to Game pass but a couple months later it comes to PlayStation Plus extra and nobody cares LOL.

And Shadow Warrior 3 is basically new. Stray is being added day one in July. This service is off to a great start. I laugh at the fools who said it was simply just a rebranding. Obviously if you don’t have every first party game or are new to PlayStation at the very least extra is a no-brainer. Even if you only have half the first party games. Or if you have all the first party games unless you’ve played an ungodly amount of games there are so many gems third party and indie.

Then the fact of the matter that PlayStation made it so easy to upgrade it’s like $40 for me to upgrade which will almost cover the cost of stray alone. That’s a game I was getting regardless. Quite honestly the cost to upgrade at $40 is worth it for stray and resistance retribution alone for me personally. Assuming we get retribution next month and it has trophies those two games alone are worth $40. Then if Dino crisis has trophies good Lord. I love physical media and I’m not a huge fan of services but the bottom line is day one of the new PlayStation service is impressive. The library will only improve.

Put My Hero Academia The Strongest Hero app in the Sony PlayStation 4 store for free not the essential store

I’ve been out of the loop for a while. I had 260+ PS2 games and loved every minute! The PS3 had a tough time out of the gate, so I passed. By the time PS4 came out, laptops could at least play the latest Tomb Raider & Resident Evil. But it just wasn’t the same. With the release of Gran Turismo 7, a Sony exclusive, I had to jump back in. However, it seems like PS5 is just a more expensive PS4. Very few games and those that are available have the disclaimer of needing updates because they are PS4 games. How is it that July has new releases for PS4 when the PS5 has been out since 2020? What is up with all that?
