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.
In a statement provided to Kotaku, Sony broke down somewhat convoluted ins and outs of its Spider-Man remaster in more detail; 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 purchase Miles Morales, which releases on 12th November, to receive in order to acquire the enhanced edition.
That’s a fairly straightforward process on Sony’s next-gen machine, given that the only way for PS5 owners to get Spider-Man: Remastered is by purchasing the £69.99 Ultimate Edition of Miles Morales. The situation on Sony’s current-gen console is a little more involved, however; firstly, those that buy the PS4 version of Miles Morales (which has no Ultimate Edition option) do get the PS5 version at no extra cost, but only the equivalent of PS5’s standard version.
