Sony has confirmed that players who own Marvel's Spider-Man on PS4 won't get a free upgrade to the remastered version on PS5.
Since the announcement that Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition will also include a copy of Marvel's Spider-Man: Remastered on PS5, there has been some confusion over all the different versions. Sony has attempted to clear this up in a statement to Kotaku. Here's how it boils down in Sony's words - we've put the game titles in bold to try and make it a little easier to read.
"Marvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered is an enhanced version of Marvel’s Spider-Man, and is included as part of Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition for the PlayStation 5. In addition, players who purchase Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales on PlayStation 4 can upgrade at no additional cost to the PS5 version of Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and can take advantage of a paid-upgrade to download Marvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered."
"There are no plans currently to offer Marvel’s-Spider-Man: Remastered as a standalone. Players with a copy of Marvel’s Spider-Man for PS4 can purchase Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition to experience Marvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered on PS5. Marvel’s Spider-Man for PS4 also will be backwards compatible on PS5."
It isn't the clearest explanation, but essentially, if you own Spider-Man on PS4, you get nothing extra. If you buy Miles Morales for PS4, you can upgrade for free to Miles Morales on PS5, but you won't get Spider-Man: Remastered, or you can choose a paid upgrade to get the Ultimate Edition, which includes the PS5 version of both games. Finally, you can just buy the Mile Morales Ultimate Edition on PS5 and get everything. Bada bing bada boom.
While a lot of games are offering free and simple upgrades from PS4 to PS5, Spider-Man is definitely one of the more complicated scenarios, as Sony wants to give players more incentive to buy the $70 version at the PS5 launch. We also recently found out that Spider-Man PS4 save files wouldn't work with the PS5 version. It's certainly become a bit of a tangled web.
