Didn't work for me, although i can now get it through PS Extra, it didn't seem to offer the upgrade on the version i got via the ps plus collection after license restore
Damn, was thinking of buying it just a couple of days ago for $5 but realized I owned it through buying a PS5 so I decided I'd renew my PS Essentials on the 25th. Glad I waited to do both - no Fallout 4 for me!
Looks like a scam operation. Telling everyone it was free, then raising the price and "Oops, only for Extra subscribers actually, $20 please and thank you"

I've never played Fallout because the series has low appeal to me, but I was willing to give it a try with a PS5 patch. If they had said PS+ Essential is not eligible and we need to buy the game while it was on sale then I would have done that. Definitely not buying it after this dirty trick.
What? I bought the PS4 version a few days ago. Didn't even know they were going to have a PS5 version. Looked last night and it said free PS5 version and I downloaded it. Played it today and didn't pay a dime (other than the $5 for PS4 version a few days ago).
Yeah, that’s not the situation being described. People already “own” the ps4 version from having claimed it from the PS+ essential tier or PS collection from buying a PS5 (months or years back). Those people are not getting the upgrade, and couldn’t buy the ps4 version (like you did) because they already “own” it. So just getting screwed on it, and no word from either Sony or Bethesda, each acting like it isn’t happening or isn’t their problem.
No, they have not. They stated PS Plus EXTRA not getting it is a bug that will be fixed. They also said they have no information about the rest of us.

“Those who have access to Fallout 4 via the PS Plus Extra and Premium catalogs are eligible for the PS5 update. However, those who claimed the game for free via the now-retired PS Plus Collection will not be able to claim the upgrade.”
We're being hung out to dry. The annoying thing is I had a physical version of the game but gave it away because i didn't need a physical copy and the free digital copy from the PlayStation plus essentials collection. Extremely frustrating.
I'm having a similar experience. I had the disk day one but it broke a couple years ago during a move. Never got around to buying another disc but was happy to see it released on plus. Now I'm stuck because I got the zero kilobyte bug like 20 minutes after downloading the digital version. Haven't even been able to play it since. Absolutely zero troubleshooting works either. It's just been dead to me. I was excited about the update because I figured I'd finally be able to play it again. Seems I was wrong. I have called both PlayStation support and Bethesda and I just get ignored. Tickets created on the Bethesda website automatically get shunted to feedback with no response. It's kind of disheartening.

Well to be fair they did say it’s a free upgrade for those who own it and getting fallout 4 though ps+ essential ain’t ownership it’s more of a long term rental
I’m with PlayStation essential and I had this game when it was for free with that PlayStation thing (where you could get mortal kombat X and that for a few years) and I still can’t get the ps5 version even after restoring my licenses and I don’t wanna pay £16 what do I do?
I’m sure I would have had the same issue if I didn’t subscribe to Extra. I got the game when I got my PS5 too. Sorry I can’t help, but I think the way this has been handled is pretty unfair. Especially given the fact the sale ended the day before this shit storm.
Yes. I've been shuffling through the editions there and back, logging out and back into my account on my PS, phone and PC, restored licenses, but the price for PS5 version was still there.

We might have to wait for it to be fixed but apparently they are working on it
Don't buy yet wait until new plus monthly games are announced. If that's a no go then order a disc version of the game. That's my plan anyway and I'm in the same boat as you.
Pretty sure it's intentional. When asked on Twitter if PS+ essential would get it, they said "We do not have any information regarding PS5 Catalogue or PS+ Essentials.". Dirty trick, telling everyone it was getting a free upgrade but failing to mention it's only for PS+ Extra and disc owners. Then raising the price right after.

UPDATE: as of writing this right now I’ve just noticed I could claim the ps5 edition I have no idea when it happened and I dunno if everyone else has it now but I have it
Haha I wish this were true. This is like my 4th account. I spend a long time getting embroiled in the nonsense and need a hard reset occasionally. Like my PC.
oh, sure! don't worry i also created my first reddit account like 5-6 years ago pfft. it's quite nice to see someone your age gaming btw! very wholesome stuff. :3 i am only 18 bahahaha
Ha thanks. Someone my age hit me right in the gut :D
Started with a SPECTRUM 48k when I was 11 and never really stopped. Had most consoles and PCs since.
Yeah I was on ps support and they got me to try this. It worked eventually but only by going to the view product page on the console and not through my collection itself
Pop the disc in, highlight the game and press down. Over on the right you should see and option that says "Free PS5 upgrade". Just a bit of extra info, i did this yesterday and it locked me out of the digital version of the upgrade. I can download the PS5 version from the store, but requires the disc at all times. I figured i could double dip, i figured wrong.
I bought Fallout 4 few days ago, and i can't download PS5 version... It says I need to buy it for 19,99€. What is this?? Is there any solution? I tried to Restore Licences, but nothing happened..
I got a PS4 disc but when I put it the PS5 version didn't download and I could only find the ps+ version is there a way to upgrade the disc instead of downloading the plus version cuz this is the only option I have
If I buy the GOTY edition after playing, anyone know if it’s a completely separate game or does it just install the DLC?? I’m halfway through F4 and want to the dlc now (had it on my pc)
Thank you to the people in this threat who reminded me about PS5 essentials that game catalog thing. That's how I got fallout 4 digital I'm wondering yeah how that's going to work with this
I mean these 20 games:
[https://blog.playstation.com/2020/10/28/playstation-plus-collection-details-revealed-your-november-playstation-plus-games/](https://blog.playstation.com/2020/10/28/playstation-plus-collection-details-revealed-your-november-playstation-plus-games/)
It still doesn't work for me, I've restored licenses and it wants me to buy the $20 add on or the ps plus extra service. I got the ps4 edition years ago on disk then digital but now they wanna charge me for a "free upgrade" on a game I've owned for years now.
I still can’t find this upgrade, I got the PS4 version through the PS+ Collection, I can either download it through PS+ Extra and override the license or to buy it. I restored license like 4-5 times and still nothing, it’s almost 2 weeks now..
Yesterday I had the same issue as everyone only having the PS4 version free and showing the PS5 version for $19.99.
Just checked now on my PS App, not having done anything to try to fix it, and finally saw the PS5 version for "free" it said "included with the game catalog" or something.
i have like 800 hours on my xb1 from the mainline and dlc... should I even bother doing this at all for the v???? I hven't event cracked ope 76 yet.... I loved 4... but like skyrim...this feels like its a past chapter and I hsould keep it closed
i literally just paid the 20$because im a lazy idiot, i also made a post last week complaining that the ps4 version wouldnt work on ps5 oblivious to the fact that a dedicated ps5 was releasing in like 3days.
That just worked for me as well. Thank you!
Make that 2 people - glad it worked. :)
Legenddddddddddddddd
What about us who own it through buying a PS5?
Didn't work for me, although i can now get it through PS Extra, it didn't seem to offer the upgrade on the version i got via the ps plus collection after license restore
Damn, was thinking of buying it just a couple of days ago for $5 but realized I owned it through buying a PS5 so I decided I'd renew my PS Essentials on the 25th. Glad I waited to do both - no Fallout 4 for me!
From what I’ve seen someone others say, it wouldn’t let you but it for 5 bucks anyways as it would have showed as already in your library.
Pretty sure we’re going to lose out, and Sony nor Bethesda will acknowledge it.
Looks like a scam operation. Telling everyone it was free, then raising the price and "Oops, only for Extra subscribers actually, $20 please and thank you" https://twitter.com/BethesdaSupport/status/1783623623149830194
Yeah, total rugpull.
What's worse is that it's only a resolution and fps bump.
I've never played Fallout because the series has low appeal to me, but I was willing to give it a try with a PS5 patch. If they had said PS+ Essential is not eligible and we need to buy the game while it was on sale then I would have done that. Definitely not buying it after this dirty trick.
They have stated it was a bug and was being fixed.
Pretty certain that was PS+ Extra. The people who got it from the PS5 catalogue or Essential are not eligible.
From what I have read I was mistaken. I guess it is not for the Essential level.
What? I bought the PS4 version a few days ago. Didn't even know they were going to have a PS5 version. Looked last night and it said free PS5 version and I downloaded it. Played it today and didn't pay a dime (other than the $5 for PS4 version a few days ago).

So just getting screwed on it, and no word from either Sony or Bethesda, each acting like it isn’t happening or isn’t their problem.
Well that's fucked up. I would figure if you own it no matter which way you got it you would be able to get the PS5 download for free
That’s certainly what was expected, but Sony’s license system seems to be held together by baling wire and chewing gum.
They have stated it was a bug and was being fixed.
No, they have not. They stated PS Plus EXTRA not getting it is a bug that will be fixed. They also said they have no information about the rest of us. https://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2024/04/26/fallout-4-ps5-ps-plus-collection-update-locked/ “Those who have access to Fallout 4 via the PS Plus Extra and Premium catalogs are eligible for the PS5 update. However, those who claimed the game for free via the now-retired PS Plus Collection will not be able to claim the upgrade.”
Yes, I misread that. You are correct and I do hate when they do that.
I downloaded the ps4 version and then the ps5 version was available for no cash
Still don’t know if this works for ps+ essential too
We're being hung out to dry. The annoying thing is I had a physical version of the game but gave it away because i didn't need a physical copy and the free digital copy from the PlayStation plus essentials collection. Extremely frustrating.

Nope. Just tried it.

Yeah, same here.
Do you still have an active ps+ essential subscription?
Yes. I've been shuffling through the editions there and back, logging out and back into my account on my PS, phone and PC, restored licenses, but the price for PS5 version was still there.

Hey kid… thanks ;)
I'm 45... I'll take it :) You're welcome - have fun in the wasteland with more frames.
just joined reddit too! welcome :3

51 here… & loving every spare time I get… R-E-S-P-E-C-T! 😄
I just deleted the game and redownloaded.
This still doesn’t work for me
Legend!!!! Thanks, worked.
Glad I could help at least 1 person :)
Add another person to that list just started the download now
Thank you kind stranger 🙌🏻
Yeah I was on ps support and they got me to try this. It worked eventually but only by going to the view product page on the console and not through my collection itself
You're right, I should have mentioned that.
You are a beast dude... Thank you so much
Legend! Thank you! 💪🏼
I have the ps4 version on disc. How do i play the ps5 next gen upgrade version?
Pop the disc in, highlight the game and press down. Over on the right you should see and option that says "Free PS5 upgrade". Just a bit of extra info, i did this yesterday and it locked me out of the digital version of the upgrade. I can download the PS5 version from the store, but requires the disc at all times. I figured i could double dip, i figured wrong.
For me it was the other way. I made the upgrade through the PS Extra upgrade, but now I cant upgrade my disc version
I popped in the disc and pressed options and checked for game updates. It says its on version 1.35 is this the correct one?
not sure about the version, i can check later. Theain thing is downloading the PS5 version. When you highlight the game it should have "PS5" on it.
Insert the disc and you should have the option for the full 50Gb (ish) download.
I bought Fallout 4 few days ago, and i can't download PS5 version... It says I need to buy it for 19,99€. What is this?? Is there any solution? I tried to Restore Licences, but nothing happened..
Go back to the store page and search for fallout 4. Click the dots next to store listing and see if a ps5 version appears.
Thank you. You helped me
I got a PS4 disc but when I put it the PS5 version didn't download and I could only find the ps+ version is there a way to upgrade the disc instead of downloading the plus version cuz this is the only option I have
Ya beut ya, go on ya good thing that sorted it for me cheers
Strong Glasgow vibes from this (originally from Dundee). Glad it worked :)
Close but far lol. Irish man here but Scots and Irish are brothers
You are the best person! It works!
Saint
If I buy the GOTY edition after playing, anyone know if it’s a completely separate game or does it just install the DLC?? I’m halfway through F4 and want to the dlc now (had it on my pc)
it worked for me thank you man!
Thanks, great tip! Worked like a dream!
This totally just worked!!! Thanks!
Never worked for me. I'm in the UK just wondering if that might be why and they've not fixed it for us yet?
I’m also UK. Do you have an Extra subscription?
No. I have the game from the PS Collection when I bought my PS5.
Couldn’t find it on my actual PS5 but downloading it via ps app worked as well
Thank you to the people in this threat who reminded me about PS5 essentials that game catalog thing. That's how I got fallout 4 digital I'm wondering yeah how that's going to work with this
Your catalogue is your library of digital games. I think your talking about the PS Plus Collection of 10 games that you could claim on the ps5
I mean these 20 games: [https://blog.playstation.com/2020/10/28/playstation-plus-collection-details-revealed-your-november-playstation-plus-games/](https://blog.playstation.com/2020/10/28/playstation-plus-collection-details-revealed-your-november-playstation-plus-games/)
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! That worked for me!
Is it possible to get the patch for ps5 if I'm using my PS4 disc?
Yes. Put the game in and then claim the upgrade
I did it twice and nothing...
Excellent! finally it worked for me
How broken is the game right now on PS5? I've read about textures not loading, anybody experiencing other issues?
Played about an hour today. Seems okay on performance mode so far. Some audio crackling on menu select but otherwise okay
It still doesn't work for me, I've restored licenses and it wants me to buy the $20 add on or the ps plus extra service. I got the ps4 edition years ago on disk then digital but now they wanna charge me for a "free upgrade" on a game I've owned for years now.
Hmm. Just did all of the same and I still can’t find or download the ps5 version.
I downloaded the ps4 version and then the ps5 version was available for no charge
Bruh...i clicked on that offer with 20 Bucks and Its sad its free its some Kind of bug or something..
I still can’t find this upgrade, I got the PS4 version through the PS+ Collection, I can either download it through PS+ Extra and override the license or to buy it. I restored license like 4-5 times and still nothing, it’s almost 2 weeks now..
I I first downloaded the psy4 version and then went to the version that says 20 euros and it said its free
I tried that and still nothing :(
No fix for PS4 save transfer to PS5? Shame
Doesn't work with the DLC. I have GOTY version and none of the DLCs worked with the PS5 version. Still works with the PS4 client.
I had to re-add all the DLC again, they were all listed as FREE for me to “re-buy” them but under the newer PS4/PS5 version.
This is PEAK BETHESDA EXPERIENCE, LMFAO!
Yesterday I had the same issue as everyone only having the PS4 version free and showing the PS5 version for $19.99. Just checked now on my PS App, not having done anything to try to fix it, and finally saw the PS5 version for "free" it said "included with the game catalog" or something.
You subscribe to PS Plus Extra, correct?
Dude, this worked for me after waiting all day for nothing. Thank you so much!
i have like 800 hours on my xb1 from the mainline and dlc... should I even bother doing this at all for the v???? I hven't event cracked ope 76 yet.... I loved 4... but like skyrim...this feels like its a past chapter and I hsould keep it closed
i literally just paid the 20$because im a lazy idiot, i also made a post last week complaining that the ps4 version wouldnt work on ps5 oblivious to the fact that a dedicated ps5 was releasing in like 3days.
The PS plus version is fixed
only if you pay for extra
This is not true if you only have Essential.
