New PlayStation Now Releases Only Include PS4 Versions, Not PS5 Upgrades

This month, PlayStation Now subscribers are able to play Borderlands 3 and Marvel's Avengers, but only the PlayStation 4 versions are available. While both of these games have received free upgrades on PlayStation 5, subscribers playing on PS5 cannot download the next-gen upgrades with the PS Now versions. Some had assumed this must be a mistake, but Push Square has received confirmation from Sony that players will have to purchase either of these games in order to enjoy the next-gen features. It's a baffling decision on PlayStation's part, and one that will likely lead to some frustration from PlayStation Now subscribers.
