It’s about what you’d expect
My gut reaction to the news thatcertain games would be “upgradable”to their next-generation counterparts, whether that be on Xbox One or PlayStation 4, was that the savings had better be significant. And they are! If you buyBattlefield 4,Watch Dogs,Call of Duty: Ghosts, orAssassin’s Creed IV: Black Flagon PS3, you’ll be able to get the same title on PS4 for a mere $9.99. Sonyhas detailedthe digital upgrade process today.
Disc-based PS3 versions of those games will include a redeemable code, and you’ll also need to keep the discs themselves to play the PS4 versions. However, if you’re going the all-digital route by purchasing through the PlayStation Store, there’s no code redemption — the PS4 versions will simply show up on the PS Store with the discounted pricing. That sounds like the way to go.
Another concern was how limited this limited-time promotion would be. The dates to keep track of are: July 13, 2025 (Assassin’s Creed IVandWatch Dogs), March 28 (Battlefield 4), and March 31 (Call of Duty: Ghosts). Redeem your code — which can be done on PS3, by the way — and purchase the PS4 versions before those days.
