Are you confused by the Elden Ring update for PS5? Don’t worry as multiple PlayStation players are in the same boat. As with most PS games, you can play the PS4 and PS5 versions on both consoles. But is this the case with Elden Ring? Many players are wondering if they can upgrade to the next generation PS5 while running on PS4. Is it possible? And do I need a voucher code for this? Check out our guide to learn all about it.
Does Elden Ring have an update for PS5?
Yes, you can get and download the PS5 update for free at Elden Ring. You can download the PS5 update patch if you purchased the game on PS4 consoles. You will still have access to the PS4 version and will not lose any progress. So you can also play the PS4 version along with the next generation PS5 update.
How to upgrade from PS4 to PS5 Upgrade
If you are using a physical PS4, insert the Elden Ring disc into the console. Once you insert the disc, you will be prompted to update your PS5 on the game’s main screen. Now all you have to do is download the next generation patch. The download size for this update or hotfix is 44.47 GB.
For PS4 Digital Edition players, you can download the PS5 update patch from the library. Here’s how you can get the update:
- In the library, go to the “Your Collections”tab.
- Select Elden Ring and go to the product page.
- Then select the three horizontal lines next to the Download or Play option.
- Finally, select the PS5 Upgrade edition from the dropdown menu.
Compared to getting Elden Ring on PS5, getting it on PS4 is better as it allows you to have two copies. With a free next-gen update, you can also play the PS4 version on PS5 consoles. You will get faster and more stable performance by playing the PS4 version. But please note that the region of the disc must be the same as the region of your PSN account. The PS4 version on PS5 consoles can run at a steady 60fps.
