Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot released on PS5 earlier this year, and offered a free upgrade for PS4 owners. It was probably fair to assume that the PS Plus Extra version available today would include the new-gen upgrade, then. Unfortunately, that’s not the case, as only the PS4 version is being offered for subscribers – at least, at the time of writing.
This isn’t the first time there’s been an inconsistency like this, although usually Sony is quite good at making any next-gen upgrades available to subscribers. Immortals Fenyx Rising, for example, includes both the PS5 and PS4 versions, and is also available today. We’ll try and reach out to Bandai Namco to see if this is intentional or not, and we’ll update if we get a response.
