It's lucky Bloodborne fans are such gluttons for punishment, as the latest cosmic joke at their expense has come from an unexpected angle, this time via the recently restored PS Stars. The Old Hunters DLC appears to have been mistakenly tagged as a PS5 game in the rewards section, available for the low price of just 5,000 points, inevitably allowing some to get their hopes up.
Spotted by PSLS, images quickly began circulating on Reddit, and almost a decade of pent-up angst did the rest. As the outlet points out, The Old Hunters was correctly marked as PS4 content before PS Stars went down, so this is almost certainly just a typo or other error. The MVP comment in the below thread, from Redditor Miserable-Complex172 (who we've decided to trust implicitly), suggests that perhaps beating the game with the wooden shield equipped is how you actually unlock the PS5 version.
Us, too

Was this truly just a typo, or are we living in a nightmare masquerading as a dream? Make preparations for your own wooden shield playthrough in the comments section below.

Just like the X-Files: I want to believe!
Someone at sony hates bloodborne at this point
With the wooden shield? What a joke. You need to beat it on a dance mat, doing a handstand whilst singing the macarena. Unlocked it last night. Im now playing it in native 4k HDR at 120fps.
This is a fake right?!, checked my app just for fun. I can get Stellar Blade/Honkai Star Rail x 300 Shards/Helldivers 2/Rise OF The Ronin and Dredge and some weird japanese games I never heard of.
Photoshop ftw...
THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS!!!!!!!!
