Sony is reportedly refunding The Last of Us 2 PS4 owners who bought the PS5 version of the game at full price.
It seems some players weren’t aware that there’s an upgrade path that allows owners of the last-gen version to buy the new PS5 one for $10 / £10.
With that in mind, it’s claimed that Sony has begun automatically refunding players who purchased The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered at full price if they already own the digital PS4 version of The Last of Us Part 2.
“As an owner of the PS4 digital version of The Last of Us Part II, a digital upgrade to the PS5 digital version will be available at a deeply discounted price on launch day 19/1/24,” a message sent to players reportedly reads.
“We don’t want you to lose out on that opportunity so, as a gesture of good will, we have refunded your purchase for the pre-order of the PS5 version of The Last of Us Part II Remastered so that you may purchase the digital upgrade on launch day.
