‘Spider-Man’ PS4 owners won’t get the remastered PS5 version for free

[Jacob Siegal]

• If you own Marvel's Spider-Man on PS4, there's no free upgrade to the PS5 remaster.
• Sony said this week that the only way to get Marvel's Spider-Man: Remastered is to buy Miles Morales Ultimate Edition or buy the standard edition of Miles Morales and pay for the upgrade.
• Sony has no plans to offer Spider-Man: Remastered as a standalone purchase on PS5.

In addition to being one of the most highly anticipated games of the fall, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales has also been the subject of multiple controversies. First, we weren't sure if it was a sequel, a spinoff, or an expansion pack for the original PS4 game. Insomniac Games eventually cleared up the confusion, but then we learned last week that the game would also be launching on PS4 this fall for those who aren't ready to buy a PS5. If you get the PS4 version of Miles Morales, you are obligated to receive a free upgrade to the PS5 version of the game.

Still with me? Probably not for long. There's a standard edition of Miles Morales and a Miles Morales Ultimate Edition. The Ultimate Edition of the game comes with a remastered version of the original Marvel's Spider-Man, complete with stellar graphics and effects that only the PS5 can achieve. Here's the problem: Unless you buy Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition, you will not get Marvel's Spider-Man: Remastered for free, even if you already own the original Marvel's Spider-Man for PS4. In fact, there's no upgrade path for owners of the PS4 game.
