Hitman-3

Most PlayStation four games easily playable on the PlayStation five due to the new Sony console's backward compatibility feature, however, several publishers allowing you to upgrade PS4 games to the PS5 versions for free. This allows you to play with 4K dynamic resolution at sixty frames per second and delivers shorter loading times, for a better gaming experience.

The PS5 is obtainable currently however has been in and out of stock at retailers. The digital-only model prices $400, and therefore the one with a disk drive is $500.

Your game upgrades will not happen automatically or through a typical game update, therefore it is simple to accidentally keep enjoying the PS4 version of a game on your new PS5. You've got to travel to the game page on the PlayStation Network and choose to upgrade to the PS5 version -- that'll transfer the additional data required for the next-gen features.

You can conjointly upgrade to PS5 versions if you've got a physical PS4 game, as long as you acquire the PS5 with a disk drive. You will always get to use the PS4 disc to play the PS5 version; upgrading does not get you a free digital copy of the game. You may still transfer the PS5 update from the PSN, however, don't need a PS5-specific disc -- your PS4 one will become an authenticator.
