Sega has announced a free PS5 upgrade for its hit 2017 PS4 action adventure game. This one comes as a surprise because the company wasn’t particularly feeling generous when it comes to the 20th Anniversary native PS5 releases of Yakuza Kiwami, Yakuza Kiwami 2, and Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut, but Kiwami 2 players can claim a freebie come December 12.
Yakuza Kiwami 2 PS4 owners entitled to free PS5 upgrade, but there’s a catch
All those who own a digital copy of Yakuza Kiwami 2 on the PS4 are entitled to upgrade to the PS5 port for free. This offer does not extend to disc owners, for some reason, and you must own a digital copy of Kiwami 2 by December 8, 8:59 a.m. PT at the latest. Future PS4 purchases will not be entertained.
As for the other titles, here are the upgrade paths on offer:
- Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut: Those who purchase a digital PS4 copy by December 8 can upgrade for $14.99.
- Yakuza Kiwami: Those who purchase a digital PS4 copy by December 8 can upgrade for $1.99.
Sega has warned that save data does not carry over to the PS5 versions in any of the aforementioned games.
