A universally praised 2017 PS4 game has stealth-dropped a free PS5 upgrade and fans are ecstatic. PS4 owners of Team Cherry’s Hollow Knight should now have access to the newly launched native PS5 version at no additional cost.
Hollow Knight PS5 upgrade available now on PS Store, free for existing PS4 owners
All PS4 owners of Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition are entitled to the free PS5 upgrade. The package includes:
- The original, award winning, action adventure.
- Four giant content packs, built in at launch, expanding the game with all new quests, terrifying boss fights and striking new abilities.
The PS5 version, which coincides with Hollow Knight’s launch on Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S, supports higher frame rates, higher resolutions, and additional effects.
Hollow Knight costs $14.99 on the PS Store, and is now cross-buy, so all new buyers will get both versions.
Trophy hunters will be pleased to note that Hollow Knight PS5 comes with its own set of trophies and Platinum. However, a known glitch that allowed players to pop the Platinum easily has been fixed.
At the time of this writing, it doesn’t look like trophies autopop, so PS5 players will have to go through Hollow Knight again if they want to unlock the trophies.
