Sony changes the cards by improving the user experience on its new flagship, the PlayStation 5. A recent update causes that the system notifies the player which edition they intend to play.
On some titles affected with the double version - Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, FIFA 21 and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War - will appear a confirmation message like that will ask if you want to play the PS4 version or change to the PS5 version.
It is a feature not to be underestimated, especially in light of the confusions generated at the debut of the new console. The case in point is Call of Duty itself: some players, by downloading both versions, ended up playing that PlayStation 4. Until now, you had to go to the game settings to change the tick.
Unlike Xbox, Sony does not have a program like Smart Delivery that automatically updates the copy. Officially, with Smart Delivery you get “the versions of the game for Xbox One and Xbox Series X through a single purchase. You receive "the best version of the game on your console, regardless of the generation, all without any additional steps on your part". Once the Xbox Series X optimized version is released, it automatically replaces the version. PlayStation 5 instead offers the choice.
On the scarce availability of the next gen console (still unavailable by normal means) the respective heads of Sony Interactive Entertainment and Xbox, Jim Ryan and Phil Spencer, have made mea culpa, trusting in the next year.
