Battlefield 4's PS3 To PS4 Upgrade Path Detailed

Back at Gamescom, major publishers were falling over themselves to announce an upgrade path from current generation machines to next generation ones, and encourage more sales. During their press conference, Sony rode this wave, announcing a wide promotion that sees games such as Assassin’s Creed 4, Battlefield 4, Call of Duty: Ghosts and Watch Dogs (these the highlighted games) receiving a “significantly discounted price” through PSN, should you want to upgrade.

While Activision came out with a proposed $10/€10/£10 upgrade price for CoD:Ghosts, and many retailers like Amazon and Game have a guaranteed value a trade in policy along these lines, we now have details on both Battlefield 4 and Sony’s offering.

Fergal Gara, SCE’s UK Managing Director, previously stated that ”It may work in several different ways, but I believe it will work from disc to digital, so you can buy the PS3 disc and then access the PS4 digital file,” as he spoke to VideoGamer.com. Following this there was a lot of confusion about how exactly this would be done, but Envisager, Community Manager on the EU PlayStation Community Forums, has now gone into further detail.
