Microsoft has really thrown a wrench into the usual next-gen console transition process with their new “Smart Delivery” feature, which allows you to buy the current-gen Xbox One version of a game and upgrade to the better-looking Xbox Series X/S version for free. Initially, Sony seemed somewhat reluctant about the idea of free PS5 updates, only promising that they’d “flexibly support the [publisher's] upgrade plan offered for each title.”

That said, since Sony’s initial response, the Smart Delivery concept has quickly caught on, with numerous titles like Marvel’s Avengers, Dirt 5, and Cyberpunk 2077 promising both free Xbox-One-to-Xbox-Series and PS4-to-PS5 upgrades. And now we have another sign that Sony has come around on the concept – as spotted by the folks at Video Games Chronicle, it seems PS4 games that offer a PS5 upgrade, such as Immortals Fenyx Rising, will be branded with a standardized label.
