So I have the physical copies of AC:Valhalla and Madden 21 for PS4 and am going to snag a PS5 ASAP.

So I have two questions: 1. In order to get the next gen versions of those games do I just pop the disc in and it will automatically download the new version directly to console hard drive? 2. If I have my data already saved on the cloud, will it load my progress on the PS4 versions on to the PS5 versions?

TIA

My understanding is you have to buy the PS5 digital upgrade to get the PS5 enhancements to work and then place your PS4 disc in the console to prove you own the game.

If you buy the cross-gen digital version for PS4/PS5 then you get both versions on both systems.

If you just put the PS4 disc in your PS5 and don't by anything else you only get PS4 functionality via backwards compatibility on PS5.

ETA: No matter what you do the progress and trophies should carry over...
