Hvorimod spil som Cyberpunk 2077 og Assassin's Creed Valhalla kommer til at tilbyde helt gratis opgraderinger fra PS4- eller Xbox One til PS5- eller Xbox Series X, så kom 505 Games og Remedy for nylig frem med en lidt mindre brugervenlig plan.
De lancerer nemlig en Ultimate Edition af Control, og dette er den eneste måde hvorpå man kan sikre sige en PS5- eller Xbox Series X-udgave af spillet. Det vil altså sige, at det er lige meget om man ejer spillet, og et Season Pass for den sags skyld. Man skal købe det igen.
Denne afsløring fik en lettere krads modtagelse fra fans, så nu forklarer 505 hvorfor de har gjort som de har gjort i et blogindlæg. De mener selv at de udforskede andre muligheder, men at dette er det mest fair.
"We spent several months exploring all of our launch options for Control Ultimate Edition and no decision was taken lightly. While it is challenging bringing any game to next gen platforms, we quickly realised it was even more difficult to upgrade our current user base to next gen with full parity across platforms with our year-old game.
Every avenue we pursued, there was some form of blocker and those blockers meant that at least one group of players ended up being left out of the upgrade for various reasons. As of today, we can't offer an upgrade to everyone, and leaving any one group out feels unfair. We understand that is not what you want to hear."
