In an interview with Japanese websiteGameSpark , and in brief translated byReddituser 8bitsleuth , a spokesperson for Sony Interactive Entertainment Asia discussed if something like Smart Delivery on Xbox Series X , which allows select purchases to extend over to the fresh console , would also help bridge the gap between PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 . The spokesperson said Sony would support publishers offering free PlayStation 5 versions to owners of PlayStation 4 games , although the decision would be at the individual newspaper publisher ’s free will .

The interview mentionsMadden NFL 21 , which sparked controversy last calendar month after EA bring out they were offering their own , water - down versionof Smart Delivery for the annual football franchise .

The conversion between console generations usually chair to some awkwardly - timed releases , as gamers pause to purchase PlayStation 4 or Xbox One game when they might have to buy it a second time just to run on their new cabinet .
