Sony Interactive Entertainment has revealed that the PS4 to PS5 game upgrades feature will ultimately come down to publisher support. One example of this is Madden NFL 21, which EA has confirmed will allow users to upgrade from current-generation to new consoles.

A new statement issued to Japanese publication GameSpark confirms that Sony is leaving decisions up to the publishers in regards to allowing users to freely upgrade from PS4 to PS5. You can view a translation of the article below:

Apparently the update program for PS4>PS5 software copies will be done at the publisher's own discretion, but SIE stated that they will flexibly support these upgrades even in Japan as well
(note that it's still unknown whether they deal with PS4>PS5DE)
