LONDON (IT BOLTWISE) – A new PS5 upgrade for Red Dead Redemption is causing excitement among gamers. But be careful: a license problem with PS Plus could jeopardize the free upgrade.

The recently released PS5 upgrade for Red Dead Redemption has caused excitement among many players. The opportunity to experience the Western epic with improved graphics on the latest generation of consoles is tempting. But there is a catch that can be particularly problematic for PlayStation Plus subscribers.
The problem lies in the way the upgrade is activated. Players who already own Red Dead Redemption digitally or on disc for the PS4 should only purchase the upgrade via the PlayStation Store. If you use the PS Plus version instead, you will overwrite your existing license. This will result in losing the right to the free upgrade even though you already own the game.
This error is not new and has caused discontent in the past. Many users have been reporting for years that PS Plus versions can replace existing licenses, something Sony has not yet fixed. Therefore, players should generally avoid redeeming games via PS Plus if they already own them to avoid becoming dependent on an ongoing subscription.
For those who don’t already own Red Dead Redemption, the PS Plus version is a risk-free way to experience the game. However, the hope remains that Sony will fix this licensing error in the future to allow players to use their games smoothly. Until then, caution is advised to avoid costly mistakes.
