This was unexpected. While we were all watching the PS5 showcase, Sony announced some more details on Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales. First and foremost, the game is coming to both PS5 and PS4. Yep, turns out it's a cross-gen game.
The standard version will be available for $49.99 on shelves and on PS Store. If you buy the game on PS4, the "game comes with you" to PS5. In other words, you're getting a free upgrade to the PS5 version.
That's not all, though. On PS5, you'll be able to buy an Ultimate Edition of Miles Morales, which comes packaged with Marvel's Spider-Man: Remastered, an updated version of the original game and its DLC. Despite its name, it's apparently more than a remaster; it benefits from overhauled visuals, 60 frames-per-second, and will include three new suits, new photo mode features, and some new Trophies to boot. The Ultimate Edition will cost $69.99.
So, there you go. Both games will be playable on both PS5 and PS4. Will you be playing Miles Morales on PS4, or will you opt for the Ultimate Edition to get everything on PS5? Tell us in the comments section below.

Excellent! Won’t be picking up a PS5 until there’s a redesign, so nice to know I can play more Spider-Man.
Well I didn't see that coming, but hey, I'm not complaining.
Sony's full of crazy people offering PS4 games with a free PS5 update at $50. There's GOT to be a catch... But if not, I won't look a gift spider in the mouth. I'm ready for Miles!
Wait what... oh.
PS4 version for me then please.
A lot of people will be wondering if the Spider-Man upgrade will be available for existing owners.
50€ is more expensive than I thought, honestly.
MM looked amazing. day1 for sure.
I guess Sony really doesn't have a big exclusive for the holidays. Bit shocked.
@Ralizah Spider-Man is all they need really, yes MM is on PS4 but the PS5 version will be the one that gets the attention.
@Ralizah Geoff Keighly just tweeted the Demon's Souls is apparently a launch title
@Ralizah rofl! Ps4 dlc.... Literally! When the meme is just a fact ... "Ps4 can't run it" lol
It actually makes me feel better about Sony though. I didn't like them withholding ps4 content to push hardware. Looks like they're not. That's a win. But it makes the fans look silly for the past 2 months!
@NEStalgia shrugs I can admit when I'm wrong.
@graysoncharles Really curious to see if it being a BotW tie-in ends up making the new Hyrule Warriors a bigger deal.
@Keyblade-Dan Oh, that's pretty cool, if true.
Awesome that it's coming out on PS4 too!
Make up your minds!!! Believe in generations or don't you!?
Anyways I am glad I will likely be able to play this before I get a PS5 sometime next year.
@NDL08 It's official Yoshida himself has tweeted it
@NEStalgia Seriously this news is INSANE! How many freaking articles did we have, how many comments did Sony people put out about this not being on PS4? Now they announce this? It's nuts.
All the Sony fanbois saying "Xbox has no new games, PS5 has Spiderman" are going to be getting SO MUCH GRIEF on reddit they'll need new id's. 😂
Anybody remember this:
"Now, boss Jim Ryan has told CNET that accusations of the organisation “misleading” fans are unfounded: “I can safely say that we would not effectively lead the next-gen portion of the show with something that was either trivial or misleading.”
https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2020/06/sony_insists_marvels_spider-man_miles_morales_ps5_reveal_was_not_misleading
No, Jim Ryan, you lead the next-gen show with a PS4 game. 🤣
Gotta love these June articles. 😎
i guess when you sell 14m copies.. that PS4 install base is too lucrative to pass up.
sony exec 1: how do we lower launch price of PS5?.
sony exec 2: we'll sell 2m copies of MM on PS5, but we could sell another 10m @$50 a pop on PS4 for hardly any extra development costs.
Question! So there's an upgraded version of the original PS4 Spidey... But you can only get that via this ultimate edition Miles Morales??
There's no "free upgrade" generally for those who already own it on PS4??
@Perryg92 Considering Sony spent the last 3 months letting us think this was a next Gen only game I wouldn't focus too much on what is or isn't possible yet with the first game. It's possible the "upgrade" is free for people who own the 1st game on PS4 but you can't "buy" this version yet on PS5.
Sony is going to be so tripping all over themselves with this one, nothing is set in stone until it is. And not even then.
@rjejr and gtav
Finding out this and Horizon 2 is on Ps4 has made delaying getting a ps5 much easier.
The first PS5 only game might be GOW Ragnarok but thats probably Holiday 2021 at the earliest.
@rjejr @NEStalgia A new meme is needed after so many people here claiming that it wouldn't be possible, PS4 can, actually, run Spider-Man Miles Morales and Horizon 2.
Meanwhile, Halo Infinite has been delayed to look more next-gen and the other Microsoft's big games are Series-exclusive now so they both changed their plans.
Instant pre-order for me. S-M was one of the best games of the previous generation and I can’t wait to get some more.
ONLY POSSIBLE ON PS5...oh wait... Still looks AMAZING the PS5 version
I am so glad this and so many other games are coming to ps4 as well.
Sounds good. All of it.
If I own Spiderman and all it's DLC's on PS4, will I get a free upgrade to PS5. They are so slow to release this kind of information, it's not that hard. Just a yes or no.
@NEStalgia "gtav"
This has been dissected elsewhere, for good or bad, he said:
"we would not effectively lead the next-gen portion of the show"
Meaning GTA V was the "this gen" portion of the show, and Spider-man was the "next gen" portion of the show. So he wasn't technically lying about GTAV leading, but that means he was lying about Spiderman being the "next gen portion" of the show since it is also on this gen. He can't have it both ways though.
@BlueOcean "so they both changed their plans."
Or, they were both lying the entire time?
Maybe Jim Ryan was just downplaying the PS4 support? Or was he up-playing it? 😁
@rjejr "We would not effectively lead next gen in a portion of our show"
There, fixed it for him.
This guy really needs to go. He and Kodera have been a Mattrick level blunder-factory from the moment they stepped in. Kutagari is a legend, but he blew it with PS3. Hirai rebuilt it better than ever, House kept the momentum going, and then the comedy duo of Kodera and Ryan stepped in and decided the best model for Playstation is Activision and Mattrick's Microsoft. I feel like at any minute he'll tell us about the always on DRM and the mandatory camera... Every single time he speaks I like PS a little bit less.
@BlueOcean Oh the memes really must flow. The funny thing is it's the insane PS fans, not Sony itself that really built that meme. Sony set them up for it with the June trailer but they never explicitly said it's PS5-exclusive. And they were cagey afterward about it "being a stand alone expansion." They clearly wanted to give the impression it was exclusive, the same way they wanted to give the impression FFXVI is a permanent exclusive, but they never said it. It was the fandom that spent 3 months inventing a myriad of reasons as to why it needed PS5 and how the game was so clearly next gen from the ground up.
Kind of hilarious, but also disturbing how easy it is for someone popular/powerful (in this case, Playstation as an organization) to simply plant a suggestion in the minds of people that want to believe it, without saying it, and those people create a new truth and spread its gospel around their own fill-in-the-blanks reasoning, to defend that idea against those that say otherwise. When in reality the ones saying otherwise were accurate from the start, and the original suggester never said otherwise. Not that 10,000 years of human history hasn't shown that on a deadly scale over and over...but it's a bit traumatic to watch it unfold in real time.
@NEStalgia You nailed it.
@NEStalgia Was your reply to @BlueOcean about Playstation or politics?
I don't know about you but all my replies tend to lean toward politics the longer they are, it's so overwhelming in everything these days.
Good call on Sony not really saying these games were PS5 exclusives and just letting the fans run with it - without correcting them - but I do feel like somebody at Sony was promoting the "we know how to do generations" insult aimed at MS, even if they never said it was aimed at MS.
Dont' think R&C will rleease on PS4 - those guys are busy enough trying to release everything else - but I'm genuinely cuirous about GoW 2. That game looked so good on PS4, and it was basically a walkign simulator broken up by fights, it' sno warp drive R&C, so I don't know what they need on PS5, at 1080p, that PS4 can't provide.
If they built a new game engine that only does 4k well ok then, but that's on them, first game was only the first part of the story, 2nd part should have gone into production ASAP after the first game. 1 of the reasons I never got FF7R on PS4, part 2 will be on PS5 and part 3 on PS6, if Squenix doesn't go bankrupt first. Or MS buys them and makes part 3 an Xbox and PC exclusive. 🤣
I'm still getting the PS5 version but was shocked to hear this.
