There's actually quite a large number of games releasing day and date with PlayStation 5, so it's easy to forget some of them. One game we'd suggest you keep an eye on, though, is The Pathless, the new game from ABZU creators Giant Squid. This open world action adventure has you playing as an archer that can zip across the landscape with ease by shooting various targets, and it looks very promising indeed.
If you needed more convincing, publisher Annapurna Interactive has just sweetened the deal. If you buy the game digitally on PS4, you'll get the PS5 version as well at no extra cost. This also works the other way: buying the next-gen version nets you the current-gen one as a freebie.
That's great if you don't mind digital games, but what if you want a physical copy? Well, there are two PS5 boxed versions of The Pathless you'll be able to pre-order, too (though it seems the free PS4 version is only for digital purchases).
First, there's an iam8bit exclusive edition. This comes with the game on disc, obviously, as well as reversible cover art, a poster, and some art cards. iam8bit is also producing a vinyl soundtrack, if you're interested. Then there's the more widely distributed Day One edition, which just includes the art cards as a bonus.
So, you're not short of ways to purchase The Pathless. What option tickles your fancy? Will you nab the digital PS4 version for the free PS5 upgrade? Choose your path in the comments section below.

It looks really fun but I’m dreading the inevitable ‘Breath of the Wild clone’ and ‘Horizon Zero Dawn clone’ reviews.
that box art looks sick !
The game looks good but it's a little bit expensive at $40, maybe I'll play it on apple arcade first and buy it on ps5 when it's discounted on psn.
Ugh, I want to wishlist the game now but I just remember there's no wishlish option on new psn store
I expected this to be priced as a £15-20 indie title, rather than a £30 AA release when I went to check it out in the store
@nessisonett you mean like Genshin Impact? Didn’t seem to hurt that game none contrary to my deepest wishes
I am soooooo looking forward to this.
Just pump that Austin Wintory OST directly into my soul!
@wiiware Yeah, it was so crazy they removed the wishlist feature, but also a very shrewd business move — I used that to track discounts and when to buy the odd physical game if the value proposition was right. I always prefer physical games at good low prices (which support the developers too by buying new — as I think that overtime many more sales are accrued, whereas if it remained high, I and many others I suspect wouldn't bother at all, on the majority of them). And you're right, I'm not keen on paying £40 for it either, other games/priorities and that...
