Sony's Discount Program For Cross-Generation Games
It probably won't apply to a lot of you, but if you happen to buy one of a selected handful of games on your PS3 and then want to get the PS4 copy of that same game, Sony and its partners are going to make it worth your while.
During its Gamescom press conference, Sony announced that for cross-generational games like Call of Duty: Ghosts, Watch Dogs, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, and Battlefield 4, if you buy the PS3 version, for a limited time Sony will let you buy the digital PS4 version for a "significantly discounted price."
The company didn't say how much or for how long, and other details will be revealed in the future.
[Note: The story was edited to say it's the digital PS4 version.]
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
