So back in February, we had a small State of Play event. As well as the Suicide Squad gameplay we saw some news over the March additions to the monthly PlayStation Plus games. Since then that list has grown and the PlayStation Blog has updated the list with some details for each respective title. Before we get to some issues raised with the monthly selection let’s refresh our memory as to what’s included. Though make note that not all games are available for each tier. However, it does include some big titles from Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot to the Uncharted Legacy of Thieves collection.

Though some games here have a cross-gen release. For example, Immortals Fenyx Rising and Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. This is where the problem has occurred.
Why Immortals Fenyx Rising and Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot Are Topical
If we look at the first game, Immortals Fenyx Rising we see it’s both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 version included. The blog post doesn’t say any game is only including the last-gen release. Though we go to install the PlayStation 5 upgrade for Dragon Ball we can only access the last-gen release. When the game was upgraded it was a free upgrade. This may be a decision out of Sony’s hands but since it was free to upgrade, it makes little sense to exclude it.
