Option 2: Find the PS5 game on PlayStation Store While the PS5 upgrade is technically a digital download, you will need the PS4 disc inside your system if you want to play the game. Simply choose this upgrade offer and agree to it, and the upgraded PS5 variation of your PS4 game will start downloading to the system.
Then, when you go to the game hub for the game in question on the PS4's home screen, you'll see an upgrade offer option. If you own a game like Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales for PS4, you can insert the disc into your PS5 and claim the next-gen upgrade.

Typically, the PS5 game should install by default, but if you've noticed that you're playing the PS4 port of the game or are installing a cross-gen game through a disc, you'll want to know how to switch between the PS5 and PS4 variation of a game. If you go for the PS4 release, it won't feature all of the next-generation graphical and DualSense enhancements.
Whether you're interested in games like A ssassin's Creed Valhalla and Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales that you can upgrade for free or you bought the cross-gen bundles for titles like NBA 2K21 and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, the PS5 does give you the option to choose whether or not you want to play the PS4 and PS5 versions of a game.
