If you have spent your savings on the PlayStation 5 release and your own wallet no longer allows you to purchase other games, then you don’t have to be disappointed. Some of the most popular PS4 games are getting free next-generation upgrades. NBA2K21MT provide you with an overview.

We will take NBA 2K21 as an example to tell you how this next-generation PS5 version game upgrade works. If you have already purchased the PS4 version, you only need to take the following steps to enjoy the improved version:

Physical version owners: Just insert the game's PS4 disc into the PlayStation 5 drive, and the free download should start automatically. However, the disc must always be in the drive before it can be played.

Digital version owners: Download the game again from the PlayStation Store on PlayStation 5. However, please make sure that you have indeed selected the three-point PS5 version in the menu.
