PlayStation: How to upgrade on PS5

If you own the PlayStation 4 version of Kingdom Come: Deliverance (Standard or Royal Edition) but cannot access or download the corresponding PlayStation 5 version, this is most likely caused by how the PlayStation Store displays and prioritizes product variants.

Instead of the intended PS4/PS5 combined listing, the store may only show:

  • The PS4-only version you already own
  • The incorrect PS5 variant (Standard instead of Royal Edition)

In this case, the correct PS4/PS5 listing is not surfaced through the default download or upgrade option in the Game Library or product tile.

If you own the PlayStation 4 Royal Edition

If you own the PlayStation 4 Royal Edition but cannot access the PlayStation 5 Royal Edition, follow the steps below.

Note: If the Standard PS5 Edition is already installed, uninstall it first before proceeding.
