The previously delayed PlayStation 5 version of Marvel's Avengers is now available to download over on the PS Store. Shipping with two different modes, you'll be able to prioritise either the resolution or frame rate. 60 frames-per-second with a checkerboard 4K resolution is what you'll get in the "High Frame Rate Mode" while "High Quality Mode" is 30 frames-per-second at native 4K. And as long as everything goes to plan, current owners of the PS4 version will be able to upgrade to the PS5 edition free of charge today also. Let's just hope this latest attempt doesn't go the same way as Yakuza: Like a Dragon or Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time. The PS Store lists a download size of 120GB.
Today also marks the moment that Hawkeye and his accompanying campaign becomes available for current players, adding more levels and a new character to play as without charge. Kate Bishop has been available for some months now, who was the first superhero to be added post-launch. However, there's also a negative side to this latest update. Developer Crystal Dynamics has now increased the grind needed to reach the maximum level of 50 by boosting the amount of XP you'll need to level up during the later ranks. The team then doubled down on this decision a few days later, so don't expect it to be reversed.
In our Marvel's Avengers PS4 review, we found the superhero effort to be a bit all over the place. Its single player campaign is a very enjoyable 15-hour adventure, but then everything that comes after it is rather questionable. We expect all that to remain intact with this PS5 version, but we'll be delivering another verdict in the near future.

Only digital? I like physical PS5 games.
Hard pass on this game entirely.
Live service games just want you to pay mictotransactions and them admitting to increasing the grind seals it.
Yep, it's still *****.
As if you'd get me to download this trash.
😂 That tagline..
Fyi Pure Xbox says its 106GB download wth._.
Psn shows 120.8 gb download. I'll stick with my ps4 version that I don't play anymore... not wasting 120gb of space on this.
...but where's Peter Parker?
@torne actual download size is 76.627gb
Is it FREE yet!?!
@VanguardKaiser still not worth it haha 🤣
@ThaBEN you can buy it on a disc as well.
cool, I was getting worried it was not coming today! it went live a little later on.
I waited for this version will make up my mind on how I feel about it now.
I don’t like how PlayStation is combining the files sizes of both PS4 & PS5 to inflate the actual file size. The PS5 download is actually on 78 gigs. They did the same thing with Call of Duty Cold War. That’s actually not 220 gigs as labeled. Why would they want to inflate the files size, when so little is available? And who would download both versions to your PS5? That only seems necessary if there’s a VR version.
78 gig here..is not downloading the ps4 version only the ps5 free upgrade..
Anyone knows if the save from PS4 is usable on PS5?
@AFCC You can export your PS4 save and download it to the PS5 version. Don’t do what I did and delete the PS4 version to make room on the PS5 before exporting your save!
@Amnesiac gladly I still have my PS4 and was able to go there and transfer the save.
I tried the first mission of Kate Bishop dlc, which I didn't try when it came out...it's more of the same! Same enemies, same hard enemies just because they have more hp...I mean, what did the patches change gameplay wise really?
This game could've been the best Marvel game ever...so sad
@AFCC They definitely recycle enemies in the Kate Bishop add on, but I thought the pacing and storytelling were a bit of a step up from the main single player game, which I enjoyed. Also, Kate is pretty darn fun to play. Looking forward to the Hawkeye stuff, especially if Lucky the Pizza Dog is involved.
Now it can be ignored on two generations!
And out come the haters..if you didnt like it first time chances are you were not going to enjoy it this time but i guess some people need to have their 15 secs etc...on a positive note the game looks very nice in both modes especially in native 4k but i'll be playing it with performance mode as 60fps is where a game like this is at..negatives,well yes the grind is going to be a sore point and it could really do with a bit of variety in the enemies but if you have friends and have some time to kill i cant see why this game cant be fun..i like it and i know there are people out there who like it because it isnt hard to find online lobbys..think my weekends split between this and fenyx rising..
It's a definite improvement the ps5 version.
Take iron man's suit on the ps4 version, it looked horrible in cut scenes now it looks amazing. I also noted graphical anomalies are far less on the ps5 version as well.
I think if your after a bit of button bashing and a decent campaign with a good story and free dlc story expansions this is a fun game. I bought mine for £20 with no regrets.
@Amnesiac I will give it a shot then...but yesterday I was getting more frustrated that having fun. That part of the level that you need to control 3 different points and a ton of enemies swarm you is so annoying...
Does anyone know if exporting the PS4 save to the PS5 version unlocks all the trophies I already earned previously like Spider-Man did?
@GADG3Tx87 Yes, as soon as I completed the save migration, all the trophies I had earned popped.
@AFCC Yeah, the levels where you have to hold down specific areas were a pain the first few times as it felt like I couldn’t figure out where I was supposed to go in time. Once I got the layout down, it wasn’t so bad, but it was still kind of lame to have to plough through a section like that after an otherwise enjoyable mission.
I've decided to wait until all DLC is out before I return to the main story, got plenty of other games in my backlog to keep me busy.
