After confirming a sequel is on the way, publisher 505 Games has revealed the original Ghostrunner game will receive its native PlayStation 5 version on 28th September 2021. Anyone who already owns the game on PS4 will be getting a free upgrade, but if you don't, it'll cost £24.99/$29.99. The PS5 version will ship every new mode and piece of content added to the base game since launch, and will also benefit from further updates planned for the future. That includes the new roguelike mode and another one designed to assist the player through the campaign.
That's all well and good, but far and away the coolest thing about this PS5 edition of Ghostrunner is that it will run in a 4K resolution at 120 frames-per-second. A different mode will allow you to enable Ray-Tracing, while 3D Audio and Haptic Feedback will be taken advantage of across the entire experience. Loading is also said to be "instant". It really sounds like developer One More Level is going to town with this current-gen version, then.
We didn't get around to reviewing Ghostrunner when it hit PS4 last year, but it is supposed to be pretty good. A Metacritic rating of 76 suggests so, at least. Have you been waiting on a native PS5 version of Ghostrunner? Or did you play the game on PS4 and are looking forward to experiencing it once more with better visuals and frame rate?

Got the plat a few weeks ago on PS4 but can't wait to do it again.
I played the game on PS4 Pro (my last game before upgrading to PS5, actually) and it was great. Definitely playing it again after the upgrade.
A free upgrade means I will definitely be playing again. Sounds like a good package for an already great game.
Really enjoyed this on my first playthrough! can't wait to use this as an excuse to jump back in!
I think 4K 60fps with Ray-tracing is the dream combo, anything above that is overkill (for now!).
Again, why would I get a PS5 version of the game when I can get the cheaper version which is for PS4? Same thing happened with FF7R.
@Juanalf I can see 120 fps is being an advantage in some competitive multiplayer games, which Ghostrunner is not
I’d definitely choose better visuals at 60.
Played the demo for this on ps5 and I loved it was waiting for the upgrade before I buy it and with the benefits this upgrade brings I am glad I decided to wait.
@Nepp67 Isn’t the PS4 version the same price? I believe it is (unless it’s currently on sale).
@Voltan I thought it would get a permanent discount at this point tbh but it's 30$ which is a still a steal.
I thought the PS5 couldn't do 120 hz at the moment? Has that been resolved, or have I got it wrong?
@PossibLeigh You got that wrong. It can’t output a 1440p signal which would allow some screens with 120hz panels but only HDMI 2.0 ports utilize it. It works fine at 4K (with HDMI 2.1) or 1080p though.
@PossibLeigh There was an issue with [the PS5] running games in 120fps and HDR on certain Samsung TV models. The latest PS5 firmware patch addressed it...however still some issues exist. (I'm still experiencing issues running Dirt 5 in 120fps.)
@Voltan I did. I was thinking of VRR
Happy to know we finally have a price and release date, $30 is fair for a game like this!
