The PlayStation 5 version of GreedFall is now available on the PS Store, meaning those who previously bought the game can grab the free PS4 to PS5 upgrade right now. Unfortunately, the PS Plus version cannot be upgraded to the PS5 version. If you don't qualify for the free upgrade, you can either opt to purchase the base version at £29.99/$34.99 or pick up the new Gold Edition that bundles in a new expansion, priced at £34.99/$39.99. The DLC on its own is £5.79/$6.99, so you're saving just a little bit of cash.
As a reminder, The De Vespe Conspiracy expansion introduces a "nefarious conspiracy that threatens the balance of power. Explore a previously-undiscovered region of the island, battle strange new beasts and face off against a villainous new enemy faction in your hunt to uncover the truth." The new region you can explore is named Aidág ol creidaw, with new enemies, weapons, and costumes to discover.
We also have a few details on the PS5 modes you can pick between. Quality mode will run at 30 frames-per-second using a native 4K resolution while Performance Mode opts for 1440p at 60 frames-per-second. The UI will be in 4K.

@Slippship Exactly. I understand this is not an AAA game, but the animations, graphics and actor performances were really terrible from the start...
I was thinking of maybe trying again on PS5, but since the PS+ version doesn't get the update, I guess it won't happen...
@Total_Weirdo Yup, especially the plot twist with Constantine xD
@Slippship yeah...like how many people who got this dross on plus and still didn't play it do they honestly think will PAY for an upgrade?!
Beggars belief really that they expect people will hand over £30 for it 🤣
@Jessica2K What's with the passive aggressive tone? We get it, you don't like their games.. Move on hun 😒
Great game if you are a fan of the older Bioware style games.
Was a bit janky and had performance issues when I played on last gen, but I really enjoyed the game overall.
Well worth the time if you're a big fan of the western RPG genre.
Just a shame Sony haven't sorted PS Now out for the free PS5 upgrades. Greedfall is in there and should be getting one.
PS+ I can understand not being entitled like with other games.
I bought and really enjoyed the game when it was released a few years ago. Honestly, I'd been looking forward to it since it was announced at E3 in 2018. Its surprising that so many people seem unfamiliar with it. Its a really sold, AA attempt at making a Bioware style RPG. I paid $30 for it and felt that I got my money's worth.
I would really, really like to experience it again from the start on the PS5, but that's not going to happen any time soon given the circumstances. So now I have to make the descesion to wait until I can eventually get one, or to buy the expansion and play it again on the PS4, since I haven't had any new games to play for months as it is already.
yes i'm going to pay for the upgraded physical Gold edition as it comes with a new story dlc alongside. I'm happy to play it through once more with improved visuals. Does anyone know when the physical copy of this come out as i've already pre-ordered it?
@Unlucky13 @blinx01 @Total_Weirdo @Tatarimokke Hi there.
As you may see in my previous comment, I was far from convinced by the prologue of Greedfall. "Janky" doesn't even come close to describe it : walking, running and combat animations looked like very early PS3, the performances of the voice actors felt very stiff, and the graphics in general looked low-budget.
Now, I'm totally ready to go beyond that if the story and the gameplay were incredible, as I am a big fan of RPGs and story-driven games.
So, what could you say to convince me that my first impressions are wrong and that this game is a hidden gem?
Good game. Can’t wait for SteelRising.
I played it on PC. I’ll be picking the expansion for $6 for sure.
Was it a bit janky? Yes. Did I still enjoy it? Yes. It was priced appropriately and I enjoyed my time with it. If it had been £70 it might have been a different story but I thought it was a solid enough game. Luckily I bought it physical after the price went down so I'll get a nice little upgrade. Sweet.
@Olmaz for me yes it is. it's a very underrated game though the prologue was a bit too old-fashioned and janky that's true. You just need to get through the prologue and then the game become fantastic, the story opens up. I think the visuals will be amazing in 4k . If you like single player story driven rpg then do not hesitate give it a go.
@Divergent95 It seems in your world I'm not allowed to express a personal dislike for a game and/or shoddy practice? I don't live in such a world, thankfully, and will continue to express my views.
Also, I'm sure girls everywhere (and many right thinking guys) will despise your patronising tone as much as I do. You sound like a very sad little man and you will not bully me off here.
Congrats on being my first ignored user; at least you've achieved something today.
Can you use disc to upgrade ?
Found it very dated and the AI was awful. Don't think a next gen upgrade is going to fix that.
@Olmaz
The way I'd describe this game is a love letter to older and arguable better Bioware games such as Dragon Age 1 and 2.
If you enjoyed those, then this game is for you. Just get passed the rather boring prologue and let the map open up, then it becomes a much better game.
It's also priced fairly considering this is not an AAA blockbuster.
I can understand if the game is not for some, but I found it a solid RPG and enjoyed my 30 hours or so with it bar the technical issues (poor framerate).
@Jessica2K Patronising? Bullying? confused face
You have the right to your own opinion sis, and all I did was engage in some banter.
Oh and there's no need to come for me like that, calling me a "sad little man". Anyway, I guess people have their own definition of "respect" : )
Wow a lot of hate coming from the comment section. Either people had unreasonable expectations going into a game with such a small budget or they just like to hate on things they never had any intention of playing.
Greedfall was a great experience and I think back fondly of it. Hella janky, but I knew that going into a Spiders game. The world building, quest design, and story are up there with any Bioware game imo.
@Jayslow LOL Literally coming back to say this. I thought it was quite a fun, inoffesive game and enjoyed my time with it, Not sure why all the vitriol for it. I probably missed some big hoo-haah about it.
@Jessica2K I guess more of a Karen than a Jessica, the Jessica's I know are usually lovely, unlike your rude entitled aggressive tone.. anyway a really good little AA rpg, once your past the admittedly rubbish intro it really picks up.
Got my upgraded version downloading right now, and a £5ish for the DLC, job done! Now back to biome 3 on Returnal
A decent game that I picked up on sale for £15, I think thats about a fair value for the quality.
Pleased I can upgrade to the PS5 version for free but why charge £30 if you got the PS+ version, just doesn't make sense, surely a max of say £10 to upgrade the PS+ to PS5 version would be more than dooable.
Not a great game.
if you can get past the jankyness it plays like an old school bioware game.
@LiamCroft I'm not sure if this is universal, but I have this via PS+ and it won't let me buy the gold version, because I already own Greedfall (but can buy Greedfall PS4)
Very greedy decision to treat ps+ players like 2nd class citizens.
It’s not like they didn’t get paid to put their game on ps+. Paid with our subscription money. This will backfire on them when they launch their next game.
Agreed @Psofo PS+ does indeed feel like a second class citizen version of games. PS+ is not free so no need to think people should be grateful for "freebies". I would rather pay for just an online component only rather than get treated like a second class citizen by the likes of greedfall. I literally only use ps+ for online gaming but even I feel offended by this situation.
The game was average but I spent quite a bit of time with it. I didn't like how there was basically the same layout of the buildings in every city. I liked the gameplay, and the loot system though, though could have used more variety. The story was mildly entertaining. I expect a lot from this team going forward, they show some promise.
@Jessica2K I tried it on ps now, think I managed about 40 minutes before deleting it, lucky really as I had been tempted before with it on sale but never bought it. Don't think I would try the ps5 version if it was free.
@Jessica2K 👊
Leaving the site anyway; can't be arsed with bigotry and small mindedness.
Bye all!
@Olmaz It is absolutely a AA title. This isn't a top of the line, end of PS4 era RPG like AC Odyssey. Not close. Its a game made by a smaller, less experienced group with limited resources. If you go into it with that mindset, I think you'll be better off.
I wouldn't call it "early PS3". More along the lines of Dragon Age 2 or Mass Effect 2 with how the graphics and gameplay are. The kind of game that would be been pretty standard around 2011-2014 at the middle to end of the PS3's lifecycle.
But if you're like me, and are really, really, really into party based RPGs with a good story and a lot of content, then I would recommend that you give it a try. This genre is by far my favorite way to game, and there are less and less games like it these days. I can only hope that smaller studios like this one keep doing their best, sell a lot of copies and get more funding in the future.
I played it and completed the main story for this game when it first came out. I had a great time with it. I will upgrade to the PS5 version and then purchase the additional content in order to play it. I am looking forward to re-visiting this game in the near future.
@Jessica2K Wow, what an awful series of immature and attention-seeking posts. Yes, please do leave.
P.S. You didn't have to announce it, you could've just left - but then that wouldn't suit your attention-seeking nature then, I guess. Don't bother responding (presumably you're refreshing the page looking for replies), I've added you to the ignored list.
@Jessica2K Byee sis ✋
@Slippship bought it day one. Loved it and still do love it. But then, I enjoy Spiders releases, Bound by Flame and The Technomancer were sure janky - still flawed but a good A-AA experience. Similar to Outward or Elex, little hidden gems if you give them the time. And now I get to experience this again for PS5.
How is this game not hitting 4k 60 on a ps5?
More importantly, I think there's a fundamental flaw with the PlayStation store that needs looking in to. These psplus offerings not qualifying for free ps5 upgrades is becoming a norm. We need to remind ourselves we're still paying for access to these games. None of these games are free, but part of a subscription.
So not being able to have access to Ps5 upgrades for control, final fantasy, borderlands, ect because they're part of an on going subscription service isn't us 'winning' no matter how some may try and defend it under the excuse we're being too entitled.
But what else is a problem is the flip side of that. Getting a game via a plus subscription ties it to your account that you 'own' said game...meaning you also now no longer qualify to purchase it when it's on sale as Sony believed you already have it and lists it unavailable. This needs looking into when they want us to 'own' the same product multiple times.
Loved this game, has a choice/consequence story that really gets great about 2 hours in as the real scope of things sinks in. The greed portion refers to colonialism with all the depths of greed present. As a player representing an actual faction it’s a real treat to see how things can spiral out of control with a little lie.
It’s quite a treat to play this on PS5, with some DLC to boot. Gotta try the evil play through, it’s just really hard to be this evil.
@Slippship Sure, opinions are great to be vast and varied but saying this is like a PS2 game is disingenuous. It’s more like, the BioWare of better days quality.
I enjoyed it for what it was: a call back to the spirit of older bioware games. I would like to see a remake after the studio is more experienced.
@Slippship yes opinions are great, even if they are disingenuous. That’s not an attack and there’s no need to feel threatened. If it’s not for you, it’s fine, obviously. But saying it’s a PS2 game is wrong, it’s obviously not. That’s all, just facts.
Ah Watchdogs. Now that’s a game I just couldn’t get into.
@Slippship huh. After now, 40 hours, I’ve not experienced any of those things. Not saying they aren’t there, just I have had no issues at all like that. In fact, have only just booted it down for the eve and was thinking how incredibly impressed I was by it all. The PS5 version, that is. But even before, on the PS4, it reminded me how much I loved party based ARPGs. And there really aren’t enough. But I’m pretty stoked you at least gave it another shot. Not everything is for everyone, and that’s just fine. Interested to know what you bounce over to next though.
