Marvel’s Avengers confirmed as free upgrade to PS5

See how the PS5 version of Marvel's Avengers will shine when it lands this Holiday.

blog.playstation.com

Therefore, we’re happy to announce that when you purchase Marvel’s Avengers for the PS4 platform, either digitally or on disc, and later upgrade to a PS5, you get the PS5 version of the game with all of its enhancements free of charge!

For that, Marvel’s Avengers will offer a high framerate mode on PS5, which targets 60 FPS with dynamic 4K resolution.

No Smart Delivery for XSX ?

 

[ethomaz]

I thought SmartDelivery was exclusive to Xbox.

 

[JLMC469]

Targets 60fps? Dynamic 4K?

 

[ethomaz]

Dynamic 4K?

You will see a lot of Dynamic 4k, 30fps, 1080p, etc games this new gen.

No Smart Delivery for XSX ?

The source is sony, why would they confirm XSX smart delivery?

 

[DavJay]

Sony moneyhat smart delivery?

 

[Thirty7ven]

Imagine that. Who would’ve guessed you didn’t need a fancy name for PS5 patches.

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

Does it have a Fidelity Mode with locked 4K30 like Dark Souls Remake?

I thought SmartDelivery was exclusive to Xbox.

Smart Delivery itself is exclusive to MS but Sony have a more decentralized equivalent in Cross Buy.

So they can't guarantee 4K and 60 fps on PS5. They need dynamic resolution to make up for it...

For whatever reason, the PS Blog hasn’t quite got into breaking Switch and Xbox news yet.

Measuring of certain objects aside, it is so, so good for gamers that this is catching on across both platforms.

 

[The Hamburglar]

So if you buy the game it will work on a ps5 or PS4? The ps5 version will be different with improved FPS, resolution and other enhancements? Sounds smart; I’m glad they delivered.

 

[AceofJakes]

Real talk, this is great for all gamers, playstation or Xbox. Might be case for me of buying it later at a cheaper price and then upgrading to PS5 version!

 

[Dory16]

You will see a lot of Dynamic 4k, 30fps, 1080p, etc games this new gen.

on the PS5 that will be the norm, I agree.

 

[Hostile_18]

So they can't guarantee 4K and 60 fps on PS5. They need dynamic resolution to make up for it...

And people had dreams about 120 fps always a pipe dream.

But this is good news along with Cyberpunk.

 

[ethomaz]

on the PS5 that will be the norm, I agree.

Xbox too.
Well the games showed already are 30fps or 1080p... or others settings.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

You will see a lot of Dynamic 4k, 30fps, 1080p, etc games this new gen.

Dynamic res down to 1080p? Sure setting the bar low for PS5. Almost every PS4 base game is 1080p already.

 

[Grinchy]

Sony really needs to slap a name on this magical process and pretend it's game-changing for the industry during times when they have nothing else worth discussing!

 

[ethomaz]

Dynamic res down to 1080p? Sure setting the bar low for PS5.

And Xbox.

Minecraft for example.

Dynamic 4K for a next gen console... Are they for real?

 

[iorek21]

It seems that I’ll be buying lots of games for the PS4 rather than PC this year.

I’m sure my PC can handle these games, but not at 4k (haven’t even got a 4k monitor, nor a modern gpu), and not with RTX, so it seems like a good deal.

AC Valhalla and Crash 4 I’ll buy on PS4 for sure, but I’ll think a little for Cyberpunk and RE8, as FPS annoy me on consoles

 

[BlackM1st]

Game looks and sounds like a flustercluck in hyper slowmo.

 

[fermcr]

The game looks like a piece of crap... 4K won't save it.

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

Sony really needs to slap a name on this magical process and pretend it's game-changing for the industry during times when they have nothing else worth discussing!

Imagine being this triggered by a Sony blog post that makes absolutely no mention of any other platform or ecosystem whatsoever. How high is that flag you're waving, good sir?

 

[Armorian]

Dynamic 4K for a next gen console... Are they for real?

This will be standard in majority of games.

 

[Deleted member 775630]

This will be standard in majority of games.

Why? How so? And do you mean on every next gen console or only on the PS5?

 

[Grinchy]

Imagine being this triggered by a Sony blog post that makes absolutely no mention of any other platform or ecosystem whatsoever. How high is that flag you're waving, good sir?

Oh, someone is triggered alright!

 

[Snake29]

You will see a lot of Dynamic 4k, 30fps, 1080p, etc games this new gen.

The game will be 4K/30 Graphics mode, or dynamic 4K/60.

Yes and they should tell publishers to stop saying “free” like it’s charity. Have a service called “Enhance play” or something to differentiate between BC enhancements by default and upgrades taking full advantage of the next-gen hardware.

 

[bitbydeath]

Dynamic 4K for a next gen console... Are they for real?

This isn’t unprecedented, remember Hellblade 2 is 1440p and 24FPS.

 

[Celcius]

Dynamic 4K? OOF

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

"Which targets 60fps..."

Blech.

 

[Andodalf]

Why? How so? And do you mean on every next gen console or only on the PS5?

Would you rather have framedrops, or every game actually be designed to run at 4K 75 FPS so that the 1% frametimes stay above 60?

Variable res >>>>> dropped frames. Hopefully it isn’t too aggressive and we get a 4K image most of the time

 

[hemo memo]

Resolution is the least of that game’s problems.

 

[Tripolygon]

Without any optimization work, the loading and streaming of Marvel’s Avengers improved by an order of magnitude on PS5. When optimization is complete, loading content will be nearly instant

First confirmation that no optimization is needed to take advantage of PS5 SSD.

 

[Andodalf]

First confirmation that no optimization is needed to take advantage of PS5 SSD.

I mean, duh. We’ve always known that SSDs give inherently better loading times. But optimizations make it even better

You missed Cerny talk?

 

[Rheon]

'Dynamic 4K targeting 60fps'

Lol

 

[Mister Wolf]

Targets 60fps? Dynamic 4K?

That RTX 2070 performance.

 

[Tripolygon]

I mean, duh. We’ve always known that SSDs give inherently better loading times. But optimizations make it even better

You missed Cerny talk?

What part of first confirmation don't you understand? A 3rd party developer confirming they don't need to optimize specifically for the PS5 SSD. There were lots of debate among these forums about how developers have to optimize for PS5 SSD.

 

[Neo Blaster]

Measuring of certain objects aside, it is so, so good for gamers that this is catching on across both platforms.

I'd be really shocked to see a publisher offer free upgrades on one platform and charge for it on the other.

 

[Neo Blaster]

They already have a name, it's called Crossbuy.

 

[DForce]

Targets 60fps? Dynamic 4K?

You're not getting 4K\60fps with ULTRA settings on all games even with a high end desktop GPU.

 

[Andodalf]

Wow. My dude, you gotta re read those threads. 0 of them were about loading. Wow. Oof. That’s not what people meant in those threads.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

EA, and Acti rn: Hold my beer

Pre-order COD now and get cross-buy for free!

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

Oh, someone is triggered alright!

So triggered he's green with envy

 

[Tripolygon]

Wow. My dude, you gotta re read those threads. 0 of them were about loading. Wow. Oof. That’s not what people meant in those threads.

Wow my dude gotta re read those threads. Lots people claimed 3rd party games will not be optimized to take advantage of PS5 SSD speeds. I know because i engaged in some of those discussion telling people that developers don't need to optimize to take advantage of the SSD. Save your oof for yourself.

Did Mark Cerny say PS5 had hardware accelerated ray tracing? Weren't there debates upon debates that PS5 did not have hardware accelerated ray tracing? And haven't we now seen 3rd party developers confirming it with their games?

 

[Rolla]

Smart deliver is XBOX's marketing Jargon for "Free Upgrade" right?

 

[MoreJRPG]

So they can't guarantee 4K and 60 fps on PS5. They need dynamic resolution to make up for it...

RTX 2080s can barely hold 4K at 60fps. Why you expected a 9tflops GPU to target that is beyond me. People really are in for a rude awakening if they expect 4K at 60fps on the PS5. The Series X will struggle to hit that as well and it’s got serious horsepower.
