To get a similar discount, you’re doing exactly the same as those in America — buying the PS4 version and relying on the free PS5 upgrade. This ensures that rather than paying £69, you can get over £10 off a version of the game that works across more systems (in case you lend your copy to your friends) and save money in the long run.
