Bandai Namco announced today along with the release date of Elden Ring that the game will offer a free upgrade to next-gen versions for those who will buy the PS4 or Xbox One version on January 21, 2022.
Let’s face it, up until now, not a lot of people have Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5 as stock shortages continue throughout the year. Those who are stuck with last-gen consoles like the PS4 or Xbox One, you are in luck as you can purchase Elden Ring early next year, and assuming there will be no more shortages of the PS5 or Xbox Series X, you will be able to upgrade free of charge.
For more information about Elden Ring, here’s an overview, via Bandai Namco:
