PS Plus users who were locked out of a free PS5 port of a 2022 PS4 Essential monthly freebie can now claim the upgrade and keep it for good. The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan‘s PS4 version was given away for free before the PS5 version’s launch. However, a glitch prevented some PS Plus users from claiming the free upgrade, which has now been resolved.
PS Plus Essential users were locked out of Man of Medan’s free PS5 upgrade due to a PS Store glitch
When Man of Medan’s PS5 version was added to the PS Plus Extra catalog later in 2022, it triggered a PS Store glitch that prevented Essential users from downloading the PS5 copy of the game, leaving them stuck with the PS4 version.
Now that Man of Medan has finally left the PS Plus Extra catalog, the glitch has been resolved. A huge thanks to Reddit user Aforumguy26 for pointing this out, as we had forgotten about the free upgrade ourselves.
Unfortunately, those who couldn’t wait for the glitch to be fixed and downloaded Man of Medan’s PS5 version via the Extra catalog have ended up overriding their permanent Essential license (we’ve only warned about this thousands of times).
If you previously claimed Man of Medan via PS Plus Essential but now only have access to a free trial, you’ve lost your license to the full game.
