Free PS5 Remaster of 2019 Adventure Game Shadow Dropped

The Sinking City free PS5 remaster

An underrated PS4 gem has just received a free PS5 remaster for existing owners. Frogwares’ Lovecraftian action adventure game The Sinking City has received a significant overhaul, and comes with bells and whistles like 4K textures.

The Sinking City PS5 remaster is free for existing owners, discounted for everyone else

The Unreal Engine 5 remaster comes with the following upgrades:

  • Lumen Global Illumination and ray tracing
  • 4K textures and extra environmental details
  • Performance (prioritizes frame rate) and Quality (prioritizes visual fidelity) modes
  • Photo mode
  • Improvements to controls, combat, game balance, crowds, and tutorials

Those who didn’t already own The Sinking City on PS4 have until May 22 to avail a 50% discount offer on the PS Store. The remaster will be available for $24.99 until then, after which it’ll cost $49.99.

PS Plus Premium users can stream The Sinking City Remastered.

“The Sinking City is an adventure and investigation game set in an open world inspired by the universe of H.P. Lovecraft, the master of Horror,” says Frogwares. “The half-submerged city of Oakmont is gripped by supernatural forces. You’re a private investigator, and you have to uncover the truth of what has possessed the city… and the minds of its inhabitants.”

For those wondering, the PS4 version and PS5 remaster are currently the same price, so there’s no benefit to buying the last-gen version and then upgrading.

PS4 Game Going Offline After 4 Years, Free PS5 Upgrade Offered

Free PS5 upgrade

Another PS4 game is set to shut down this year, with a free PS5 upgrade offered to existing owners. Multiplayer survival game Rust will be going offline on last-gen consoles, including Xbox One, four years after launch as its current-gen version is released on the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S this summer. The PC version remains unaffected.

Rust owners will get free PS5 upgrade but the game will be pulled from PS4

Developer Double Eleven has said that Rust won’t be playable on both current and last-gen consoles simultaneously, choosing instead to focus its attention on the PS5 version. PS4 players can claim the free PS5 upgrade whether they own a current-gen console or not, but won’t be able to continue playing as it is.

Rust PS5 will be available in standard, deluxe, and ultimate editions. Prices and release date will be announced in due course along with upgrade options.

As for when Rust will go offline on PS4, Double Eleven has said that support will end in late October. “To mark the occasion, we are planning something special: the ‘Wipe of Wipes,’ a memorable send-off to celebrate the legacy of old-gen,” the studio wrote.

Rust is currently full-priced on PS Store. We’ll update our readers if it goes on sale.
