Frogwares announced that The Sinking City PlayStation 5 version will be released on February 19. Also, the standard version will be available at $ 49.99 and the deluxe version at $ 64.99. Those who previously purchased the game on PlayStation 4 will not be able to upgrade to the PlayStation 5 version for free. So, the reason is that the publishers of the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions are different companies. Unfortunately, an upgrade is not possible due to problems between developer Frogwares and publisher Nacon.
Furthermore, the PlayStation 5 version of The Sinking City, the adventure and investigation game inspired by H.P. Lovecraft, will offer native 4K resolution, 60 frame rate, fast loading times, enhanced graphics, and DualSense features support. Finally, you can check out the debut trailer from the player below.
