As of now, there is no upgrade path to get the graphically upgraded Spider-Man Remastered on PlayStation 5 for players who already own the original Spider-Man on PlayStation 4, according to a statement provided to Kotaku by Sony.

Got that?
Not only is there not a free upgrade for the PlayStation 4 game. They can’t even just buy it, according to Sony’s statement.
PlayStation 4 Spider-Man owners who want to play the upgraded version of the Peter Parker game on PlayStation 5 need to buy the $70 Ultimate Edition of Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, because that’s the only offering Sony is selling that includes the remaster.
Things get a little strange when other versions of Miles Morales enter the equation. By purchasing Miles Morales on PlayStation 4, players will also gain access to the PlayStation 5 version free of charge, but that’s just for Miles.
From there, a $20 “paid upgrade” will bump standard versions of Miles Morales up to the Ultimate Edition, which gives them the PlayStation 5 upgrade of the PlayStation 4 Peter Parker game.
“The paid upgrade offer is eligible both if you’re upgrading from PS4 to PS5 and if you buy the standard Miles Morales edition on PS5,” Sony said in a follow-up statement.
