Frogwares revealed today that a PS5 version of The Sinking City will be released digitally for $49.99, and a Deluxe Edition for $64.99.
Unfortunately, The Sinking City for PS5 will not offer any sort of free upgrade for those who have purchased the PS4 version. Per Frogware, “The Sinking City on PlayStation 4 and on PlayStation 5 have different publishers on record. On PlayStation 5, Frogwares is the developer and publisher of the game. As the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 games have different game IDs and due to an ongoing current legal and technical situation, this game is currently not eligible for a platform upgrade.”
Here’s an overview of the game, via Frogwares:
