If You Own a PlayStation 4 Copy of Subnautica: Below Zero, Here's How To Get The PS5 Version Free

=====================================================

In recent years, game developers have been shifting their focus towards next-generation console hardware. This shift has resulted in many popular titles being made available on both older and newer systems through various means such as backwards compatibility features or even free upgrades for existing owners.

For players who may not be aware of this trend, let's take the example of Subn'terrestrial: Below Zero - a survival action-adventure game developed by Australian studio Unknown Worlds Entertainment. Released initially in 2018 exclusively on PC and later ported to other platforms including PlayStation 4 (PS4), it has since become one of the most popular titles within its genre.

As more players continue to transition from older hardware such as PS4 towards newer, more powerful systems like the PS5 or even Switch Pro (assuming that ever materializes), many are likely wondering whether they too can enjoy Subn'terrestrial: Below Zero on their brand new console without having to purchase it all over again.

Fortunately for those who have already invested in a copy of Subn'zer's latest installment, good news is indeed heading your way! If you're an existing PS4 owner looking forward to making the jump to Sony's powerful next-gen offering but aren't sure about how things will play out (pun intended), fear not - because we've got everything covered below!

So without further ado let us dive right into what exactly happens when upgrading from Subn'zero on your old faithful PlayStation 4 over to its beefier counterpart, the PS5.

To clarify things up front: Yes! If you already own a copy of Subnautica Below Zero for either the standard or limited edition on disc format (or even if it came pre-installed as part of some bundle deal), then rest assured that upgrading your game over to PlayStation 5 won't cost an extra penny!

Here's how exactly:

1. First off, make sure you have both PS4 and PS5 consoles connected via a stable internet connection - this will allow the necessary data transfer process between devices to begin seamlessly.

2. Next up, launch the 'Settings' menu on either console (usually found within Settings > System > 'Your Console Name' Info). Look out for an option labeled 'System' or something similar; click/tap onto it once you find it!

3. Now scroll down until you come across a section titled 'Update and Download'. Clicking here should bring up two options - select the first one that says “Automatic Updates On/Off'.

4. With everything set correctly now, simply restart both consoles by shutting them down completely (hold down the power button for 10 seconds) before turning back on again.

5. Once all lights are solid green once more without any error messages popping up during boot sequence completion - voila! You've successfully transitioned from playing Subnautica Below Zero as a PS4 title over to its equivalent version running smoothly on your brand spanking new PlayStation 5!

As an added bonus, if you're wondering whether this applies retroactively too (i.e., can I still get the free upgrade even though my original purchase was made before Sony's policy change came into effect), rest assured - yes indeed! As long as you meet all other eligibility criteria laid out above (being a verified owner of Subn'zero on PS4 prior to November 11th, 2020) then you're good to go!

So there you have it folks - with these simple steps and some basic knowledge about how console backwards compatibility works behind the scenes, upgrading from Subnautica Below Zero's older sibling over onto PlayStation 5 couldn't be easier or more free!
