Bethesda clarified which owners of Fallout 4 will not be able to receive the free next-gen upgrade. It turns out that the issues with the upgrade and PlayStation Plus subscription are partially a feature, not a bug.
After the update was launched last week, PlayStation 5 owners found that the upgrade does not work with PlayStation Plus. Bethesda says that the free upgrade is only available to subscribers of the PlayStation Plus Extra catalog. Others must pay for the PS5 version of Fallout 4 if they did not already own the game completely, including PS Plus users. Meanwhile, all Xbox Game Pass subscribers will receive Fallout 4 and the next-gen upgrade without the need to purchase the full version.

The PS Plus collection gives PS5 owners several games for PS4 to play on the new console, including Bloodborne, Persona 5, and Fallout 4. However, the game was removed from PS Plus in May of last year.
As expected, people who own Fallout 4 through the PS Plus Collection and were expecting to receive the next-gen update for free expressed their disappointment online. They noted that Bethesda had previously stated that the next-gen update would be free for all Fallout 4 owners.
Bethesda also faced questions regarding refunds for Fallout 4. Users who owned the game through PlayStation Plus Extra did not have access to it due to an error, and some of them purchased the full version for PS5.
At the start, the next-gen Fallout 4 update had technical problems on PC, Steam Deck, and was not available to all PS Plus users. It has now been clarified that only PS Plus Extra subscribers have the right to it.
