Darksiders: Warmastered has been re-released for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Xbox players who already own the Xbox One version can upgrade for free, receiving native 4K rendering, 60fps gameplay, and a new Photo Mode. PS5 players upgrading from the PS4 edition must pay $10. The current-gen editions primarily increase resolution and frame rate, with Photo Mode as an additional feature. Xbox Smart Delivery automatically provides optimized versions for compatible titles across console generations. Compatible games show a Smart Delivery icon on cases or in the Xbox digital marketplace. PS5 lacks an equivalent system, and upgrade pricing varies by title. The current-gen editions cost $30, reflecting a $10 increase over last-gen standalone versions.
"The good news is that if you're on Xbox and already own Darksiders for Xbox One, that upgrade is free and brings with it native 4K rendering, 60fps gameplay, and a new Photo Mode. The bad news is that if you're on PS5, upgrading the PS4 edition is going to cost you $10 (via Prima Games). It's worth noting that, beyond the photo mode, the new current-gen edition only adds a bump in resolution and frame rate, features that many game developers have added for free to their respective titles throughout the current console generation."
"Most Xbox games with upgrade paths are free as part of the console's Smart Delivery system. Introduced alongside the Xbox Series X|S consoles in late 2020, the feature automatically ensures that you're getting the best version of a game you've previously purchased, regardless of your console's generation. For example, purchasing a Smart Delivery game for your Xbox One means that you'll gain access to its optimized version if you hop to Xbox Series X|S."
"Not every game is supported, but the compatible titles will feature a "Smart Delivery" icon on the physical game case or in the Xbox digital marketplace. In comparison, the PS5 does not have a similar feature. Many games released for it do offer free graphical upgrades, whereas several other first-party titles like the remastered The Last of Us and Horizon games required you to purchase those upgrades."
"On its own, the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S editions of Darksiders: Warmastered cost $30, up $10 from their last-gen standalone versions. Darksiders was originally released for PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 in 2010, with the Warmastered Edition arriving in 2016--a year after its sequel, Darksiders 2, received a Deathinitive Edition upgrade on last-gen consoles."
