The disc-free console means you won't be able to upgrade from Madden 21 on PS4 to PS5 for free.

That's only if you bought the disc version for PS4. If you buy it digitally on the PS4 you'll be able to get the free upgrade on the digital only PS5. At least that's how I understand it.

I have a feeling that this upcoming console generation, will be the last generation for hard disc.

Heard that same thing 7 years ago. Hard discs aren't going anywhere for a long time.

What about if say I buy the Disc Version but buy the game Digitally on ps4 will I still qualify for the free upgrade??

I need to get the disc version because It's. My only way to watch my dvd's & blu-ray movies i own

If not for those I would buy the all digital system..

So if I buy madden digital on ps4 then buy a disc version PS5 would I still get the upgrade?

This thread is pretty misleading.... All that's saying is you can either upgrade disc to disc, or digital to digital and not across.

But if you buy Madden 21 on disc for PS4, you'll apparently run into an issue if you opt for the PS5 digital edition. EA's press release notes, "Physical discs cannot currently be used to upgrade to discless consoles." We don't yet know if there will be a new Xbox without a disc drive--it could be the rumored Xbox Lockhart--but at the very least, those who don't care about a PS5 disc drive (or simply opt for one because it's the only model they can find in stock) could be locked out of this free upgrade. If you plan ahead, you can avoid this headache by simply buying Madden 21 on PS4 digitally.

Yes, you would still be able to upgrade to the digital PS5 version.
