My PS5 started pre-downloading both the ps5 and ps4 versions of the game, do I need both or can I delete the ps4 version?
It is also showing the ps5 version as standard edition even though I bought digital deluxe
Sony needs to work on this there is no reason that both versions should preload on the same console.
I need to wait and see the DD stream before I will even pre-order.
The fact that Sony can't figure out how to make the correct version download in 2021 is a little embarrassing. Clearly Microsoft had enough foresight with Smart Delivery. Did Sony just not think this would be an issue? Do they not know how to make it work, or was there just not enough time before launch with people working from home?
I guess it could be worse. Sony may overlook some things and make boneheaded tone deaf decisions at times, but at least they're not eating paste in the corner like Nintendo.

Tatis is Cover boy that is why it shows up, Only time you need to worry about ps4 version is when you get the hard copy version b/c it needs the disc to play on ps5. How many gigs did it download of each version? Ps5 will be bigger than ps4 due to stadium creator.
I would guess both download so you can't use ps4 version on another account and double dip pre-Order bonuses.
I have Digital Deluxe ps4 only i think it was like 44 gigs. Past years it has been like 60 gigs, so seems like that could be indication of a more optimized game.
Nope; remember: you’ll have to play an exhibition of Rays vs Dodgers as the rest of the game downloads and installs...
I've never had to do that on a pre order download. I have when i bought it after launch but never on a pre order as far i can remember. I don't think? You messin with the ol man's memory?

Saw a screenshot showing a 59 gig download.
Not sure the space it will take once expanded and installed.
-
I'm now confused a lot. Just started download from my PS5 library and it shows I'm downloading PS5 Standard edition... I bought Jackie's Deluxe Digital, so what is going on?
-
You will get your cards & stubs after you open the game, when the game connects to the sds server the pre order bonuses will be there.
-
And will I be able to play on 16th?

Yep, you should see a countdown timer after its downloaded.
-
Oh yes, thanks, now I see the countdown, it's 6d 10h... thanks for help, I was scared, cause I have free day from my job for the 16th

Do you own a PS5 and play with PS4 friends? Sony doesn’t worry which game is cross platform and which users are going to use which version if they have PS4 friends. It loads both so you don’t have to worry. It’s quite convenient. When I play with friends in some games it’s cross platform, some games aren’t and the PS4 version is needed. When I don’t play with them I don’t lower my console to the PS4 version for no reason I pay the PS5 version. No a big deal, certainly not worth not buying a product over.

Just FYI if your serious there is almost always TWO different downloads now for games. The first download is about 20-30% of the full size and you’ll get an “MLB the show is ready to play” prompt. This allows you to play an exhibition game while the other 70% loads. Playing that will slow down the other part of the download so you want to wait for it to say “MLB the show is installed” to get playing the full game as fast as possible.
You can go to downloads in the PS menu and see it visually as well.

That is kind of irrelevant. The vast majority of people will not want they game installed twice on the same console. It should default to the version of whatever console it is downloading to and then if the player wants to have both then they can manually kick off the other install.
As a PS5 only owner I don't need Sony wasting my bandwidth and using up a chunk of my data cap installing both versions.

How can you tell which version is ps5?
If you have it downloaded on your home screen hit the options button when on the icon for the game and go down to game version. There will be a check mark next to the version for that icon.
