Same boat here. My son has a ps4, I have a ps5. I thought if we bought the JR Edition, we could play on both. Turns out, you'll need the disc in the ps5. No big deal. We put the disc in the PS5 and the only option is the PS4 edition game. Even after redeeming the code, the extras work, but no PS5 upgrade. I tried deleting and starting new, no luck.
Has anyone returned an opened game to Walmart? I'd like to take this JR edition back and just get the standard edition on disc for both the ps4 and ps5.
**Update: I was able to return the JR edition to Walmart, even though it was opened. At first the CS Rep said I needed to exchange for the same one, but since it wasn't in stock, I was able to get a ps4 and ps5 version instead. I just needed to add the extra $$.
