@ajw514_PSN said in Redeem code does not work for PS5 version with Captain Edition (PLEASE HELP):

Thanks to Cod over at Operation Sports:

You have to put the PS4 disc in the system. Then you have to hit the triangle button on the game's icon and go to the store page (or more info, can't remember exactly). Then you're giving the option to add the PS5 version to you're library for free. The same button that adds it to your library will change to Download once the game is added.

This is how the PS5 vouchers have worked for years on multiple games (MLBTS, FIFA, etc.). I wish it was easier too, but we have to work with what we have a be content.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, you still have to have the PS4 disc in the system to play the PS5 version. Again, just the way it has been since the PS5 released.

Primary account (me) secondary (my son)

I bought the Captains edition physical copy. If my son redeems the ps5 upgrade and the bonuses on his account (im being a nice dad), can I then play the ps5 version as well or will I be stuck with ps4 version. since the upgrade was on his account

@Blind_Bleeder said in Bought Captain's Version but PS5 download not showing up:

You wouldn't be able to load the program because you have to use the PS4 disc first. With a digital only console, you are locked into digital versions of games. You don't need a disc with the digital version. I think this is their way of making sure you don't give the PS4 disc to a friend after you download the PS5 version.
