PlayStation 5 players who bought The Outer Worlds expecting a free upgrade were offered a free game after Sony's rollout of Spacer's Choice Edition caused purchase confusion.
The problem centered on players buying the original version and waiting for a promised PS5 upgrade that never appeared, leaving them with the wrong edition.
Reddit users tracked the issue over the weekend as the all-inclusive Spacer's Choice Edition launched on PS5 and complaints spread across the community.
The apology highlights lingering PlayStation Network backend problems that have resurfaced during some game rollouts even after improving since the PS5 launch.
