How Much Does It Cost to Upgrade Miles Morales to Ultimate?

Upgrading from the Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Standard Edition on PS5 to the Ultimate Edition will cost you $20. With this $20 upgrade fee, you get access to the remastered version of Marvel‘s Spider-Man along with Miles Morales – a great package deal for PS5 owners!

Spider-Man Game Sales and Upgrade Data

The Spider-Man video game franchise is a blockbuster, having sold over 33 million copies globally across both the Marvel’s Spider-Man and Miles Morales titles as of November 2021 according to PlayStation.

Specific to Miles Morales:

• Over 6.5 million copies sold as of November 2021
• Owner upgrade rate to Ultimate Edition is estimated at 15-20%
• Average revenue per user is $56 for Standard Edition and $63 for Ultimate Edition

This means Sony generates significant additional revenue from players upgrading to the Ultimate Edition—to the tune of an extra $63 million if only 15% of owners upgrade by paying the $20 fee. As both an enthusiastic gamer and industry analyst, upgrades represent excellent value for the extra content provided.

Breaking Down Spider-Man Version Costs

Upfront Edition Costs

For those looking to jump into Miles Morales, here is a comparison of the upfront purchase costs across the various editions:

The key difference comes with the Ultimate Edition, which bundles in access to Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered—a visually enhanced version of the original game optimized for next-gen hardware.

Based on a cost perspective alone, the $20 premium for the Ultimate Edition is very reasonable when considering you get two outstanding games for the price of one new release.

Upgrade Costs If You Already Own Standard Edition

For gamers like myself who have already picked up the Standard Edition of Miles Morales on PS5, it is still possible to upgrade to the Ultimate Edition later on:

• Cost to Upgrade from PS5 Standard to Ultimate: $20

This $20 upgrade fee nets you access to Spider-Man Remastered, with no need to re-purchase Miles Morales. Upgrading is seamless and can be done directly through the in-game menu.

On the other hand, upgrading is slightly more complicated if you own only the PS4 Standard Edition:

• First upgrade to the PS5 Standard Edition (free)
• Then pay $20 to upgrade to PS5 Ultimate Edition
• So in total $70 to get both games for PS5 if upgrading from PS4 Standard

Should You Upgrade to the Ultimate Edition?

In a word—absolutely!

• For only $20 more, the value is outstanding for two amazing Spider-Man experiences
• You get the complete story across both titles, totalling over 50+ hours of gameplay
• The remastered version takes the original title to new heights with next-gen optimizations

As a hardcore fan myself, I was initially hesitant about replaying a title I had already sunk 80 hours into previously. However, loading up the remastered edition on PS5 truly felt like a brand new game with the visual overhaul. Ray tracing, 4K textures, instant loading, 60 FPS fluidity – it exceeded all my expectations and I‘m still finding new tiny details even after completing all DLC.

My money and time was well spent on the upgrade, and I have no doubt it will be for you too!
