JAKARTA - Consumers will be able to upgrade the PlayStation 4 (PS4) version of Soul Hackers 2 to the PlayStation 5 (PS5) version for free. Atlus outlines these improvements via a blog post on its website. This includes confirmation that users will be able to move their data from the PS4 to PS5 version.

There are some conditions for upgrading the PS4 version of Soul Hackers 2 to the PS5 version. If consumers have purchased the PlayStation 4 physical edition of Soul Hackers 2, they will need to insert their disc into the PlayStation 5 to run the game. However, the PlayStation 5 version of the game can then be downloaded at no additional cost.

Atlus also stated that the Xbox One and Xbox Series X versions of Soul Hackers 2 will only be strictly downloaded in Japan. This means the title will not receive a physical release in the region.

In addition, the pre-order bonus will apply to Soul for both physical and digital versions of Hackers 2. Pre-order bonuses include a Persona 5 skin and access to music from the game.

The Japanese video game developer, publisher and distribution company clarified, however, that pre-order bonuses for the physical edition are limited. That doesn't apply to the digital version of the game. As long as consumers pre-order the digital version of the game prior to its official release, they will be eligible to receive the content.

Soul Hackers 2 will be released on August 25, 2022 in Japan and August 26, 2022 in North America and Europe for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.
