The Fallout 4 PS5 upgrade is out now as a freebie for existing owners of the game, but those of you who claimed Fallout 4 on PS Plus currently are not able to claim the update free.
Oddly enough it appears that Xbox Game Pass owners are able to claim the Fallout 4 Xbox Series X/S upgrade, but PS5 owners can only claim it free if the have outright purchased Fallout 4 on PS4 and not simply obtained the game through PS Plus.

It isn’t known yet if this is a bug or intentional, although if you have the game on PS Plus and attempt to get the PS5 version, you will have to buy it outright for £15.99. Speaking on Bethesda‘s Discord, a representative for the company commented:
PS5 Upgrade should be available for you if you OWN Fallout 4 on the PSN account. Still looking into this for the PS+ users!
Fallout 4 is now available for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, and you can read the full list of patch notes for the update here.
