I been trying to figure it out for the past 30 mins, I put the Valhalla Disc(PS4) into my PS5, I browse the PSN store and don't see anywhere to Upgrade to the PS5 version. Has anyone done this yet?

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla - how to upgrade from PS4 to PS5 for free | TheSixthAxis
Ubisoft recently announced that several of its games launching from now into 2021 will be eligible for a free next generation upgrade on PlayStation 5 and

there's going to be so many people that aren't going to realize you can do this

LOL sorry guys I had the disc in backwards, diden't even know that was possible, so I was getting disc read errors lol thanks everyone for the help

This worked ty, sorry had the disc in facing the wrong direction, so the game was not showing up.
It's an honest mistake. I think it makes more sense for the label to be on the right if the console is vertical. But if you did that, (had the console been horizontal), the label would be facing down, thus the error.
I legit cant believe people are doing this lol. Is your PS5 at least vertical?
I was wondering if that was the case since I don't have any disk games yet. That sucks.
Im just used to the disc drive portion of consoles being on the upper side of the console. It's on the lower side on this one. I also stuck a disc in the wrong way my first time and got disc read errors.

Exactly this, I have the console vertical and put the disc in with lable facing to the right (logical I thought at least) lol
This. My friend came over and he purchased it on PS4. He logged onto my PS5 with the PS App QR code sign in, clicked on his game in library, installed the PS5 version wicked fast and was playing his previous save in no time.
It's all so easy and seamless now on both systems. Quality of life as far as this transition has been so wonderful on both consoles.
I did the same thing. I assumed the disc would go toward the middle of the console (when it's vertical). Wasn't until I looked at the system box where it is shown horizontal did I know it didn't go that way haha.
Japanese AC has a censored. I don't think it's will work with US store
I was going to but the one I had seems to be gone and I'm going to sell off Valhalla. I'll try that next time if this happens again.
That might be the reason why! Hopefully, next time I get a PS4 version with a free upgrade I won't have the same problem.
I am having this issue, but my disc is inserted the right way up. I copied and downloaded the updates for the game onto my PS5 from the PS4 disc but I can't seem to find anywhere where I can get the free upgrade. Any one know what I'm doing wrong? I'm in Europe using a UK account, if that matters at all.
The upgrade here is the full PS5 native version of the game. Better everything: resolutions, graphics, textures, framerate, load times.
Same here. I do get the game version option on Dirt 5 (digital) though.
PS5 is not region free, your disc version and PSN account should be the same to see the upgrade type.
Several people have it horizontal but with the disc on top, as they did not install the stand, they just lay it on their side with disc on top a la PS3, thinking it's easier to access that way.
Jesus this has been pissing me off. I don't think you can upgrade to PS5 yet in the UK - the free download just isn't an option anywhere. Super annoying.
This might be the worst part of it. In some instances it will continue to download the PS4 version every time you enter the disk. It's so dumb.
It will do this every time the system is powered on (or wakes up from rest mode) with the disc inserted. It's quite annoying - I'm considering just installing the PS4 version to an external drive just to make it stop. Except, you know, the problems people are having with external drives resulting in errors and potentially bricking consoles...
I 100% agree. I was so worried that I was going to download the wrong version of CoD Black Ops Cold War. Clicking the three-dots or hamburger first is really not intuitive.
I went to start the game yesterday and the PS5 said I had to download it first. For some reason the CoD Game App/folder tried to start the PS4 version. I had to switch this to the PS5 version via options. WTF?
I'm not getting much response on here from others but from my experience, the answer to this is yes. I've got Sackboy on PS4 and the first thing you see is a card to download upgrade for the PS5 version. From reading articles, I believe we should see something similar for Valhalla, but instead it's just the a generic buy Valhalla for £59.99 card. Surprised there's not more discussion going on but hopefully it's updated soon.
Its pretty infuriating tbh. Thats two of my launch games inaccessible until they fix it. Kinda tempted to grab MM or sackboy while they sort it out
Be warned, OP. The PS5 version has a different trophy stack. So if you're shooting for the platinum, you'll essentially have to re-acquire the trophies you already got on the PS4 version.
You can avoid this if you just play the PS4 version on PS5.

I was struggling to get the uploaded save too and you have to follow a very specific set of instructions to get the save uploaded! Manually save, wait two minutes, press options, then go 'quit to main menu'. If you then go 'Load Game' and look at the save games, the recent one you did should have a little cloud icon beneath it, meaning it's uploaded. If you save and then just cancel to the PS4 menu, rather than the game's own main menu, it won't upload (it seems to me)
