Other participating retailersWe’ll keep you posted on additional opportunities to make your Battlefield 4 transition from current-gen to next-gen easier, and feel free to check with your favorite local retailer to see if they are offering similar upgrade options.
UPDATE: EA UK Marketing man Dan Sheridan clarified the original tweet stating BF4 Premium might be needed to transfer stats. In short, it’s not, but you can, of course transfer your BF4 Premium membership to next-gen and that is a one time thing. Once you transfer stats, DLCs, it’s final.
We’ve updated the headline to reflect this clarification.
Original StoryEA has detailed the upgrade offer for people moving from PlayStation 3 to PlayStation 4 with Battlefield 4. The UK guys get a different deal to everyone else:
UK:GAME – Play now and get £40 towards your next-gen upgradeBuy a copy of Battlefield 4 PlayStation 3 from GAME. When you’re ready to upgrade, return back to your local GAME store and trade in your PlayStation 3 version and receive £40 towards an upgrade for a PlayStation 4 version. For complete terms and conditions visit Game.co.uk here.
Worldwide:Sony PlayStationInside marked physical copies of Battlefield 4 for PlayStation 3 there will be a voucher with a unique code printed on it. This code will allow you the one-time offer of buying a digital version of Battlefield 4 via the PlayStation Store for only £10, which we assume will be $10 for U.S. users.
Also, regarding transferring your stats from current to next-gen, PS community manager Chris Owen (Envisager) has posted on the forums that your stats and DLC will transfer “one time” to your next-gen platform (via SixthAxis):
“If you purchased Premium then the DLC and stats will transfer one time only from PS3 > PS4.”
The post on the Official PlayStation Forums says:
“I bring you news from EA on how they wish to make it easy for BF4 fans to upgrade from the current generation of consoles to the next generation of entertainment. That’s why today we are clarifying the offers that will make the transition effortless, saving you time and money. “
If we interpret what Owens said, then this means those who didn’t buy BF4 Premium won’t be able to transfer their DLC and stats. We’ve emailed EA to ask for an official statement regarding this and will update the post once they’ve replied.
