So is this the dedicated PS5 release or not?

Yes it's the dedicated PS5 release. You need to uninstall the PS4 version from your PS5 and download the new PS5 version. Updating won't work, you'll still have the PS4 version.

Why would there be a dedicated PS5 release? This includes the next-gen updates, for both PS5 and Xbox Series consoles but anything that's not console-specific also applies to PC.

because its one of CDPR’s many promises

instead of doing a cross platform compromise version, doing a new-gen specific version

many publications retain ongoing speculation of that

I’m waiting for a resolution on that personally, sounds like it would be a better game

This is the dedicated PS5 release. As for why - it's because the PS4 can't run all the features in this patch.

That's what I wasn't getting... This is the next-gen release, a lot of PS5-specific features. It's not exclusively for the PS5 though, but that wouldn't make any sense.
