First and foremost, if you wish to play both PS4 and PS5 versions of the game, it is suggested that you go for high-end versions. Only three of the editions: Digital Deluxe, Collector’s, or Regalla offer support across both consoles. Whereas, Dual Entitlement will not apply to the Standard and Special versions.

On a side note, it looks like the developers were feeling generous. Players can redeem the Nora Legacy Outfit and Spear to use in the game if they choose to pre-order any of the five.
