PS5: The PS4 game setup bug is apparently back
PS5
A bug affecting PS5 relating to the installation of PS4 games may have returned to the load, according to reports from several users on Reddit.The problem in question occurred when a PS4 game conversion was performed with disc to PS5 version. In some cases the console mistakenly installed both versions, thus taking up a lot of space in the SSD and requiring the user to manually delete the excess.
The aforementioned bug was fixed by Sony with a published firmware update last February, but, as VGC colleagues report, it seems to have manifested itself again with certain games, including Nioh, No Man's Sky and Death Stranding Director's Cut, according to reports from some users on Reddit.
PS5 For example, in the Death Stranding subreddit a player states that his PS5 installs the PS4 version of the Director's Cut every day and that he must manually delete each time. And the problem was also confirmed by other users in the comments.
We are not talking about a bug that prevents you from playing, but it sure is very annoying. The hope is obviously that Sony will publish a new update for PS5 as soon as possible that will solve the problem, perhaps this time definitively.
In the meantime, the PlayStation Store on PS5 has been updated with the new "New games" section, here's what it is and how it works.

Sony uses legal clout to force third-party PS5 faceplates off market
Sony's legal team has sent a letter to Dbrand that orders custom PlayStation 5 faceplates to be removed from sale.
Dbrand, a company that makes custom skins, wraps, and color schemes for consumer electronics, has removed its custom PS5 faceplates from the market at the behest of Sony's legal counsel. As per Dbrandh's website, Sony has sent a letter alleges Dbrand's custom Darkplates--the all-black PS5 faceplates--are in violation of copyright and trademark law.
Sony is not taking dbrand to court because the latter is complying with the former's demands. This is after dbrand brazenly goaded legal action with a rather provocative 'go ahead, sue us' tagline on its website.
Sony's legal team outlines four alleged violations:
'Notwithstanding SIE's serious concerns about dbrand's conduct and despite your company's adoption of the tagline 'Go ahead, sue us.'--Presumably with SIE in mind--our client would like to offer dbrand the courtesy of resolving this matter without the initiation of formal legal action.
'...Your company's conduct violates a host of laws. In the United Sates, this conduct constitutes counterfeiting, trademark infringement, trademark dilution, and unfair competition.'
'If dbrand refuses to cooperate in full with these demands or delays in responding to this letter, our client will be forced to take the actions it deems necessary to protect is valuable intellectual property rights.'
Dbrand has responded with a tell-all Reddit post that attempts to deconstruct Sony's arguments. The company is, however, complying with Sony's demands, and asserts that Sony is likely forcing Darkplates off the market so there's no competition with official SIE-licensed custom PS5 faceplates.
