Endless Ragnarok is on PS5 and PS4. Learn whether to buy the full edition or Upgrade Kit, how the free PS4-to-PS5 base-game upgrade works, and when PS Plus is required.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok is available on both PS5 and PS4. If you do not own Granblue Fantasy: Relink on PlayStation, the full Endless Ragnarok Standard Edition is the straightforward entry point. If you already own Relink on PlayStation, buy the Endless Ragnarok Upgrade Kit instead of repurchasing the base game.

There is one especially useful rule for returning PS4 owners: the current PlayStation Store says the PS4 version of Granblue Fantasy: Relink can be upgraded to the PS5 version at no extra cost. That means moving from a PS4 console to a PS5 console does not automatically mean buying the full Endless Ragnarok bundle again.

Which PS5 edition should you buy?

Use your PlayStation library as the first decision point, not the product name.

Your situationBest routeCurrent US list-price reference
You do not own Granblue Fantasy: Relink on PlayStationEndless Ragnarok Standard Edition$59.99
You already own Relink on PlayStationEndless Ragnarok Upgrade Kit (Standard)$29.99
You own Relink and want the Special extrasUpgrade Kit (Special Edition)$54.99
You are new and want the Special extrasFull Special Edition$79.99

These prices are US MSRP references, not guarantees for every region, tax rate, or sale. The ownership logic is more important than the number: new player = full edition; existing same-platform owner = Upgrade Kit.

PS4 owner moving to PS5: what should you do?

The PlayStation Store specifically states that the PS4 version of Granblue Fantasy: Relink can be upgraded to the PS5 version at no extra cost. Existing PS4 owners do not need to purchase the full Endless Ragnarok product merely to obtain PS5 access to the base game.

Use this order:

  1. Sign in to the same PlayStation account that owns your PS4 Relink copy.
  2. Confirm that the base-game entitlement is visible in your library.
  3. Claim or download the PS5 base-game version if your account offers it and you have not done so already.
  4. Once the PS5 base game is recognized, buy the Endless Ragnarok Upgrade Kit on that PlayStation account.
  5. Update the game before troubleshooting the expansion entitlement.

This route prevents a common duplicate purchase: buying a $59.99 full edition even though your PlayStation account already owns the base game.

Does the PS5 version require PS Plus?

PS Plus is required for online features on the paid PlayStation game, not for ordinary solo play. The current PlayStation Store listing says an active internet connection and PlayStation Plus membership are required for online features.

That matters for Endless Ragnarok because a major part of its appeal is online co-op and crossplay. If you want to join friends on Steam, Switch 2, PS4, or another PS5, your PlayStation account needs the online access required by the store listing.

There is an important exception: the official Endless Ragnarok demo has separate rules. Cygames says PS Plus is not required for online multiplayer in the demo on PS5 or PS4. Do not confuse that demo benefit with the requirements for the paid full game.

Does PS5 support crossplay?

Yes. Endless Ragnarok supports crossplay across PS5, PS4, Steam, and Nintendo Switch 2. Ver. 2.0.2 also added better PlayStation session tools, including creating and searching for online sessions.

Crossplay does not transfer purchases. If you own Relink on PlayStation, buy the PlayStation Upgrade Kit. A Steam copy does not satisfy the PlayStation add-on requirement, even though Steam and PlayStation users can play supported online quests together.

That distinction is worth remembering when friends recommend the platform they use. You do not need to match their hardware for co-op, but you do need the correct license on your own platform.

What does PS5 Pro Enhanced mean?

The PlayStation listing marks the product as PS5 Pro Enhanced, and Ver. 2.0.2 added a new Graphics Mode option for PlayStation 5 Pro. That confirms dedicated PS5 Pro support exists.

However, the store page does not provide a complete specification sheet for the enhancement. Do not turn the badge into unverified claims about a specific resolution, frame rate, ray-tracing mode, or 120 Hz option unless a current official source explicitly states those numbers.

For purchasing purposes, the safer conclusion is simple: PS5 Pro owners have an enhanced graphics option, but the correct edition choice still depends on whether the account already owns Relink.

Standard vs Special on PS5

The Special products are optional value bundles, not a requirement for the expansion's core story or systems.

The full Special Edition includes the base game, Upgrade Kit, Endless Ragnarok Special Pack, and Granblue Fantasy: Relink DLC Collection. The Special Upgrade Kit includes the expansion plus those extra DLC groups but requires an existing base game.

Choose Standard if your priority is the playable expansion itself. Choose Special only if you have checked the included cosmetics, items, and prior DLC and actually value them.

The price gap is $25 at the US MSRP level between matching Standard and Special tiers. That premium is for the extra content bundle, not a separate version of Chaos, Conflux, new story, Summons, or the six Endless Ragnarok characters.

Can you buy Endless Ragnarok physically for PS5?

Yes. Cygames lists a physical Standard Edition for newcomers, including a PlayStation 5 physical version. It includes the base game plus Endless Ragnarok.

That physical route is most useful if you do not own Relink and specifically want a boxed console copy. Existing owners should not buy the physical full edition merely to add the expansion; the Upgrade Kits are digital and are designed for that use case.

Also keep first-production bonuses separate from the core purchase. Cygames says physical bonus content is limited to the first production run. Since the original preorder window has already passed, do not assume every current retail copy still includes a usable bonus.

Common PS5 buying mistakes

Buying the Upgrade Kit without the base game

The Upgrade Kit requires Granblue Fantasy: Relink. If your PlayStation library does not show the base game, choose the full Endless Ragnarok edition instead.

Rebuying the full game after moving from PS4

Check your existing PS4 entitlement first. The PlayStation Store explicitly says the PS4 base game can be upgraded to PS5 at no extra cost.

Assuming crossplay transfers your purchase

Crossplay allows mixed-platform co-op. It does not make a PlayStation license valid on Steam or Switch 2.

Assuming Special contains essential gameplay

Special adds bonus packs. Standard already supplies the core Endless Ragnarok expansion path.

Assuming PS Plus is required for solo play

The PlayStation Store ties PS Plus to online features. A player who only wants solo content does not need PS Plus just to own and play the game offline.

A safe PS5 checkout checklist

Before buying, confirm five things:

  1. The PlayStation account you will use is the same one that owns your base game, if you already have Relink.
  2. PS4 owners have checked the free PS5 base-game upgrade before rebuying anything.
  3. Existing owners select an Upgrade Kit, while newcomers select a full edition.
  4. Special buyers have reviewed the actual bonus pack contents.
  5. Players planning online co-op have PlayStation Plus and the current game update installed.

That sequence eliminates most edition mistakes before payment.

Bottom line

Endless Ragnarok is fully available on PS5 and PS4. New PlayStation players should buy the full Standard Edition unless they deliberately want Special extras. Existing Relink owners should normally buy the Standard Upgrade Kit.

If you own the PS4 version of Relink and have moved to PS5, claim the no-cost PS5 base-game upgrade first rather than rebuying the whole game. PS Plus is required for online features, while solo play does not depend on a subscription. PS5 also participates in Endless Ragnarok crossplay with PS4, Steam, and Nintendo Switch 2.
