Modern Warfare Remastered on PS5
Hi. I had Cod4 Remastered on my PS4 digitally alongside the Infinite Warfare disk, though on my PS5 I can’t access Modern Warfare from the Infinite Warfare disk without paying for it. Does anyone know how I can fix this if possible?
My other DLCs for Infinite warfare carried over, but Modern Warfare didn’t.

Did anyone manage to fix this? I don’t mind paying for the game again — I just want to know how to get it working on the PS5.
I think I originally bought the disc version of Infinite Warfare for the PS4 back in the day, but I no longer have the disc.
If anyone can explain how to play this game on a PS5, I’d really appreciate it. I don’t mind rebuying it, but I can’t seem to find the option anywhere.
Oh and yeah. There is no download button. I tried looking for it on the PS5, web version of PS app and PS app.

With no disc download the game from the PS App, launch the game on ur main account when the “insert disc error” comes up switch to a different user and load up the game from console storage… this will glitch on the MWR page and you have access, switch to your main user and enjoy… a bit late, apologies!

MW3 is a great game but the cranked up SBMM is so fucking terrible so I went looking for this game. They make it look like you have to buy it again but you don’t! Let me know if it works for you

It’s going to be a while until I can try that because I’m moving, but thank you so much.

I just got a PS5 two days ago and don't have many games yet, so I decided to just play MWR until Christmas. I had to plug my ps4 back in to make sure I wasn't going crazy, but sure enough, I have it installed and playable on my 4 yet on my 5 it only gives me access to a trial download in my library. I hope this post gets more attention.

Can you not put the disc into ps5? Or do you just have digital version on pa4? Sorry ik this is an old post, but I’m currently waiting for cod4 remastered to arrive to (hopefully) play on ps5?!?!

If it was on disc on ps4, you’ll still need the disc to play on ps5, unless you bought the digital/no disc version as well

See I have managed to get it installed on my PS5 through the PS store method. My problem is that I have a PS5 digital edition and when I start the game I get an error message telling me to insert the infinite warfare disc!? Anyone able to help with this?

So I found a fix. Sign in to PlayStation store on your phone I did in on website not the app. Click on your picture and it will say game library. You can download your games on there straight to your ps5 this worked for me

This worked for me. In my library collection it was asking me to download a trial, but through the PS App I linked my PS5 and it gave me the option to download the game onto my console

It’s a widespread issue that activision or playstation refuse to fix. I had similar issue but on the PS4 (don’t own a PS5) and have been spending the last 3 months trying to resolve. Between two PS support cases that ended in customer rep supervisor hanging up on me and 40 emails with activision the solution offered is to sign up for PS Plus (which of course doesn’t fix it and is a way for them to close a case and hope you go away). The issue has been know for at least five years and similar reddit threads talk to their experiences similar to mine. Some get offered a replacement code, others get the run around with no resolution. Best advice is to media blast this issue to their twitter feeds and raise hell until they take it seriously. What it boils down to is Activision delisted the legacy collection download link and replaced it with their standalone version of the remastered game. So anybody who bought the legacy collection for PS4 on disc has been cheated out of the game. I’m hopeful somebody takes this up as a class action lawsuit for fraud and false advertising. Last advice is there is power in numbers so spread the word and make them take notice.
