On that note, if you own a digital PS5 and have an old disc for DBZ: Kakarot, you can contact PlayStation Support and get the digital version added to your account.

In any case, we will update the article if there is any new development. 

That concludes our guide on how to fix DBZ: Kakarot PS5 upgrade not working issue.
