It is interesting to note that EA has made no mention of if buying the current-gen versions will give players the past-gen DLC for free as well. The info-graphic, provided by EA, makes it seem as if this is purely a “free upgrade” rather than a true cross-buy structure.
EA also stresses the point that this upgrade/cross-buy is for the DLC only and a separate copy of the game will need to be purchased.
It would be interesting to see how many players actually take advantage of this offer since a new copy of the game must be purchased for your corresponding console family. Regardless of how practical something like this is to the general public, it is a most welcome gesture on EA’s part.
