It isn’t known yet if this is a bug or intentional, although if you have the game on PS Plus and attempt to get the PS5 version, you will have to buy it outright for £15.99. Speaking on Bethesda‘s Discord, a representative for the company commented:
PS5 Upgrade should be available for you if you OWN Fallout 4 on the PSN account. Still looking into this for the PS+ users!
