Report: Battlefield 4 DLC purchase fails to upgrade to next-gen
China Rising is the first in a series of planned expansions for Battlefield 4 and was offered as a free pre-order bonus to anyone willing to put down cash early on any version of the game. At the same time, EA (and many other publishers) were involved in a promotion that would allow players to upgrade a game from its PS3 or Xbox 360 iteration to a next-gen counterpart for a small fraction of the game's purchase price.
Though the official Battlefield Twitter account claims that China Rising should be upgraded alongside the game using the aforementioned promotion, a player using the name "buckethead232" has revealed a text chat with an EA customer service representative which directly contradicts that idea. "According to the latest updates, upgraded players have to purchase [China Rising]," the representative told the player, before adding that the only ways to get China Rising on either a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One are to pre-order a next-generation version of the game, spend $15 to buy the DLC piecemeal, or spend $60 for the Battlefield Premium service (which bundles all Battlefield 4 DLC).

Craigyy_JrLuxeHonk-Signed I'm planning on buying premium soon. Not sure when though.
I would love to be able to buy premium but dont have the money.
Same here. I need to get it though
Premium is defiantly worth it.
Plus you get all the new features way before the rest.

Reluctant BF4 has so many issues at the moment it's hard to believe. It's such a great game.
This is actually what put me off of BF4 for a good month or so. When it first came out, whenever I would get Hainan Resort, my Xbox would freeze and then I would lose my save. It isn't as bad as when I first had the game, but if the server crashes for whatever reason, I lose my save and have to re-edit all my classes again. I really hope they fix this soon.
