There is no obvious way to claim this from a browser or a PS4, which can be a problem given console constraints and if it’s a limited-time offer. I think the only way to claim the PS+ “free” upgrade is on a PS5, and even that sounds convoluted (click the second “game” in the drop-down Version menu that consists of {game, game} to unlock the claim button for the upgrade).
Do I need to login from PS5 to redeem the upgrade? It shows as unavailable to me (I don't have a ps5)
yes, it seems so... also you need to install PS4 version on your PS5 first and then redeem/download PS5 version.
Yup, I see the same icon on the web store. It’s “not available” if I click on it.btw. PS Store is showing the upgrade as "PS+ Included"

Yup, disc owners can apparently ask Sony support to remove the disc upgrade license on their account in order to claim the PS+ digital upgrade.If anyone's having issues, there were some suggested action steps to take with Sony PlayStation Support posted in this thread
Its a SonyWhy do upgrades for separate products (Sony considers a disc install distinct from a digital one) conflict?

I'm also curious what Sony were trying achieve (or what problem they were trying to solve) by having disc, digital and different region versions of games all having difficult product IDs. It's been a thing since PlayStation 2 where it wasn't an issue, and wasn't even much of an issue on PlayStation 3 either but it's not clearly complicating updates for some, and accessing save data.
I recall this happened with Horizon Zero Dawn as well. I bought HZD at launch on disc and completed it. I never bought the DLC but got the HZD Complete Digital Edition earlier this year (a PS+ inclusion I think) and when I started it I could see all my saves from the disc version but @Nesh could not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Having different product IDs and managing the saves has to be more work so there had to be a reason to implement this scheme in the first place..
