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).

I just bought premium for the 360, I would be mad if I upgraded to Xbox One and didn't get it. I hope they fix this.
(Premium is $50, Not $60)

-TwoChainz Sucks for premium users who pay and EA still messes up.
EA is a pretty bad company... wish their service and reliability met up to the expectations of the games

Im-Faded Ooh that stinks for everyone hopefully they fix it.
I was under the impression the only thing that was available for upgrade was a BF4 Premium subscription as well as being able to one-time migrate your stats to your next-gen account.
If you bought the Extinction DLC for COD Ghosts on Xbox 360 are you allowed to re-download it for free on Xbox One if you're not a Season Pass holder?
