There is no native PS4 version of this game. The game was developed for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC (2010). However, it is playable on PS4 exclusively via cloud streaming (PlayStation Now, now integrated into the new PlayStation Plus Premium tier) or backward compatibility features on certain PS4 models that support PS3 discs (extremely limited).
