The journalist deleted his message and clarified that he meant, first of all, the possibility of using saves from PS4-versions of games in full-fledged PS5-versions of games, and not just those launched by backward compatibility.
For instance, Sony previously announced that PlayStation 5 owners will have to go through the full-fledged Spider-Man remaster again – they will not be able to use the PS4 save…
Developers announced a similar approach today Yakuza: Like a Dragon from the Sega company. Saves from PS4 version of the game will not work on PS5 version…
Based on Park’s words, it will be the same with other releases.
Interestingly, Microsoft’s approach here is also different from Sony’s. Xbox Games Supported by Program Xbox Smart Delivery (bought one version of the game – gained access to all console versions of the game within the Xbox ecosystem) will allow the same save to be used between different versions.
All new Microsoft games will be released with the Smart Delivery mark, as well as various projects from third-party developers, including Cyberpunk 2077, Assassin’s creed valhalla and the aforementioned Yakuza: Like a Dragon…
That is one save between versions of Yakuza: Like a Dragon on Xbox One and Series X to use canbut not between the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions.
The latest Yakuza will also arrive on PlayStation 5 a few months later following its premiere on Xbox Series X.
As for launching PS4 games on PS5 using the backward compatibility program, here, probably, all files of old save will be recognized, but Sony does not share detailed information about the function, so we can only speculate.
