Like I mentioned, you need to actually play the game, and this is all pretty dependent on where you last saved. Death Stranding would be no exception to that rule, however, a bit annoyingly, you can’t just transfer your save from the start screen like so many other titles. With better graphics, frame-rate, faster loading, and in some cases, more content, there really was little to no reason to go back and play the original over the new unless it was to mop up some remaining trophies. Basically downloaded them again just to access the main start-up menu to do the quick transfer and then deleted them, never to touch their last-gen versions ever again.

I know that for me, I didn’t play an second of Spider-Man, Marvel’s Avengers, Ghost of Tsushima, and the Final Fantasy VII Remake since their original launch windows, and getting the platinum. You know, if you’ve ever transferred your PS4 save to a supported PS5 version, chances are you probably didn’t revisit the said title beforehand. I know, I know, this sounds dumb, and if this were any other title I would agree (I still do truth be told) with you, but it’s staying in theme with what the game is about, the journey. Meaning you’ll need to play the game before you can transfer your save. However, unlike all those other titles that allow you to upload your saves directly from the main start menu, Death Stranding adds an extra step to this by only making the menu accessible from a delivery terminal. Sadly, Death Stranding doesn’t support that kind of save transferring, but instead opts in requiring users to have the original PS4 version installed in order to start the process of transferring a save. PS5 owners no doubt should be familiar with this process, as countless titles before it required the PS4 version to be downloaded in order to perform a save transfer.Ī rather annoying process, although Ghost of Tsushima recently changed that, as the PS5 version of the title would scan the console for PS4 saves, and handle everything directly from that version, which is a great time saver that we hope gets implemented in other titles.

Save Transfarring With a Twistĭeath Stranding recently got an update on the PS4 in preparation for the PS5 release, so that users can continue with their progress by transferring their game save via the in-game menus. Death Stranding PS5’s release is finally here, and while no doubt many of you are planning on using your old PS4 saves, it would seem that you may have one last delivery to make before you can do that.
