As you well know, in the past few hours Sony has released more details on the backward compatibility of PlayStation 5, stating that more than 99% of the titles available on PS4 can be safely played even on the next generation console. But there is another question that has not fully convinced the gamers, and that is the question of bailouts. According to the words of Hideaki Nishino on the official PlayStation blog, the "possibility" of being able to transfer saves from PlayStation 4 to the future PS5 it will be up to the developers whether or not to implement this functionality. Here are his words:
The ability to transfer game saves between a PS4 version and a PS5 version of the same game is a developer's decision and will vary title by title, when it comes to intergenerational games.
Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales will allow players to transfer their game saves from one device to another, but this features does not seem to be guaranteed for third-party titles, see Yakuza: Like a Dragon, DIRT 5 e Maneater, which will not allow (at least for the moment) to transfer the saves from PS4 to PlayStation 5. The confirmation that this functionality exists and depends exclusively on the development team is certainly excellent news. Our hope is that the developers pay attention to the substantial consumer feedback (without letting themselves be "influenced" by any acquisitions, according to Lion's recent suggestion), trying to implement this feature at a later time, or shortly before the launch of their respective titles. .
Waiting to find out more details on the next generation console of the Japanese giant, we remind you that PlayStation 5 will be available in our country from next November 19 2020, at the price respectively of 499,99 € (PS5 "standard") and of 399,99 € (PS5 Digital Edition), already available for pre-order and at other selected retailers. In addition, in the past few hours some retailers have brought forward the release date of Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Demon's Souls to 12 November.
