Loading PS4 Save to PS5?

Post by JuveLeo »

When I backed EC Hundred Heroes, I requested the PS5 version and unfortunately for me I still don't own a PS5 yet, but want to play Rising. If I purchase the PS4 version of Rising, will I be able to load my save file onto a PS5 version of EC Hundred Heroes? Maybe via cloud save? Anyone know if that's possible?

It's at least possible. Reading the product info in on the PS store website makes it sound like the PS5 playability is due to backwards compatibility, so you shouldn't run into issues due to them technically being different games. Issues can arise for a variety of reasons, but this does look pretty close to a best case scenario for being able to port saves easily.

Thanks for informing me. Do you know exactly what crosses over to Hundred Heroes?

I have no idea. Don't own the game.

I mostly replied at all because the game is so new, and your plan isn't one that a lot of people are likely to have tried yet. So a "probably" based on a bit of technical knowledge and product descriptions might still be useful.

It was stated multiple times you would be able to import PS4 into PS5, but not the other way around.

I haven't done this so no idea how (or if) it works in practice.

You can name your weapons and one item in Rising - these names carry over. Other than that, you only get a flat bonus for playing or completing the game, nothing else carries over.
