If you’re upgrading your copy ofNioh 2to the remastered PS5 version, you’re almost certainly going to want to bring over your save file rather than start from scratch. There’s a little more involved in the transferring process than I was expecting, and if you’re looking for pointers, Team Ninja has us covered.
You can read the developer’s instructions onTwitter(along with visual aids), but I’ll recap them here.
Start with thePS4 versionofNioh 2and go to thetitle screen– click into “System” and scroll down and select “Cross-Save Management.” In this menu, upload your PS4 save data to cloud storage.
Next, boot up thePS5 versionofNioh 2with thesame PlayStation Network accountand head to thetitle screen– go into “System,” and pick “Cross-Save Management.” Now you can download your data.
This process needs to be repeated for every individual save file you want to bring over to PS5.
One other tidbit: to switch between the PS4 and PS5 editions, go to the game on your PS5 home screen, press the Options button (aka the “start” button), and choose the Game Version you want.
If you have theNioh 2season pass on PS4 and you’re seeing an error message about not having the “rights for the add-on required to resume the game with the downloaded character data,” try grabbing the equivalent PS5 DLC. I haven’t tested this myself yet (I will tonight), but I’ve seen that suggestion.
