Is there any way to get the PS5 Digital Edition to play discs? While there are external disc drives that can be used over USB on the market, the PS5 Digital Edition does not support them. If you buy a PS5 Digital Edition with the intent to heavily mod it to regain this compatibility, you’ll be out of luck.
Can you use game saves on PS4?
You can copy saved data to a USB storage device that is connected to the PS4 system. Saved data that you copy can be used as a backup. You can also copy saved data from the USB storage device to another PS4 and continue playing your games.
Do you need PS Plus for cloud saves?
At the moment, the PlayStation 5 doesn’t support copying save data onto external storage devices. Instead, the console’s only option for moving save files from one PS5 to another, or backing up save data, is to use Sony’s cloud storage — which is available exclusively to PlayStation Plus subscribers.
What’s the difference between PS5 and PS5 digital edition?
The first and most significant difference between the Standard PS5 and the PS5 Digital Edition is that the former comes with a disc drive and the latter does not. The digital version of the PS5 is 100% digital, meaning it won’t be compatible at all with games that come on a disc.
Can you play digital PS4 games on PS5 disc version?
To upgrade an eligible PS4 game on disc to the digital PS5 version, you will need a PS5 console with a disc drive. PS4 game discs can’t be used with the PlayStation®5 Digital Edition. After the download is complete, you can play the PS5 digital game by inserting the PS4 game disc.
Can a PS4 game be played on a disc?
As you know, with almost every PS4 game, it doesn’t matter if you swap inbetween the digital and disc versions since saves are stored locally and accessible to each type of a game. I have swapped the disc for digital version with many of my PS4 games and never lost my saves and could continue to use them.
What happens if you download a PS4 disc and download a digital version?
I have had this happen multiple times, especially with free PS+ games. I’ve always had to uninstall the disc version then download the digital version. You can back up your saved games if you’re concerned about losing them, but they should be fine.
What’s the difference between disc and digital saves?
The disc based game saves are seen as UK whereas the digital versions are seen as EU. I have come across this in the past and just recently swapped my disc copy of The Witcher 3 for the digital version. Although all my saves are still on my ps4, the game won’t recognise them and only gives me the option to start a new game.
Where to find PS4 savegame of disc version?
Please check carefully – at the side of the box there is number with CUSA-xxxxx, and on digital version, you can also check it after you put save from PS4 on the USB – file created will be in directory similar to ‘PS4\\SAVEDATA\\14ca82863eb5a141\\CUSAXXXXX’. Thanks for answering back REDkatja. On the box the number says CUSA-01440.
