Spider-Man: Miles Morales supports using PS4 save files for PS5

Sony has gotten some fire recently for its somewhat mixed messages regarding backwards compatibility and using save files from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5 in cross-generation games which often does not seem to be possible. One example of this is the Ultimate Edition of Spider-Man: Miles Morales, which also includes an upgraded version of the original Spider-Man (cannot be bought separately, only in this £70/€80 package) - for which you won't be able to use your old save file.

But what about the main game, Spider-Man: Miles Morales? When a fan asked about this on Twitter, Insomniac Games' community director James Stevenson had a pretty straight forward message: "Yes, your Miles PS4 save can be transferred to PS5."

And there we have it. Hopefully, this will work for more cross-generation games. As we reported yesterday, Yakuza: Like a Dragon won't support this for PlayStation 5, unfortunately.
