Spider-Man PS4 saves can now be transferred to the PS5 remaster

Insomniac Games has released an update for Marvel’s Spider-Man which will allow the transfer of save files to the PS5 remaster.

Updates for both PS4 and PS5 games were released overnight and allow players to manually export their save files from the last-gen title and then import them on PS5.

“Just to be clear. You must use the PS4 game to export your save. Remastered cannot see a save until it is exported by the PS4 game,” explained community manager James Stevenson.

The Spider-Man Remastered update also includes ray-tracing improvements and “many additional fixes,” according to Insomniac’s patch notes, including the resolution of a crash which occurred when putting the game into rest mode.

On PS4, the Spider-Man update adds three new suits from the remaster.

Currently, the only way to access Spider-Man Remastered is via the $70/£70 Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition, which comes bundled with a download code for Remastered and all three instalments of the The City That Never Sleeps DLC.

Current-gen owners who purchase Miles Morales can upgrade to the ‘standard’ next-gen version for free or pay an additional $20 fee to receive the Ultimate version which includes the remaster.

Sony said in September that it has “no plans currently to offer Marvel’s-Spider-Man: Remastered as a standalone” release.

VGC’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales review called it “a beautiful, satisfying game with a gripping story”.
