Developer Insomniac has changed its stance on Spider-Man saves, and will now provide PS4 players with the means to transfer their progress to PlayStation 5’s upcoming Remastered edition as part of a future update.
Initially, Insomniac told Spider-Man players that their existing PS4 saves would be incompatible with the new PS5-only Remastered version – which will be made available to those that purchase or upgrade to the new £70 Ultimate edition of Spider-Man: Miles Morales – meaning they would need to start the experience again from scratch.
In a new message posted to Twitter, however, Insomniac announced a change of heart. “We have heard you,” it wrote, “in an upcoming update for #SpiderManPS4, we will add the ability to export your save to Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered.” The update is currently expected to launch around Thanksgiving, several weeks after Remastered’s arrival as a PS5 launch title.
