I wish i knew : (Worst father of all time. It's like buying yourself eggs and not letting your son eat them because they're too expensive.
jk. dont do any save manipulation on ps5. sony are cunts about it. just let it go. kid will learn life isnt fair.
no. they removed that. classic jimbo. you could do that on ps4.
what you can do is do a backup and move save files along with system data. i had to do that recently when i moved to the ps5 pro. but its a full backup of system files and save files. so you might be overwriting other newer save files.
reezoo GAF sends their condolences to your son. I think that save is gone.
I once lost a "perfect" Final Fantasy Tactics save file with all the secret characters, best equipment, and everyone at level 99. Looking back now, it taught me to love the journey, not the destination. Your kid will be stronger through this in the end.
It's ok, I have 3 other PS5s I backup and restore system to
Unfortunately the only way you can do it is to backup the whole thing. You can't just backup Saves unlike with PS4.
This will work on PS4 games running on PS5 but not on PS5 games.
I know a potential solution but it requires around 700 hours of your time
Maybe this is a good thing?Yes, he's just 12 years old.
that's pretty common. only 1 account needs PS+ for everyone on the console to be able to play online and play PS+ games. but cloud saves is a feature only the main PS+ account can use sadly
From what I understood the kid is 12, so this solution should better be avoidedMy advice:

This is what I would probably do. Back in the day, my Mass Effect and Skyrim 360 saves got hosed. This happened right before Mass Effect 3 came out. I was gutted.
Everyone.....scram...the No Fun Police are here! I bet you are a fucking blast at parties.From what I understood the kid is 12, so this solution should better be avoided![]()
Yeah beer or maybe a hard lemonade would be appropriate not hard liquor at that age. At least not without a mixer.From what I understood the kid is 12, so this solution should better be avoided![]()
Get the lad a Smirnoff Ice, job doneYeah beer or maybe a hard lemonade would be appropriate not hard liquor at that age. At least not without a mixer.
psn+ is not cheap.That's the dumbest thing I've heard.
hmm... may be a life lesson, I also learned something when i was kid, broke my toy aeroplan in anger, tried to fix it for 3 days... never broke a single toy after that.Maybe this is a good thing?
Let this be a lesson for your son.my son lost 700h+ elden ring save due to corruption and reformatting of PS5. I have PSN+ so my saves are fine.
It's so annoying that they gate backing up saves behind the sub. I mean unless you back up the WHOLE system...that doesn't count. Nintendo does the same gating. Completely pointless. It should take a second to copy that onto a USB stick.
Im talking more about after 700 hours maybe a 12 year old should try something else. Even just a different game.hmm... may be a life lesson, I also learned something when i was kid, broke my toy aeroplan in anger, tried to fix it for 3 days... never broke a single toy after that.
It goes like this:Good games and hardware, shit company.
Tell your son I'm sorry for his loss. I can't imagine getting so far in a souls game at his age and having that happen.
Hory sheeet you bought this crap twice ?I feel ya same thing happened to me and FF15 on PS4. Cloud save was even corrupted.
What I did was buy the Xbox version.
Imagine he deleted the save and was showing his son this thread, saying, 'See, I've asked a forum for help,' and the first reply the son sees is your post.You deleted that save file, didn't you?
He totally deleted it, guys!I am not cruel and as an avid gamer I understand what it will feel like.

It's worth a shot to try. Create new save, edit, upload PS4 version and see if it gets detected.You can load PS4 saves in PS5 version so it might actually work.
3 times .. also on pc. It's got a fun battle system it's just everything ends that's crap.Hory sheeet you bought this crap twice ?
Yes.... Install PS4 version and you can edit it on PC.As title say my son lost 700h+ elden ring save due to corruption and reformatting of PS5. I have PSN+ so my saves are fine. Is there any way to recover that?
edit: He knows his stats my heart now, is it possible to create a build using some editor and add to PS5?
You can if its a PS4 game, you can backup your save to an USB driver. But with PS5 games you cant do that anymore. They really should have ofered free cloud saves if they removing the ability to backup the saves.You can't save games to an external device on PS5?
this is why PS Plus best deal in gaming.
