To an USB, like you can on the PS4.I'm surprised PlayStation has not been sued over holding save files hostage to a ps+ subscription. At the very least there should be the option to back up saves to an external drive.

The way its set up on PS5 its like Sony made it so you HAVE to pay for your savegames to be kept.
I agree it seems like a way of doing business that should not be legal, and itd be great if someone looked into the legalese behind it. At the very least, its a really poor way of treating your customers. Unbelievable that people are just going along with it.
No idea.I thought there was a way around this by doing like a full system save and then only picking the PS5 games? I don't know haven't cared enough to look it up again but I think there is a way around this its just a lot more complicated than before.
I used the two memory card trading exploit to get the best fusion cards when it happened to me. Seto's White Dragons got massacred by a Meteor B. Dragon.We've all been there... My sister overwritten my Yu Gi Oh forbidden memories save file back in the day. It still hurts
Just finished split fictionDammm 700 hours playing elden ring, it sucks but he's 12 years old. We have all lost save files in our gaming careers from the 90s till now.
Take him out and spend the next 700 hours doing some father and son quality time.or some couch co op gaming time at the very least.

It's a cruel and unforgiving world, just like the world of Elden Ring. It's fitting really.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?
He was doing PvP mostly now.Listen....anything I put 700 hours in, has already provided me with more then enough entertainment.
I stopped caring about save files decades ago.
So long as I complete the game and get its worth, I'm good.
So, should have had many saves (especially for an RPG) and should move on to a different game
I totally disagree, gaming is what made me choose my career (programming) and crawl out of lower class life in a third world country.Gaming. You invest your most precious asset - time - which in the end is worth nothing. Gaming adds nothing to people's life.
I wish i knew : (
He was doing PvP mostly now.
He finished it 11 times, he has a daily limit of 1.5 hours of gaming time with some more time over weekend or when his friends are here. Since release he was just spending all time in ER. I can share the video of what he used to do with DLC pre nerfed Radahnlosing 40-50 hours would suck, but 700 hours feels like divine intervention, what could your son possibly have left to do in the game after that amount of time? please don't tell me they haven't finished the game yet.
What's catching my attention here more than the lost save story, is this high amount of hours. I haven't played Elden Ring, I know it's bigger than traditional Souls game (which I played), but... 700 hours? Is there really anything remaining to do after all this time? Unless he was into PVP, I can't imagine what he was doing![]()
He was mostly doing PVP, also you are underestimating kids energy.What's catching my attention here more than the lost save story, is this high amount of hours.

He was able to switch on fly between tank / Dex build!Making different builds with different characters is pretty fun.
He can PvP me if he wins he gets my 700 hrs account.He was mostly doing PVP, also you are underestimating kids energy.
I get that but aren't all characters a different save? I thought this meant one single character for 700 hours here.Making different builds with different characters is pretty fun.
I can help him level up a new character with stacks of Lord's Runes, bro, I have 12 level 713 characters, let me know if you still need helpAs 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?

its insane that cloud saves are paywalled.. i can go onto steam and download a game that i haven't played in 15 years and it still has my cloud save

Who let the Monk on GAF?Gaming. You invest your most precious asset - time - which in the end is worth nothing. Gaming adds nothing to people's life.
Same way mp worked, cloud saves also work on shared accounts. Did you look if theres anything on his account cloud storage?my understanding is it is saved for only primary PSN+ account?
Buy an Xbox and always be connected online, keep the noise aside and believe me, you'll find it convenient once you try it.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?

AI talks about a family plan, here: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
AI talks about a family plan, here:
- Cloud Storage:
PlayStation Plus provides online storage (cloud storage) for game saves, allowing you to back up your progress and access it from other consoles.
- Family Plan Benefits:
The Family Plan allows you to share certain PlayStation Plus benefits, including cloud storage, with other family members on the same console network.
Yes but only for ps5 games. When I upgraded to a ps5 pro from a base ps5 I was able to back my sons ps4 saves to a usb stickLet me get this straight:
1. Every account can play online on PS+, but only one per console have access to cloud saves?
2. You cannot backup saves to an external device?
This is some bullshit.
So a family of like 4 would need 4 PlayStation Plus subs if they want to use online storage?stop using AI then. there's no such thing as a PS+ Family plan.
anyone using AI to get information should know by now that in 90% of cases it makes bullshit up that it cobbled together from incoherent information from reddit threads.
AI makes the general population dumber at a faster speed than social media ever did, and it's a sad sight.
so, in short, there's no family plan, just individual subscriptions, and if someone plays on your main console these are the benefits and limitations:
