I once powerleveled a PSO character offline, I was too tired to actually connect online so I thought id just go online the next day with my super cool powerful character.
You know how your Dreamcast tells you NOT to turn it off while its doing shit.....well I thought that was an old wives tale.
Pressed the power button and went to bed.
Came the next day ready to connect and party up..............I never disrespected the DreamCast power button again.

I really hope Sony adds cloud saves across the board. It's just wrong that its tied to PS plus.
Sorry to hear OP!

They won't. I bet it's one of the main selling points for "+" because saves are locked.
We had to buy overpriced, small, piece of shit memory cards back in PS1/PS2 days, then PS3 came and changed the landscape with HDD and save copy feature. PS4 improved it by enabling to copy all saves to pendrive (some games were locked on PS3). With PS5 we are back to dark days...

Cloud saves cost extra on PS5?
That's heinous.

Yep, it even syncs PC and Xbox saves for some games.

Its kinda fucked that they don't back up all saves on your system(s) if you have PS+. FFS they are lame cunts for how they are doing this. I struggle with accounts. I basically just let my kids use my account because it is pretty awful setting them up and managing passwords. MS won't let you recover passwords for kids so I already have several accounts that are locked and useless. Nintendo also requires a family membership for online to have multiple accounts. So much for family friendly there, cheap fucking assholes. On the bright side, while I actually have Sony accounts for both kids, my oldest decided to platinum Astrobot on his second save, which was on my account.

But if you didn't earn it yourself, it's just digital cosplay. No one else might know, but you always will
It's like framing someone else's medal on your wall

Consider yourself lucky, had it twice knew several people it happened to actually we where all in primary school so would reshare saves but it still isn't your own. After that learned to copy across to a spare card as backup.

When my Legaia 2: Duel Saga data got corrupted, I never went back to it. It made me get multiple memory cards ever since to prevent problems like this.

Few weeks ago, my son destroyed my PS5 backup HDD with all my saves (he dropped it and the drive died) before PS5 Pro arrived and I'm actually overcame any semblance of rage. That's part of being a parent, I guess.

Yup, that's why I support play anywhere. I can jump from the couch to my office with 0 issues.

not sure why save is not there but multiplayer is, that looks inverted from cost perspective of infrastructure (cheap storage vs multiplayer infra).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:

That really sucks. But Sony is a garbage company. On PS4 I used to take a manual USB backup once in a while for long games I put a lot of time into. I still have those saves backed up.
PS5 is a pile of shit and Sony wants people to pay for unreliable cloud saves. (The fun/security stops once you auto-upload a corrupted save over your only backup).
Just ditch Sony and come to PC/Steam.

I guess it would be too complicated/convoluted. all of this only works as long as the other profiles are playing on the main console of the PS+ account. so if you were to log into another PS5, suddenly you wouldn't have access to your saves anymore as there's no PS+ user on this other PS5.

I lost my 20 hours Expedition 33 save because cloud sync doesn't work from Steam Deck to desktop.
I still haven't started it up again because they're doing all these balance patches.
Too bad because I've essentially missed the wave and I'm going to have to come back when the game is "history".

PS auto syncs at all times as well (with PS+). But here's the kicker, if you're auto syncing at all times, you're syncing the corrupted save, no?I don't think you can do anything here no. unless he uploaded it, it's gone.
next time play the Xbox or Steam version
free and automated save syncing at all times...
but honestly, Sony should make cloud saves 1: free and 2: more reliable
But yeah, since they all don't allow you to back to external now due to save file exploits, it should not be behind a paywall on the PS5. Bad Sony.

in theory yes, but I had multiple issues with it in the past. not the least of which is 1 quite annoying one, where if you have a friend over that uses his PSN account on your console, you might get weird "failed to upload save" errors... and you CAN NOT GET RID OF THEM unless you log into the account that tried to upload them... lol.
I also had auto save syncing fail multiple times on me. I really have to manually sync to know that it will actually work.
I think his PS5 data corrupted, forcing a reformatting of the entire system, which wiped all the still working save files.
but yes, in theory a corrupt save would sync

Never had a save fail to sync, nor ever seen this message, thankfully.
