Find out how to save games when streaming PlayStation®Plus games on PlayStation®5 consoles, PlayStation®4 consoles or on PC, and how to transfer saves between streamed and downloaded games.
PlayStation Plus saved data works differently depending on whether you are streaming or playing a downloaded game.
If you are streaming a PlayStation Plus game, the saved data will be stored on PlayStation Network. You can pick up your stream on another device and continue your game without taking any other steps.
If you are playing a downloaded PlayStation Plus game, the saved data will be saved to the console storage of your PS5™ console or PS4™ console.
Saved data is not automatically transferred between streamed and downloaded games, but you can transfer saved data using Playstation Plus cloud storage. To transfer saved data between game types, first, upload the saved data to cloud storage and then download it to your device.
First, upload your saved data to PlayStation Plus cloud storage:
