In fact, the improved edition for the latest addition to Sony will offer users many new playful options, able to make it interesting and stimulating to return to play the role of Sam, but to do so it will first be necessary import the saves linked to the original iteration of the production. And in this guide we explain the steps you will have to follow to resume the adventure where you ended it.
Connect everything, again
To transfer the saves will be, first of all, necessary launch the PS4 version of the game, which will have to be updated to the latest version, so as to include the patch necessary for progression compatibility. At this point we will have to continue the saved game, then press the Options button to open the menu related to handcuffs. Crushing the left button on the D-Pad we will then have to access the you System, from which to select Export Saves. In order to use this functionality, however, we will have to find each other near any delivery terminal. Interacting with him will not be necessary, but it will be enough just to be in his immediate vicinity. If we are not near a terminal, the export option will not be active, and therefore cannot be used.
Once the item is selected Export Saves, a long list will appear on the screen, showing everything that will be transferred to PS5, obviously together with what cannot be imported from PS4. Once this is done we will have to click on the OK item to continue, and therefore have the updated saves available and ready to be downloaded on PS5. At this point, all you have to do is start Death Stranding Director’s Cut, and select the function Load Save (PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5), present in the main menu of the game. By doing so we will recover the saves from the cloud, and you can therefore continue your adventure from the point where you left off.
