However, on PlayStation a few steps are required. All you have to do is simply upload a PS4 save to the cloud. Then when you fire up Cyberpunk 2077 on PS5, download the save in-game. Easy peasy. Bad news: As confirmed by Push Square, when transferring your save data from PS4 to PS5, previously earned trophies will not pop. This essentially means, that if you want to earn all PS5 trophies, you will have to start the game from scratch. Good News, Maybe: In an updated blog post, CDPR is now looking into the possibility of being able to transfer PlayStation trophies.ADVERT ADVERT Patch 1.5 is coming soon to PC, Stadia, and consoles!It brings various improvements to the game, numerous quest and gameplay fixes, as well as a number of free DLCs.
