How to transfer backups from PS4 to PS5
One of the big PS5 launch titles was Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, which is a spin-off of Marvel's hugely popular Spider-Man for PS4. While the original is backwards compatible on PS4, those who bought the Miles Morales Ultimate Edition also released what's known as Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered. After being announced, Insomniac said that it would be impossible to transfer saves to PS5 for unknown reasons, but it seems that it was not that impossible after all.
As of now, with the latest update, you can now transfer your save file from Marvel's Spider-Man on PS4 to Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered on PS5. The only caveat here is that you still need to have a PS4 and a copy of Marvel's Spider-Man for this.
First, update to the latest version of Marvel's Spider-Man and open it. You should now have a new menu option where you can upload your save file which will be connected to your PSN ID. After doing that, you can go ahead and shut down your PS4 and switch to PS5.
Turn on your PS5 and also update Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered to the latest version. Once you do that, open the menu and go to where you should choose a save file or a new game. You will notice a new icon at the bottom right of the screen that prompts you to press R1 to "Download PS4 Console Save". Do exactly that and it will download the backup you downloaded for you.
Once you've done that, you're ready to go ahead and pick up your original save file from the PS4 version on Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered for PS5.
