Proof, perhaps, that making a big ol’ stink on the Internet can work in your favour sometimes: Insomniac Games has announced that it’ll allow you to export your save from Marvel’s Spider-Man on the PlayStation 4 and import it into Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered on the PlayStation 5. Previously, the developer hadn’t planned to enable save transfers in the title, culminating in some robust criticism.
The functionality won’t be available at launch, but the developer’s aiming to make it available later this month. “In an upcoming update for Marvel’s Spider-Man, we will add the ability to export your save to Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered,” the studio said. “This update will also add the three new suits from Remastered to the PS4 game. We expect to bring you this update around Thanksgiving.”
It’s unclear whether those who’ve already earned the Platinum in Marvel’s Spider-Man will automatically unlock the Platinum Trophy upon transferring to Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, as the two different releases have separate Trophy lists. Nevertheless, this will come as welcome news to those who had hoped to pick up their progress in the next-gen version of the studio’s superhero romp.

ok you know what
I'm interested now
I'm actually interested now Insomniac
I may or may not get Ultimate Edition
I really wanted to play this game at 60fps but not have to restart the game all over again since I wanted to jump straight into Miles Morales
This is good
Good job Insomniac
Go have a cookie
That's what I love about Insomniac. They're always paying attention to what we're saying. If only more developers out there would have this same mindset.
Fantastic news!!!
I’d be pissed if I try to go for the platinum trophy and then I load my old save file and it unlocks all the trophies
@get2sammyb
I thought the PS5 version had it's own independent set of trophies. How will that work? Is this my easy route to 5 plats???
Hopefully next will be the free/paid update from PS4 version to PS5.
@yaboydanzo I'd be delighted if it unlocked them all for me
@yaboydanzo When I got Borderlands GOTY, I started brand new characters and didn't import my old save until I got to a point where I was happy to do so.
Might be best to do that here. Play a brand new game, then import when you are happy to maybe have those trophies pop.
@lacerz Seems like it's probably just going to automatically pop them all.
Good to know it would’ve really sucked if it kept to us not being able to being I’ve already reached 100% on the game and gotten the platinum trophy
Great news, I started my new game plus a few months ago but held fire for the ps5 release, so at least I can continue that after getting alot of the collectables done.
That's great news. Now if they would offer a 60fps patch for Spiderman PS4 at 4k/frame unlock I would actually feel better about giving them money for their "remaster" rather than feeling like 60fps is locked behind a remaster paywall. It may sound counter-intuitive, but the more they demonstrate they're willing to give us value, the more I'm willing to pay for additional value they want to offer.
That's nice!
I was just wondering if you can transfer your Watch Dogs Legion save to PS5 when it launches with the console? I started on PS4 but the load times are so annoying that I will only continue on PS5.
Anyone knows?
That would be crazy if you could unlock all the trophies in the PS5 version with a PS4 save. Are the lists identical?
You know what, I'm in.
Oh wait I already bought the Miles Morales Standard (Launch) Edition. Dang.
Oh wait I can get it separately lol
@NEStalgia I doubt the PS4 version could actually stably handle 60fps with the fidelity it's at. All of Insomniac's PS4 stuff was capped at 30fps including Ratchet & Clank in order to retain the highest possible resolution even on PS4 Pro. 60fps is probably more feasible now thanks to the superior graphics power and processor in the new hardware
Good move. This is why we complain. For all the complaining about complaining, sometimes you can’t deny complaining can be efficient.
@Jaz007 I mean hey it worked for Sonic's movie design, reviving Clone Wars and getting Spider-Man in the MCU lol
Insomniac deserves the backlash they are getting changing John's was absolutely unnecessary and the lazy excuse they gave was really bad. People tend to forget they make this game for business it's not like they are goodwill people and making this game for free. And us as costumer we expect quality it's not like we get free codes like journos, we pay for the game.
I never played the DLC in the original release so transferring my save over to the Remaster is perfect for me.
@Jeevz There are few new trophies but as far as I know they are in a separate list so it may be possible?
So now people will just auto pop the plat. Great.
This is better now just need all ps4 save files to work now please
@Matej yeah man, the main lists are identical. Strange how the PS5 trophies are in a separate "DLC" list. After seeing this I'd be surprised if transferring your PS4 save DIDN'T unlock all the trophies.
@Jeevz I think they just wanted to keep the requirements the same to get the platinum. I mean a lot of people will be happy they won’t need to get an Ultimate rank on Taskmaster challenge.
@thefourfoldroot
Who cares what happens with other people’s trophies?
@yaboydanzo For me that would be great and something I also wonder whether that's the case.
Well look at that and some people on here said it wasn't possible.
Never bothered me in the first place. I'm happy to have a reason to play it again all ps5 pretty, especially after how much it cost.
@NorrinRadd
Anal people like me interested in accurate rarity stats. I understand I’m a niche case.
@get2sammyb amazing how the positive articles on ps5 generate much less comments than the negative ones...
@hi_drnick you also noticed that huh?
Now, your move, Sega and Codemasters
@thefourfoldroot I'm pretty sure the remaster has its own set of trophies regardless so no it's not really going to make achieving the plat any more easy
@TheFrenchiestFry
The trophies are the same. They’ll be awarded for doing things in the game. Like getting all collectibles for example. If you load a save with those tasks done PSN usually auto pops them. Happened to me with sound shapes.
@hi_drnick Unfortunately, that's true of everything on the Internet.
Not being able to do this wasn't a deal-breaker for me, but I'm glad they are doing it. I've been holding off on NG+
@TheFrenchiestFry I meant a ps5 unlock patch, not ps4 hardware unlock. It's still a new game, and the optics of not giving a boost mode patch, while selling a "remaster" of a still new game are terrible. Even without considering the bundling without selling it alone. Boost patch the ps4 game for loyal owners and I'll gladly buy the remaster. Otherwise it's just shady.
@NEStalgia I doubt that's happening. They probably are purposely holding back all that because it would add more value to the PS5-specific version unfortunately
@get2sammyb - So, does it being an update for the PS4 version mean you'd need both it and the Remaster copy at the same time to perform the save transfer?
Ok now RGG Studios the english branch need to follow suit too for Yakuza 7 lol
@TheFrenchiestFry Which..., was my point.
And it's smarmy af.
If I buy miles morales for ps5 would I also get the PS4 version? Or is it only the other way around?
This would make me interested in purchasing now (at the right price)
I hope I don't have to go for all the trophies again though, the ones up to where I am currently should auto pop
@thefourfoldroot
That is an incredibly accurate point that I had not considered. My apologies.
