PS5, PS4 Locked Out of Vampire Survivors Cross-Save Due to Mysterious Legal Issue 1

All hopes of cross-save coming to the PS5 and PS4 versions of video game crack Vampire Survivors are dangling by a thread, as dev Poncle has hit a mysterious legal issue.

Set to be added as part of the game’s impending April update, the feature would have allowed you to seamlessly transfer your progress between devices, including PC, Xbox, and mobile.

But a last-minute snag means the option is looking increasingly unlikely on PlayStation.

“The chances of cross-save coming to PlayStation consoles are now very slim, but not impossible, so we're going to keep working alongside PlayStation to resolve these problems,” the studio said on Threads.

“We're so sorry to build up any anticipation for this feature on PlayStation only to change plans at the last minute.”

There is at least some solace for PS5 and PS4 owners: transferring saves wouldn’t have automatically unlocked Trophies anyway.

“It's worth noting that PlayStation Trophies are automatically disabled on a platform level for all games when using a save file from another platform,” the team clarified.

There are definitely games that support cross-save across various different platforms, so we wonder what the actual issue is here. Hopefully it’s something Poncle can eventually overcome.
