@Bob_Tempura PlayStation would face ongoing infrastructure and operational costs if cloud saves were free, mainly from storing up to 100GB of data per user, handling millions of daily upload/download syncs, maintaining global servers, ensuring security and backups, and paying engineering and support teams to keep the system reliable. These recurring expenses scale with 100m+ active users, which is why Sony currently uses cloud saves as part of the PS Plus subscription.
