One of the PS5\u2019s promised features was save migration support, or the ability for players to transfer save data from their PS4 games to their new console. But with games such as Marvel\u2019s Avengers<\/em><\/strong>, many gamers have become frustrated with the PS5 save migration process<\/a>, as they feel it is too complicated. Several gamers took to Twitter today to vent their frustration.<\/p>\n

When the PS5 was released, Sony said players would have two options to transfer their save data from most PS4 games<\/a>. PlayStation Plus subscribers would be able to transfer data through the cloud, while players without a subscription would be able to move their data via a USB. But after the next-gen version of Marvel\u2019s Avengers<\/em> was released, players began to run into problems. Using the cloud or a USB to transfer data to their PS5 caused the game to crash or error codes to appear during the transfer process.<\/p>\n

Developer Square Enix addressed the problem today by advising players to use another method to transfer their data. Players must boot up the PS4 version of Marvel’s Avengers<\/em><\/a> and initiate the transfer via the save migration tab in the main menu, then launch the PS5 version of the game, where they will be prompted to download the data. Players have to use this method even if they have the PS4 and PS5 versions of the game downloaded on the same console. After the \u201cfix\u201d was announced, many gamers went to Twitter to complain about how complicated they felt the process was.<\/p>\n

Prominent video game journalist Paul Tassi said the complexity of transferring save data on the PS5 made him want to switch all his third party games to Xbox. Many players feel that it is easier to transfer data from the Xbox One to the Xbox Series X or S, and unlike PlayStation players, Xbox users don\u2019t need to pay a subscription to transfer via the cloud<\/a>.<\/p>\n
