Resident Evil 2, 3, and 7 Save Data Will Carry Over to PS5

In a statement, Capcom announced that gamers’ Resident Evil 2, 3, and 7 save data from the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One may be transferred to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S systems. The Resident Evil 7 Gold Edition will also feature all of the downloadable material that was previously only available on previous-generation systems. Further information will be provided as soon as it becomes available.

Resident Evil 2, 3, and 7 PS4 owners can upgrade for free

The PS5 updates will be available for free to anyone who already possess Resident Evil 2, 3, or 7 on PlayStation 4 systems. When you include in the save data transmission, this is a deal you won’t want to pass up. The next-generation versions of the games will have “cutting-edge technologies” like as ray-tracing, high frame rates, and 3D audio, among other things. DualSense support for haptic feedback and adjustable triggers will be available on the PlayStation 5 in particular.

We’re happy to confirm that save data from the original PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of these games will carry over to their respective upgraded versions. DLC that comes with Resident Evil 7 Gold Edition will transfer over, as well! https://t.co/FVVTPuHBQs

Opinion: Here’s hoping PS4 to PS5 transfers aren’t broken

Zarmena has written… In the past, Sony’s infrastructure has been notoriously finicky when it comes to upgrading from a PlayStation 4 to a PlayStation 5, as well as data transfers, so let’s hope the Resident Evil 2, 3, and 7 transfers aren’t yet another source of embarrassment for the company and a source of frustration for players. I can’t emphasize enough how much Sony needs a system akin to Microsoft’s Smart Delivery, especially now that we’ve been using the current generation for more than a year.

Aside from that, the PlayStation Store’s Mega March sale, which begins today with another round of discounts, has resulted in Xbox Series X/S outselling the PS5 for the first time in Europe due to supply problems.
