Okay, so I’ve been playing Death Stranding, right? And I wanted to keep my old saved game when I upgraded to the Director’s Cut. It wasn’t super obvious how to do it, but I figured it out, so I’m gonna share what I did.
First, I launched the original Death Stranding game that I had been playing. You gotta make sure you’re not in the middle of any deliveries, so I completed all the “Orders for Sam” that I had. You know, just to be safe.
Then, I went to one of those delivery terminals – you know, the ones scattered all over the place in the game. Once I was there, I opened up my cuff links, like I was going to do any regular action at the terminal.
In the menu at the terminal, there’s this option, “Export Save Data”. It’s kinda buried in there, but you’ll find it. I selected that option.
The game then did some stuff, I guess it was packaging up my save file or something. There was a message saying you had to follow these steps in the Director’s Cut before you start a new game in order to use it, so keep that in mind.
After that, I closed the old game and fired up the Director’s Cut. I made sure I did this all before actually beginning a new game, because that is important.
On the main menu of the Director’s Cut, there’s an option to “Load Game (PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5)”. I picked that, and boom! It found my exported save file.
Once I loaded my old save, I was right back where I left off in the original game, but now in the Director’s Cut with all the new bells and whistles. Pretty cool, huh? It wasn’t super intuitive, but it worked like a charm. It was like the Director’s Cut was able to pick up my old game’s toys without missing a beat.
So yeah, that’s how I moved my Death Stranding save over to the Director’s Cut. Hopefully, this helps someone else out there who’s trying to do the same thing. It’s a bit of a process, but totally worth it to keep all that progress you made!
