Marvel’s Spider-Man and Miles Morales: How to Transfer Your Games from PS4 to PS5

Both the original game and the version of Miles Morales for PS4 already allow us to pass our progress to the PS5 version. We explain how.

Insomniac Games has updated Marvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered (PS5) to allow the more than 20 million players of the original work to carry their progress to this remastering of PlayStation 5. Thus, both the game of 2018 and the version of Marvel’s Spider-Man PS4: Miles Morales already have the save transfer enabled with their respective PS5 edition. We explain how to transfer your game from PS4 to PS5.

Step by step: how to transfer your game from Marvel’s Spider-Man to PS5

We start with the original video game, which is the one that surely more people have at the moment and can raise more doubts among users. We divide the process into steps with as much detail as possible.

  • Turn on your PS4 and save your game of Marvel’s Spider-Man for PS4 to a USB device. If you are PS Plus, you can store your game in the cloud. A third option is that with PS4 and PS5 turned on at the same time you transfer the game via Wi-Fi.
  • Once your game is backed up, turn on PS5 and insert the USB device to download the game and have it stored locally on your PlayStation 4.
  • Launch the Marvel’s Spider-Man (PS4) version and on your PS5 (disc or download the digital version) to install the game. Once finished and updated to its latest version, launch the game.
  • In the main menu you will see an indicator for the R1 button called “Load Game”. Click there and save your game (all progress is saved, including New Game + and those of the three DLCs of ‘The city that never sleeps’).
  • Close Marvel’s Spider-Man (PS4) on your PS5 and select Marvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered. Update it to version 1,001,000. The update will skip automatically if you are connected to the Internet. Just click on the three dots icon and select the PS5 version. Start it.
  • Now, in the main menu you will see again the indicator of the R1 button to download a game. Select a slot that is empty so that you do not overlap the download of the game you are transferring to your original one. In a matter of seconds, you’ll see that all your progress is already natively listed in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered.

    • Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered game save file update

    When you start playing you will see that all the trophies of the remastered version appear, which correspond to the ones you already got in the PS4 game. That is, you do not have to get those trophies again because they are validated.

    Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, same procedure

    With Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales it is exactly the same. If you played the game on PS4, regardless of whether you did it in physical or digital format, you must follow those same steps. We recommend following the guide that we have written above because it is exactly the same, only using the PS4 and PS5 versions of Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

    Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, ways to get it

    As many of you may have noticed, Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered cannot currently be purchased separately on the PS Store. These are the ways to acquire it:

    • If we buy Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales for PS4 | Insert the disc into a PS5 with an optical drive. Click on the 3 dots and select the PS5 version. Proceed to download. In the menu you will have an option to buy the remaster.
    • If we buy Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Standard Edition for PS5 | Launch the game and within the menu you will see an option to buy the remastering.
    • If we buy Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition for PS5 | In physical format you will find a code for its redemption in PlayStation Store. If you buy it digitally, you will have both games in your digital library.
