One thing that Insomniac Games confirmed months ahead of the release of Spider-Man: Miles Morales was that the remastered version of Spider-Man would not include a cross-save feature. This left many fans feeling disappointed and upset. Although, now it seems those complaints have not fallen on deaf ears.

Insomniac Games announced earlier today via Twitter that an update will be released for the PS4 version of Spider-Man that will allow users to export their save data over to the PS5 version of the game. According to Insomniac, the update will go into effect in just a few weeks, around Thanksgiving.
This should come as good news for many fans of the game. The ability to export saves across consoles is becoming quite a useful, quality of life feature for many different games that are featured on different platforms, cross-gen or otherwise. Despite the Spider-Man remaster still not having a physical release, at least players will now have the option to continue their games on the next console generation. The wait may be another concern, but minimal given the variety of games releasing this week.
The Spider-Man remaster promises to have a lot of upgrades and features previously not included in the original version of the game. This will include the super fast load times and the use of haptic feedback and adaptive triggers featured on the PS5. Hopefully, this will enhance the user’s experience with the game, especially those who now plan to transfer their save data over to the PS5 version once the update releases on the PS4.
In any case, it will be interesting to see where the franchise progresses past the original game and Spider-Man: Miles Morales. The amount of success and popularity the series has achieved just two years after the release of the first game is impressive, especially for such a new franchise. Where the series leads after Miles Morales is anyone’s guess at this point, but for now, the fact that Insomniac Games has actively listened to fan feedback and continues to provide new content by way of new suits and updates is an encouraging thought.
Marvel’s Spider-Man is available now on the PS4 with a PS5 version releasing on November 12th, 2020.
