StaceyPowers Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Anyone happen to know if I uninstall DA Inquisition from PS5, will my save files be okay for later use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazycrab Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Game data and save data are separate on PS4 so I would assume they are on PS5 as well. You should also be able to back up your saves on to external storage like a thumb drive or onto the cloud if you have PS+.

Reality vs Adventure Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Careful though. A problem I keep finding for save files, is that they are rendered useless if a game has a new update. Your save file won't be updated and won't work unless the game stays on the system or if the game has had no new updates once it was uninstalled. Not sure if the save file stays updated if saved in PS+. It actually may be a better choice. Do not depend on an external storage or let it just sit in the system. Game updates are a b***h and a half. StaceyPowers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality vs Adventure Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 For example: you have a save file from a game and the save file is tied to a game with update 2.0. Your save file is 2.0. You uninstall the game... You reinstall...there is an update 3.0 you MUST update before it downloads any save file. It won't give you a choice; believe me. The game now won't read your 2.0 save file Maybe turn off network before reinstalling in case there is some update. Now the problem occurs if your save file is 2.0 and the original disc install is version 1.0. It will say to update the game to read the save file It will work just fine if there was no other update but the 2.0 Let's say update 3.0 is out on the game after you uninstalled it Your save file is 2.0 and the disc is 1.0 You are forced to update to read your 2.0 save file, but it updates the latest version of 3.0 Your save file 2.0 won't work on the 3.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
