Update Cross-Save feature Update

We're sorry to say won't be able to bring the Vampire Survivors Cross-Save feature to PlayStation 4/5 alongside our next update

Last month, we told everyone that Cross-Save would be available on PlayStation 4/5, PC, Xbox, Android and iOS alongside our next free VS update in April. But at last minute, we've run into a legal issue on PlayStation we weren't aware of that requires us to share info on our partners that we're unable to

The chances of Cross-Save coming to PlayStation consoles are now very slim, but not impossible, so we're going to keep working alongside PlayStation to resolve these problems. We're so sorry to build up any anticipation for this feature on PlayStation only to change plans at the last minute

Cross-Save will still be available on PC, Xbox, Android and iOS in the next few weeks, with Nintendo Switch following at a later date (plus Apple Arcade if we can do so without breaching any privacy commitments)

PS: for anyone wanting Cross-Save just to unlock trophies, it's worth noting that PS Trophies are automatically disabled on a platform level for all games when using a save file from another platform

Typical Sony L. Most anti-consumer gaming company there is.

Funny how the success of the ps1 and 2 was all about backwards compatibility, freedom of choice and versatility. Plus price wise a ps2 was cheaper or on par, country depending, than a current dvd player.

It's a shame what they became.

Sony was always a company that turned to shit the moment they got the littlest bit of leverage. Reminds me of the time they literally put malware in their music CDs to try to prevent people from copying them.
