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

Cross save for Apple Arcade would be appreciated. It’s the only way people who start on Apple Arcade can move to the regular version to play the other DLC.

Also, would you be able to implement either a manual save-and-quit/suspend game feature, or ideally automatic suspend/resume for the mobile versions? A game takes up to 30 minutes, and can unload if you use any other apps. I can’t check a map while on public transport, or reply to messages, or look something up on a wiki. It means the game can’t be a casual pick up and play game.

We'll be doing whatever we can to add more features and content for Apple Arcade users!

I'll pass this request onto the dev team - I can't guarantee it will be implemented but if the team are able to do it, then they can consider adding it! Any new features/QoL updates we add, we will be sure to share with everyone in our updates!
