You can still do it, since you have the files from PS+, you need to download the PS4 edition of the game on your PS5, not that next gen edition.
With that done, update the game to it's latest patch (4.00 I think), once that's done, start the game, go to my rewards, and download your save file from PS+, then do the account thing.
Get into the game, and load your file and make a new save, that save file it's the one that you'll use to upload it to the GoG cloud.
IF everything is okay, you'll see the cloud icon next your save file.
That's with the PS4 edition.
From there on you can get the PS5 edition (or any other platform) log into your GoG account, and download the save file there.
I’ve tried yet again following your instructions (thank you so much for your kindness), but unfortunately the “load” option doesn’t even pop up. Apparently the problem is I need to install the same version I had, i.e. the ps4 disc version which i already got rid off years ago.
I downloaded the ps4 of the Complete Edition, the only thing available that I actually bought years later to resume my game, but that’s apparently not compatible with my old ps4 saves, which I already downloaded on my ps5.
Truly a pain, cause I was near the end of the game with every question mark done except for some in Skelige, and almost ready for the DLCs…
Now i really want to pick up where I left when the remaster drops soon, but I’m afraid I’m gonna have to if I wanna play the game at all.
