With the release of Nioh 2: The Complete Edition for PlayStation 5 and PC this week on Friday 5th February, Team Ninja have updated Nioh 2 for PlayStation 4 to version 1.24, adding the necessary features to support cross-save and multiplayer between generations.

Thankfully you won’t have to start over. Your PS4 version save data can be transferred to PS5, but requires you to update the game first to version 1.24. This will then enable you to upload your PS4 save to their servers via a new feature found in System from the main menu. You can then download the save in Nioh 2: Complete Edition on PS5 using the same PSN account – there’s no cross-save to the Steam version.
