  • All active standard jobs and supply requests are canceled.
  • Shared online content (e.g. cargo, constructions or vehicles) will be lost and replaced by new ones.
  • Cargo picked up on the way will be lost.
  • Cargo placed in mailboxes and shelters may be lost.
  • Cargo carried by Sam and placed in private lockers will be retained.
  • Information about other players with whom bridge links or strand contracts connect you will be lost - all other info will be preserved.
  • Customized options are not carried over.

Death Stranding Director's Cut: Transfer PS4 savegame to PS5 - this is how it works

Stand in front of a delivery terminal and press the Options button on the DualSense controller. Select "System" in the options and then "Export save data". Now open Death Stranding Director's Cut on the PS5. If the save data was successfully uploaded, select "Load Game (PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5 )" on the title screen of the PS5 version. Now you can continue your existing save game from the original game in Death Stranding Director's Cut on the PS5.
