Ps3 – Switching from disc to downloaded game and retaining save games on the PS3 and Vita

playstation-plusps-vitaps3

I recently subscribed to the Playstation Plus service and a bunch of games I have are available for free with the service. My question is this: If I download the game from the store will I be able to resume where I left off, i.e, will my save games be intact? (PS3 and Vita)

The games I am interested in are:

  • BioShock Infinite – PS3
  • Uncharted – Vita

Best Answer

It really depends on the game, I'm afraid.

Some Vita games store their saves on the cartridge, rather than the console, and some of the download versions of games on PS+ aren't the exact same version as those sold at retail, so the saves aren't always compatible/accessible.

That said, unless your downloads are capped, then you've nothing to loose by trying.
