Atlus has revealed perhaps unsurprisingly that save files for the PS4 version of Persona 5 Royal cannot be transferred to the PS5 edition of the critically acclaimed JPRG.
Given that Atlus previously confirmed that there is no upgrade path for Persona 5 Royal on PS5 – if you own the PS4 edition and want the PS5 release, then you have to buy it again – there probably wasn’t much hope of seeing your save files transferring over.
