Considering that Granblue Fantasy: Relink is available on multiple platforms, you might be curious about its cross-save or cross-progression capabilities.
These features are increasingly valuable, allowing players to continue their progress seamlessly across different platforms. Unfortunately, Granblue Fantasy: Relink does not support cross-play between its PlayStation and PC versions. The question then arises: does it offer cross-save and cross-progression functionality?
Can you cross-save between the PlayStation and PC versions of Granblue Fantasy: Relink?
No, Granblue Fantasy: Relink does not permit cross-saves between PlayStation and PC platforms. It would have been convenient to play on PlayStation 5 at home and continue on Steam, ensuring continuity on the Steam Deck while on the move, but unfortunately, this capability is not available.
Interestingly, cross-saving between PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions is also not straightforward. According to an FAQ on the official Granblue Fantasy: Relink website, it is possible to convert PS4 save data into PS5 save data. This means if you initially played on PS4 and later upgraded to PS5, you can transfer your progress to avoid starting anew. This is particularly beneficial considering the potential hours spent farming materials and leveling characters in preparation for post-game content.
However, it’s essential to note that converting a PS4 save to a PS5 save is irreversible. Consequently, you cannot convert a fresh PS5 save back to a PS4 save, preventing you from switching between platforms. Although, once you’ve upgraded from PS4 to PS5, it’s unlikely you’d want to revert to the PS4 version. Sony provides a guide on transferring PS4 save data to PS5 on its website, and you can execute the conversion through an option on the Granblue Fantasy: Relink title screen.
