No Auto Trophies for Cyberpunk 2077 Owners Switching from PS4 to PS5

Cyberpunk 2077 is out now on the PlayStation 5, and hallelujah – it actually works! Our first impressions of this new-gen version are particularly positive, and while there are still underlying problems with the game itself, at least it’s not crashing every hour anymore. If you braved through the PS4 version, however, there’s a catch: no automatic Trophies.

Fans are divided on how Sony handles free PS4 to PS5 upgrades, but for Trophy hunters there’s a huge positive to its approach: you can get a game’s trinkets twice. Typically, in titles like Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut, when importing your save you’ll unlock all the Trophies you’ve already achieved – potentially resulting in a free Platinum pot. But in CD Projekt RED’s sci-fi epic, that’s not the case.

While the save transfer is, frankly, the smoothest we’ve seen on PS5 to date – it just works – you won’t get a single Trophy when loading in your old PS4 save. This, according to the developer, is because it’s a “different SKU”. But to be honest, so are the likes of Death Stranding: Director’s Cut and Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, so we’re not sure we buy this explanation.

Ultimately, it means you’re going to have to set aside another 100 hours or so to play through this game and get all the Trophies again, but now that it works as intended that’s perhaps not the worst idea in the world.

It’s perhaps the only blight on what otherwise seems to be a very solid re-release, but we suppose it’s not the end of the world.
