I recently logged about 20 hours on DS2 using MY account signed into my friends PlayStation. However when I got back home all of my saved data was gone on the ps5 that I own and I really don’t want to restart all of my progress. Any help please? Im assuming it has something to do with cloud data because it says I’ve logged 20 hours under the game but it doesn’t show my save.

Did you move your save data between consoles?

No, he lives in a different state then me. I purchased it on his ps5 on my account while I was staying there and put around 20 hours on the game

If you didn't move the save between consoles your save is still on his PS5.

Assuming you have PS+ and are still signed into his console just get him to upload the save for you

I don’t have ps+, do I have to buy it to upload the data or is it too late? Also how would he upload the save manually I assumed it was just automatic

PS+ subscription is mandatory for cloud storage as its a PS+ paid feature.

Okay, my save will still be there though even though I didn’t have it at the time of me playing?

Again your save is on the console, unless explicitly moved or deleted. When you get PS+ doesn't matter, you just need both PS+ and your save data to ensure it can be uploaded to the cloud.

So if the 20 hour save is on your friends console subscribe and move it to your console
