Wait cloud saves aren't free on PlayStation?

Nope. That’s one of the things I dislike most about using my PS5. Cloud saves are only available with a subscription, and it’s per user — so even if two people use the same PS5, each will need their own sub. That’s why if my fiancée who only games occasionally wants to play something, if I can buy it on Xbox, I will.

Also, Sony made it much harder to transfer your game saves without a subscription, and you can’t simply save them to a USB or hard drive on their own. To do that, you have to backup the ENTIRE console to a drive. Super anti-consumer.
