PlayStation Plus Users Warn New Free Game Has Save Wiping Issue

A recently released free game on PlayStation Plus has reportedly been causing save file deletion issues for some users. The game became available free with PlayStation Plus last month, and unlike Xbox Game Pass which often offers day one releases, this is a rare occurrence for PlayStation Plus subscribers. However, it seems that Extra and Premium tier members have received the game on its release date. Despite many PlayStation Plus users playing the game, some are cautioning others against it due to the save file issue.

The game under discussion is titled “The Rogue Prince of Persia,” a 2D side-scrolling roguelike that was jointly released by Evil Empire and Ubisoft in August, following approximately a year in early access. With a Metacritic score of 81, indicating it’s quite good, the exact number of copies sold is unknown, but it likely generated substantial revenue through PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass deals. Regardless, while many are enjoying this Ubisoft game, some players are advising others to exercise caution.

“Consider Holding Off”

On the PlayStation Plus Reddit, the most popular post in the past day comes from a user expressing their enjoyment of the game but advising others to wait for a fix on the save issue before playing.

Potential Delay in Playing Rogue Prince of Persia”

The post suggests caution before diving back into Rogue Prince of Persia. Despite its appeal that made the writer restart the game when their save file was lost previously, another occurrence within a day has left them contemplating whether to begin anew again. The game employs an autosave feature and cloud storage for saves, yet even after manually uploading the saved data to the console, the player encountered a clean slate once more.

There’s some ambiguity whether this issue arises consistently or just occasionally. However, since other players have encountered the same problem, it’s not entirely rare if it falls into the latter category.

In other comments, a user mentions an issue called a “game-halting glitch” where players are supposed to assemble at a particular spot, but instead become stuck and the mission becomes unresponsive. Luckily, reinitiating the quest from the bonfire resolves the problem temporarily, though it’s not the optimal solution.

The positive aspect is that the problem can be resolved by applying a patch, although only a small number of players are currently encountering this issue. However, it might be beneficial to wait until the fix has been implemented for several weeks to ensure its lasting effectiveness. Nevertheless, as usual, don’t hesitate to share your feedback in the comments below.
