F1 2022 PS4 to PS5 crossover

My questions are about the F1 2022 game. I bought the PS4 champions edition of the game that includes a PS5 upgrade and 18000 pitcoins to spend ingame. So I finally got my hands on a PS5 this week. Now I want to start playing F1 22 on my PS5 with the PS5 version of the game. Is it possible to use and transfer my save and my progression I made on the PS4 version onto the PS5 version of the game? Or does F1 22 not support cross save/progression and do I have to start all over again?

Secondly with the champions edition of the game also came 18000 pitcoins which you can use on items ingame. I didn't use all of them yet, I just bought the podium pass with them and saved the rest of the coins for later use. Do they transfer over from the PS4 version to the PS5 or not? And also does my progression which I already made in the podium pass of the PS4 version also cross over? And besides all of that if I start playing the PS5 version, am I still being able to also play the PS4 version on my PS4 if I want to still keep my PS4.

I also read that people didn't get the dlc that came with the champions edition. I got all the dlc on the ps4 version but don't know if I have it also on ps5. I want to be sure about the things I asked before I start playing on the ps5 version just to be sure.

And one final thing I hope I can get an answer to from someone maybe even the devs. It's about special car liveries in the game. In F1 2021 you had a red bull japan 2021 special car livery (which red bull used during the turkish gp of 2021) for a limited time ingame to use in all modes. After that limited time the devs removed it from the game. I dislked it getting removed cause I wanted the option to choose between the normal livery and the special one, basically was hoping it would be added back permanently. So eventually the devs did that in the end maybe cause of player base demand. Now in the F1 22 version of the game they also had a special Ferrari monza 2022 car livery which I really liked. But it was also for a limited time period before it was removed again. My question is why do things like this get removed when people love those car liveries and want to have the option to choose between them ingame? Are there plans to patch it back into the game for use in all modes like they did with the red bull livery in the 2021 game or not? And if not then why?

Thanks in advance for the help and answering my questions!

  • Hi,

    1) you have to install the PS4 version of the game in your PS5, you save your game data from PS4 using an external HD (o PS Plus I guess), you load it into your PS5. I did the same during F1 2021 times and it worked. N.B.: if you install PS5 version of the game is different, you cannot load with HD anymore, perhaps it works through PS Plus but I'm not sure;

    2) I'm not an expert but I guess pitcoins are account related, so you should find there once you login in the game (PS5);

    3) I suggested at least to keep the special livery for the track at everytime, but here devs may replay.

    Hope it can help 🙂

    No you can’t  use your ps4 saved game data on PS5 you will have to start again.

    your game is tied to your psn account.  So you will still get any unspent pit coin and unlocked content such as liveries etc

    To possibly clarify, you can't use a PS4 save with the PS5 game but you can install the PS4 version of the game on your PS5 and then continue where you left off using your PS4 save. The PS5 version isn't hugely different so doing the latter is what many do.

  • Firstly thanks for all your replies to what I posted. I finally started the game on the PS5, works fine so far. No issues, still have my saved pitcoins and also progression I made on the podium pass is saved.

    Just as you all said I have to start all over in all modes but that is ok with me.

    It's interesting to know that your Podium Pass progress transferred over. I wasn't sure about that.

    Enjoy your new console 🙂.

    Hoi Feyenoordfan84

    begrijp ik goed dat je de game data van f122ps4 op de werkend heb gekregen met f122ps5?

    ik heb namelijk het zelfde probleem.

    @Ultrasonic_77 See I am right occasionally. I still use my ps4 pro aswell as my PS5 and they auto link. So if for instance I have Netflix and Spotify on my ps4. When I downloaded them both on PS5. Didn’t have to sign into them like you’d normally have to.

    Doesn’t matter what console you use if you sign into your psn account all downloaded progression is tied to your account
